Can only speculate.. hot yoga? Heard it’s incredibly good for the body.

How was that interaction? What was he doing?

With Jamaras issues off field, I think any club who has him will have consistent issues.

Glad I’m not the only one and I’m not being jaded. Every week is the same spiel and it’s exhausting. In saying that, I do think we are slowly evolving, and making some changes, however I’m not sure when that plan hits its believed target. I’m also not sure if Goody will be the one to continue to see it out, or if they can replace him with a fresh coach who can do that, and excite players again.

Feels like we are watching an election campaign, he is literally a politician, trying to remain in office by any means necessary.

I didn’t hear that, maybe that’s why he started so slow and they have shifted him around a bit.

I’d like to see him stay, he’s a great player. He’s been screwed over in the last few years when it comes to his midfield being completely unable to hit a target or lead. He’s finally getting a bit of form/confidence back. However I guess it depends on what they can get for him and what’s required/helps the team moving forward.

Should be a good game, Carlton usually have strong first quarters and then fall off, and we usually are slow and pick it up. Will be interesting to see what happens. Especially with both teams having a lot in common, ie: contest, trapping it in the forward half.

Don’t disagree, as I said in my other comments.

Good point. I guess hindsight is always there, you see where Hogan is now and it’s a deflating feeling knowing we could have genuine forward.

I think it’s incredibly difficult to find a coach that was not only a brilliant player, but has the ability to teach the right way to instill what they’re after. I think Jones is probably a little bit too much of a mate to the group and they should go for an outsider who has that distance.

Totally agree with that, Maysie was a huge part of the premiership and success since then. No doubt. I wonder, if he hadn’t have come, and another defends took his spot, with Ben Brown being cooked with his knees, would we have had the same outcome, more success or less without May and having Hogan?

Been that way for 10-15 yrs. We got Hogan and decided to send him on his way. Loads of great players have been given the boot. Insanity.

Wonder if their games are televised on free to air on saturdays?

I think playing him is the best thing for him, along with Jefferson and the others who aren’t quite there yet. A lot of players need 1-3 seasons (50) or so games under their belts before they settle. It gives them much needed experience, builds their tanks, shows exactly what they’re required to do each game, and most importantly learn how long and hard the season is, and what they’re required to build to. To not give him or other young players, even if they’re not up to standard is a horrible choice which hinders their journey.

Neil, you can continue to be positive about the same old team, not working, and losing.. some of us want to see change to hopefully come back up the ladder. Ofc none of us enjoy this. Once there’s a bit of success and we aren’t watching Groundhog Day, then we might be able to enjoy the team again, and won’t be required to rant about how many issues there are that seem to be swept under a rug.

🤞

Heard that Goody is being discussed high up the table and it’s do or die…

Was doing some research, and apparently Sam Flanders and Wade Derksen quite available. Derksen more so, as he tried to come to us last year but was knocked back saying he’s “required player” despite this year being in the seconds for 12 weeks.

Judd has put his contract discussions on hold, worrying as he’s had an offer since last year. Either seeking more money/years or other offers. Either way he’s up in the air.

Scary isn’t it, there’s not much going well for the club. Wondering what will change and when, because something has got to give.

Another bottom 4 finish for 26….

You’re right, we should keep them and stay bottom 4 for the next 3 years whilst they’re contracted. Good idea.

Agreed. Disposals is one thing. Completely different is using the ball effectively. They’re both horrible with ball use most of the time.

Bloody well said.
