Not sure why Tomlinson is always the fall guy. Clearly not one of Goody’s favourites.

Yep. Get the umpires to give you everything, have your opponent down 3 players for most of the game, off a 5 day break and have an opposition player play on from a set shot 2 metres out and miss. That’s the way to win.

Why, they have been consistent, all frees to Carlton. Absolutely pathetic umpiring.

Well he could have gone into the ruck and beaten Grundy. He could have gone down the other end and flattened the Lizard. He could have gone into the middle and run with Heeney. He could also have told Max to jump early with knees up to stop Grundy wrestling. He could also have organized the oranges for 3/4 time. You see there is a lot more he could have done. Seriously though, he is really stiff, as I thought he was one of our better players and would end up on Lobb this week.

How does Eddie’s cheering In a restaurant for Maynard getting off look now?

Even the announcement from the MFC in op says “”will be medically retired effective immediately “ not, “on Doctors advice Gus has decided to retire.” I have seen it in a few places, the decision was made by others.

She is only 33. Dillon is 52. If he stays 10 years, she will be 43, perfect age for CEO.

I think this bloke could be a bust, if given a long term big money guaranteed contract. I wouldn't mortgage the club for him.

She actually did take action, she overruled the MRO and forced it to the Tribunal. If Christian had his way, there would have been no Tribunal hearing, as he saw "nothing in it".

Would you have preferred she overruled the Tribunal? She said at the time the AFL were unhappy about it and has since made that action illegal.

No, just an observation.

Laura Kane will succeed Andrew Dillon, take it to the bank. She is so impressive.

Probably 3 more for me.

They have or had Darcy Fort as well.

Kane Cornes on Sunday Footy Show said “Max gets roughed up and doesn’t fight back and his teammates don’t help him.” Pretty accurate IMO.

That is where is starts.

Billings and Woey can play in defence. Then with Rivers, Howes, McVee, Bowey, Hore, Salem and Windsor ( possibly doing a Sheezel ) and the fact that AMW has never played in defence at Casey, I see him as a forward, the position he was recruited for. AMW is more of an opportunistic goal kicker.

Think he will get his chance, but probably not great to bring too many new players in at once. You might have the changes correct.

I think we need him as a forward.

This is a hard one picket. At times I think Goody is not a great coach. I then reflect on results. He won us our first flag in 57 years. The last 2 years we have spent 2 weeks out of the top 4. In 22 we had injuries derail our flag chances, with Clarry, Trac, Max and several others all injured in the finals. In 2023 we had injuries absolutely kill us at the end of the year, Gus knocked out and then JVR suspended. We lost all 4 finals in 2022 and 2023, not only with the injuries and suspensions, but with terrible kicking for goal, with more scoring shots than our opposition in every game. We had bad luck with Max touching a goal from Clarry and then a goal being taken off ANB for God knows what against Carlton. So better luck with injuries, dirty knock outs and suspensions, but most importantly reasonable kicking for goal, could have seen us with 2 more flags. What would we say about Goody as a Coach then. Which of the above factors is the Coaches' fault, injuries, suspension, dirty play and poor goal kicking? Would it be unfair to say that Petty, Melk, Gus and/or a fit BBB and Tom Mac playing and we beat the Pies and and go straight into the PF against GWS and then possibly into the GF against Brisbane? Can we criticize Goody for perceived mistakes, absolutely, but gee, look at the above and there is a clear argument to say he is unlucky not to be a triple flag coach right now.

Two games in and I already hate this season.

Jefferson in the back pocket, seriously? Must be trying to teach him something.

If Grundy can run around into Max's area, Max can jump. Even if he went early and gave away a free, it wouldn't happen again.

Either do the rest of us, but stop the nice guy patting on the head and helping the opposition up from the ground at the very least.

I do. When the guy keeps running across the line to wrestle you and block your jump, jump early with knees up and it won't happen again. I was screaming that at the TV all game, but no one heard me.
