Geelong FC list mgt re Chris Scott
All drafted AFL players have the talent to make it. What makes the difference is the training they have on top of their natural talent. Successful clubs are great at developing their players to be as possible as to the bets they can be. We have done it well in patches, The cats seem too have a great system within their walls. As much as I find Scott annoying, he has been a great coach for their club.

Time to go Goody?
It reminds me of the last years of Daniher, the players loved him, tried to change his gameplay and it was a flop as we fell off a cliff. History is repeating itself. Simply Goodwin and his team dont have the answers. Personally based upon the games so far, the team is not progressing. What we don't want is the situation with Simpson at the Eagles that dragged out too long for no benefit for the coach or the players/club.

POSTGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon
I think that will be the last time I'll tip us for the season. Lucky we're going to get an amazing pick. with our No.1 pick this year. Oh wait! Sadly 10 minutes of team football combined with poor tactics in the first half is not good enough, People are lamenting May and Gawn mistakes, but in the scheme of things it would not have made a difference for those couple fo goals. The team tactically and physically have not been prepared for this season to compete for 4 qtrs. I switch off with 5 to go, so I didn't see the player post siren reactions this week.

The Yes case is getting stronger every week. a 10 minute effort is pre-Roo's type effort.

It's half time. we cant score. I would expect to see some major changes to our structure to try and score. We cannot contest anywhere in the air. If they dont, then there is no hope with this coaching group.

TRAINING: Monday 7th April 2025
I really dislike this for any player, I think a single run at least in the 2nds to get touch going is a good thing. It seems if you're talented you can some straight in.

Recruiting - where did it all go wrong
Correct, players want to play as many games as they can. ideally in their preferred position. Like Howe being told he'll be a forward at the pies as part of his move.

how the [censored] did the cats almost take an uncontested chest mark from that clearance from Max...lucky it was dropped. no hunger from the forwards.
