Heart Beats True

Goodwin might be a good people manager however there is more to coaching than simply being great with relationship management. I’d also love to know your measurement of “nobody does it better”, this is very debatable. John Longmire says “hi”. A coach needs to also articulate their vision and inspire players to walk the talk, something that is clearly lacking for sustained periods of time throughout the season. We are notorious for not turning up mentally to games this year. Coaches importantly need to define a strategy, make sure all parts are working towards delivering the strategy and making tweaks to ensure the result is achieved. This is where Goodwin falls flat. His inability to make changes quickly or admit a strategy might not be working is a worry. I think it’s fair to say Goody might be a good mate with the players but not a great game day coach. This could be supplemented potentially with some new assistants to cover the cracks. There will be some heat coming his way and rightly so.

We simply need to get a new forward coach who actually played as a forward. It is an ongoing issue that needs to be fixed asap.

Cats also have one of the best list managers in the business to keep their team at a high level. I am of the view however coaching changes need to be made.

No preseason isn’t quite correct. He started training in late January. He has had an ordinary year for a multitude of reasons. I do think he can bounce back though.

Petracca goes alright.

This season was lost well before the loss of Gus. It was lost in the football department throughout the past 3 years.

In some good news, my Collingwood and Hawks mates are also gutted.

This is unfortunately looking like the coach has lost the team. The Dogs are in form but this is putrid.

Pleased they’re switched on for the game tonight 🤦🏼‍♂️ The coach talks about the Melbourne style of game, tonight’s effort is quickly becoming our new brand unfortunately.

I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach this could be nasty tonight.

Happy to take Oscar Allen off their hands. Would be a very handy pickup.

Conversely, the 4 goals in 7 minutes at the start of the fourth to the Giants was pathetic. We should have been switched on.

Yes we are missing players as we all know however it doesn’t excuse the lack of effort at crucial stages and our uncanny ability to be mentally weak in the clinches.

Goodwin won’t go but we desperately need some new blood in the assistant coaching team. Furthermore, Choco needs to be looked at as well as Tim Lamb.

We need some new blood both on the ground and inside the coaches box. Some tough calls need to be made or nothing will change.

Came out flat and getting predictably belted by a good side. This happens far too often. You have to question why the players can’t fire up when needed.

Predictable and pathetic. Bring on 2025.

Bury them Saints 👊

Tomlinson is getting a spanking by Brown. He has dominated this last quarter and Tomo just doesn’t chase.

Would hate to be a forward for Casey. Absolute raffle with the delivery into 50.

That’s an atrocious decision. He must be on the take to pay that FFS.

As soon as the opposition put speed on the ball we look like statues. Sounds familiar.

Hunter’s kicking and hand passes are like my golf game, hit and hope. Most of the time he doesn’t look where he’s directing the ball.

Jeffo’s ground ball ability is fantastic.
