Foolish comment. When did I say at the expense of us. 

Of course it is at our expense 

We didn’t win it. 
We are DEMONS

F$&@ the Saints to eternity

I have a soft spot for the Saints. I’d love to see a premiership for them (not against us) 

Why waste a Premiership on them?

I want number 14 thanks

Meth Coke going really well.

Convinced we had a tough week on the track the way we are covering the ground today.

Infuriating we let that game go…😡

Sick of us leading to the pockets.

3 years now?

Just now, picket fence said:

We have garbage forwards and zero structure, sack Stafford!

Interesting on MMM on Friday, Max said that Stafford was one of the best Coaches going around!!

Dominant first quarter 

Wow. What a difference it makes boys…

This is what happens when we don't have any real 2nd ruck on our list, or at least we don't use them.

Meanwhile Sydneare flying….😡

I know they choked it last week. But i fear that disgusting brown Hawk thing will be back making havoc soon. 
 

they must be taken down

They weren't too fussed after they knew McAdam was leaving but before he was leaving they wanted a straight swap for Petty.

It took them a couple of weeks to work out it wasn't happening.

He played well for them for a 3 year period.

McAdam played some good games at Crom, but he hasn’t had consistency yet. If we can get that out of him, then he will be an asset. 
His kicking sure let him down last week.

Unless you are part of his medical team that statement does nothing for your credibility 

I have had a brain injury. So i know a little bit about it, does that measure up for cred?

Of course it isn't.   Jackson is one unique player and cannot be easily replaced.  Who was on the market at the time we should have gone for, and got???

Not much, which is why we shouldn’t have let other players leave since. We now have a large imbalance 

14 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

no, jackson netted us the the picks that became jefferson and windsor; the latter is already a key member of our (possible) top 4 side in 2024

from a player personnel perspective, i'd say grundy was the replacement for jackson; grundy didn't suit our structure as he was unable to play anything other than as starting ruck / robbed gawn of his ability to be the #1 ruckman in the game; subsequently grundy was effectively replaced by fullarton - one vfl player in 2023 replacing one vfl player in 2024 - albeit at a salary cap saving of probably ~$400k per annum

schache replaced weideman - one vfl player in 2022 replacing one vfl player in 2023

I am talking about our list as it Stands

Not the mechanics of how it got there. 
 

We have downgraded over the last 2 years….

McAdam has only played one game. I'm for giving him a chance to make a difference to our forward set-up.

Of course, i hope he does well, he needs to fire in the back half of the season

Jackson averaged 0.6 goals per game for us. Not exactly a huge hole up fwd. Sure he is very good player on the ball. but we need a big key fwd, hopefully one day we will get one

but to think we have let one go is just untrue

I can’t agree with that, our list has become way more inferior up forward since LJ left 

2 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

not really - you said we 'let forward players go to other clubs, and replaced them with inferior talent'

well, no, we didn't

the only true forwards who've left us are hogan and bedford; we replaced them with may, sparrow, and pick 44, which was on-traded with our 2nd ruckman to bring in pick 13, 2023 first rounder, and 2023 second rounder

even accounting for jackson as ostensibly being a forward, we got windsor for him, so... inferior talent? no

I am talking about our list as it stands

Fullarton/Schache are the replacements for Jackson, which is a huge downgrade 

Just now, whatwhat say what said:

i don't think you make any sense at all

 

It’s fairly easy to comprehend 

3 minutes ago, DubDee said:

so only one example of all the forwards we gave away. A ruck/fwd who kicked a few goals and desperately wanted to go home

Not sure you understand that there are things outside of our control

I know Jackson wanted to go home, i am talking about the replacements.

 
Gaping hole

Just now, whatwhat say what said:

so yr referencing one player - a 2nd year skinny tall forward - as evidence that we replaced a host of players with inferior talent?

may is better than all of those who have left, as evidenced by his all-australian selections and premiership player status

No. I am referencing at least 3 players 

on Paper Fullarton/Schache is our replacement for Jackson. 
That is a huge loss on Matchday

Jefferson is nowhere near AFL standard right now 

i am not talking about Stephen May. I am talking about the Forward line. 
 

1 minute ago, whatwhat say what said:

who?

hogan; got may and sparrow instead

bedford; we preferred chandler as a small pressure forward

jackson; got jefferson and windsor when he wanted to go home

Sure.

Still leaves a huge hole in the forward line, considering what we lost. 
 

not sold on Jeffeerson at all so far

2 minutes ago, DubDee said:

like who?

mr. 2 possessions bedford?

obviously the Hogan situation couldn’t be helped. he took 8 years to get his head together as evidenced by his time at Freo

For starters

Luke Jackson-Fullerton/Schache

That’s the number 1 problem this year 

Losing Brayshaw and Jordon.
Angus was never going to pass a medical after last September, We let Jordon go way too easily 

I hope McAdam can show us something, but he is very injury prone, if you know any Crows Supporters, they weren’t too fussed losing him

2 minutes ago, DubDee said:

unfortunately Goody has to attend those and answer questions. 

Our fwd line is average but no easy answers. We have obviously tried many different options 

We have let forward players go to other clubs, and replaced them with inferior talent 

That’s the bottom line

1 minute ago, DubDee said:

who’s talking? the club have been pretty quiet 

or should we shut down this forum?

The weekly press conferences. 
“learnings…” 

Our forward connections have stagnated for the last 2 Seasons and look very similar this year. 
It’s probably a good thing we are “out” of the eight right now, might get the whole Football Department to be more Ruthless and Mean..

Oh for the love of god… 😂

It’s a fair assessment after the last 2 weeks

And the GC too pls.  Absolute basket case of a club that will forever be also rans.  Just pinch their top tier and be gone.

AFLcontinue to plowing millions and sending so many careers to the wolves going there.

Gold Coast make the AFL a lot of money through the Broadcast arrangements, so they won’t be going anywhere
