How quickly some people think people move from pro or against a certain player (usually positive to negative)

or more than singlets and clothing in his "bonus " package

Surely his "manager" has some morals. If not he should be deregistered. A contract is a contract entered into by BOTH sides. Why should the Club have to baby sit people who do not honour their committments. How would Gawny & JV feel having given everything to a Club and people ><.* *8 $^%& on their face !!! If MFC "subsidise" his payments then I am following Soccer. IF it is true then the AFL should be loooking at Geelong player payments (not just now, but over a number of years.

The bloke has not even got in the door and the knives are out for him, because he did not kick 500 goals a season. Chris Fagan did not play AFL, does that mean he cannot coach ? About time some people get real. This is fast becoming the most negative group of people in football, which is supposed to be a game which we enjoy ,not a character asassination bureau.

The way he went about his football and involvement in MFC reflected the quality of the person. That speech (without notes !!)cemented my thoughts exactly. Well done Gus !!!!

Just get over it. The media have found the circus and by hook or by crook thye will milk every little bit of inuendo out of this. WHile they are hounding MFC they are leaving C'wood,Essendon & Carlton alone ...........wonder why !!!!

Maybe there was an emphasis (by the "Really DUMB" Coaching panel to develop his ball getting skills when he went back to Casey. They actually do those sort of things .

Is there a similar thread at Collingwood because they finished out of the 8,sliding down from a Premiership. Then compare not just the injuries, but the quality(players) of injured time !!! I do not think Goodwin was responsible for Brayshaw, Oliver, Petracca , May, Lever , Gawn ets.

Probably as good a time to have his arm in a sling I suppose !!

And we haven't discussed Bedford ??? Good Luck to James J he has shown to many people he is good enough. Well Done !!

I did not know that Pert & Roffey were current players so cannot be blamed for our results this season. Nearly everyone of our key players had extended absences through injury etc during the year. Start with losing Gus (due to an unreportable offence), then Clarrie's issues & injuries, Petracca (due to an unreportable offence), May, Lever , Salem & Gawny towards end of year (plus Bowey & Spargo who were regulars). The vitriol directed at Roffey, Pert & Goodwin goes beyond fairness and contructiveness !!

Did they check this with Petracca ?

No it is from the infallible source of the media (confidential of course) Why are we picking sides now !!! No wonder we get into a lather over issues. There is a full pre season to be had yet AND some of our marginals will have matured plus you never know what is going to happen in the next 6 months !!! See you all next year !!!

I think that Goodwin arrives at a Press Conference, politely asks Messrs Morris, Cornes, Lloyd, McLure to politely remove themselves from the room so the conference can then proceed.

So far some people have discovered absolute genii at Club Administration. If Kate kept on butting in on Footy matters then she would be classed " interfering "shiela" who does not have a clue about football (and does not know her place). If Pert started telling the Coach how to coach and manage footy.........well !! If Goodwin started to tell the Medical Staff how to do their job(s), then........ But if you are a fooballa you must by (media)virtue know everythink. None of the responsibility is yours but you can lay on your back and kick your heels and then the most knowledgable people, the media in the hole world will automatically assume you must be right ,because a lot of the media are ex -footballers . From what appeared somewhere ,just before the nightman came and collected ...... One of the criticisms was that no one came to visit our footballa in intensive care. A bit of logic here, that if you are in intensive care ,visitation rights are extremley limited (by nature of the reason you are in intensive care), so the last thing you need is a pile of teammates calling in on the way home from dressup day. I am just sick of this media driven exercise who suddenly assume they are Club Administrators, Medical Specialists, Psychiatrists etc except in most cases they are Hans Christian Andersons !! I sincerely hope that Christian Petracca fulfils the contract he willingly SIGNED up for even though it is with a Club that does not play in front of bid enough crowds.
