Its Time Again

Can't really equate the two situations. He chooses that drive (which incidentally is one of the most beautiful in the country) so that he can live at Moggs Creek where the Dangerfield extended clan live.

Not sure you're entirely right about this. Even the ex coach gave a backhander to having to drive out to Casey. A two hour drive per training day. I'd be pretty confident that is a factor. McLean certainly cited it as a reason for leaving the club. Lets not revisit him for anything other than he is a direct example.

There are two benefits. The club will be say $400,000 better off if that’s what he’s getting and that obviously will be extra money that can be spent on the soft cap. You should be able to get a pretty senior assistant coach for the money that Goody will be on. I assume we’ll be getting a midfield coach, Chappy will go to the backs and get someone in for the forwards who actually knows what they are doing. I heard an utterly unsubstantiated rumour that Scarlett is being sounded out to be the backs coach.

Goody appointed Director of Coaching and Performance. Best of luck to him. The possible significance of this for MFC is the size of his payout should be reduced by the amount of the salary he receives for this job.

Of course. Thanks. Have amended.

Someone else from Collingwood. Haven’t we learnt our lesson yet. Neeld Dawes Kennedy Lumumba and as Dodos Demons reminded me, Grundy say hello. Rule no. 1 no one from Collingwood Rule no. 2 no one from Collingwood Rule no. 3 no one from Collingwood

Roffey explained at the AGM I think the year before last that Caulfield had only come up as a proposition at that time. The MRC hadn't contemplated it being available before then. Possibly because they have a debt problem they have had to solve.

So the rumours are true. Maxy will be there next season and play his next 100 games there so George goes there as an FS.

It was meant in jest my friend. And not directed at him. Directed at all of us.

If he'd picked GC we'd all be spewing that we've been screwed by the system and just lost another Jackson. Now he's coming to us the MFCSS has struck instantly and he's a probably dud long term prospect. 🥸

Don't think this is a culture issue. Club has put enormous time and resources into kicking skills and goal kicking. Grundy commented on how blown away he was at how much time was spent on this. Hasn't helped. It's the list. Baras once famously said to a player at 3/4 time Show me possessions and I'll shut up. This is going to be a case of show me the forwards and skilled players and shut up. No new coach is going to transform anything without the right list. And right now we don't have it. There's not going to be any magic pill no matter who they appoint, without that being fixed.

Thanks so much for doing this. Much appreciated. Really valuable information. I assume Goody and the team have this. Wonder what the worst culprits think of this and what if anything arw rhwy trying to do about it.

I've always found Buckley to be pretty tactless.

Not to him I suspect. 😉

Hey @WheeloRatings , thanks again for providing all these stats over the journey. Much appreciated. I am wondering if it would be possible to get some stats on the players delivering the ball the most i50 and the result of their delivery. I read last week Trac has kicked the ball i50 this season 45 times and only one of those kicks has been marked. That's not my memory. I would be really interested to see which players kicks it most i50 in the team and what the mark/retention rate is for them. Thanks IT
