    On the train back from the MCG. Against my better judgement I still went to this game 😁 Result was not unexpected, at least this means the Voss era is coming to a close soon. I feel for him, was a superstar footballer but just isn't senior coach material (not to absolve some of the players mind you) and he should have been given better support. It simply hasn't worked out.

    I still believe that in the right hands with some intelligent list management moves the Blues can be a contender in a fairly short time frame, but remains to be seen if enough levers can be pulled to get closer to that goal ...

    Such a Tragedy…

    Other teams think about it

    This is a system with connections and it certainly didn’t take them 3 years to learn it

    Just listened to Goodys press.press.press.he is delusional,same speech every time,its a process going forward yet well keep playing the 3 turn over kings in the middle.really,that's not going forward,that's starting 2026 poorly.same [censored] all the time,I'd much rather watch the kids get beaten than watch the old boys get beaten

    I just wish he would show some emotion.

    Get angry that we have burnt another season. The current process isn’t working, so i really don’t want to hear about it every 30 seconds.

    Hardwick would be a great Coach for this list.

    So we've got forwards who won't lead and mids who bomb away yet this is the fault of the coach?

    It's 100% on the players and that's why players such as long-bomb-Clarrie sat on the pine early in the season

    Move long-bomb-Petracca forward so he becomes a target and then move long-bomb-Viney forward as well

    Solves one problem but creates another ... our new look midfield needs many more games under their belts so as to become a potent force

    So Goodwin has been pro-active with the new game plan but it needs time and more importantly, a buy-in from all and sundry

    Yes after 4 years, it is on The Head Coach, if he cannot explain his Gameplan after 4 Seasons

    Sure some of the Blame can be levelled at Players, but the Head Coach is employed by the Club to get the best out of the list.

    This has not happened since 2021

    this is what games under the roof at the carpark were meant to be like

    for the most part i'd argue it's made for more dour than fast football on the whole, but that's demonland 'vibe' as opposed to any statistical fact

    Pity that there’s nobody there…

    "Hey fellas, can you hit up a target in the forward line and can the forwards get on your bikes and present to the ball carrier"

    It's that simple, it really is. It's not rocket science, just basic footy 101

    Yet our players are incapable of carrying out a simple instruction that could be used for the under 12's

    We've got many footballers who are deficient in footy IQ

    I don’t think the Coach is great at communicating his messages, thus I want Change, whilst the playing list still has the talent

    4 minutes ago, Macca said:

    Well you certainly didn't blame Bailey

    Nor did I but I certainly did blame the players (more so for their lack of talent) Little did we know that the thumpings would continue into 2012 & 2013

    So we've got plenty of talent now but the players just can't adapt to a new style

    But you never know, by the end of year the penny might drop for the players

    Share the ball instead of long bombs doesn't seem to be too big of an ask. But for our players, it is seemingly too much of an ask ... except for about 4 or 5 games this season when the new plan was enacted

    So we know the players are capable otherwise we don't beat Brisbane (up there) or run the Pies close

    We have already waited 4 years for a dysfunctional forward line to change.

    It’s time for a change

    As for Bailey. I never blamed him. He was Coaching with one arm behind his back

    The Blame was always on Schwab (and Conolly to a lesser extent)

    You need to go a lot harder on the players as a whole. By constantly lambasting Goodwin, you make it look like he's responsible for all the players failings

    Truth is that any player is responsible for their own performances

    The coach can only do so much. We've got any number of players who can't carry out simple instructions

    And then people like you let them off the hook by blaming the coach

    First quarter against the GC says it all. Disinterested players who lack motivation. Not many self-starters amongst the playing group. Lazy & unaccountable

    Maybe the instructions suck???

    Goodwin is on record in the pursuit of a new game plan started in early 2024

    Players couldn't adjust so we went back to the old ways before attempting the same game plan from the start of this season

    Again, the players couldn't adjust so we are where we are as a result

    Goodwin must have known the change in game plan was risky but he took that risk regardless. Should be applauded for doing so, not lambasted

    As for the players, many of them lack footy IQ and there lies the problem

    A Gameplan is useless if it cannot be executed….

    That is on the Coacing Staff

    You'll never get it Wyl

    Depending on who is the coach you change your mind about the players efforts on a day to day basis

    You even blamed Goodwin when Clarrie went off the rails. Astonishing

    World Hunger? On Goodwin?

    What are you talking about?

    What happened with Clarry is on Clarry

    I am not a huge fan of the Coach being mates with his players, as i think it can blur the line of Respect

    Players always take some blame when things go wrong, but ultimately The Head Coach is the one in Charge.

    Maybe it is YOU who don’t get it Macca…

    Bailey lost a lot and Goodwin has won a lot of games? (including a flag)

    There's a big 'like' factor in sport and I reckon Goodwin's deadpan demeaner isn't well liked

    Where as Bailey seemed to be well liked

    You went to town on the players over 186 yet when the players let themselves down badly against North you blamed Goodwin

    Your argument lacks consistency

    I blame the Gameplan

    It has been dysfunctional for 4 years

    That is on the Coach

    As for Dean Bailey, well that is on Cameron Schwab…

    In my world it's incumbent on the players to get the best out of themselves

    That's not happening and the coach cannot hold their hands

    During the Bailey years you constantly blamed the players. Personalities?

    Why the switcheroo?

    Totally different scenario when Bailey was Coaching and you know it Macca

    Well, in my circle, it's the players who are copping it big time. Not the coach

    This site is often not a good example of the thinking as we tend to see 5 or 6 people shiiitt-canning the coach hundreds and hundreds of times (like parrots)

    In terms of expectations and the strength of list, this is the worst year I can ever recall (in terms of underachieving) And we can't blame injuries either

    We've got a list of players who can't carry out simple instructions

    Lazy & Selfish

    Macca you keep arguing that it is the Players who are not performing.

    It is the job of the Head Coach to get those Players performing, if this doesn’t happen, then the Head Coach will be terminated

    That’s why he is on a $Mill + a year

    Goodwin must get results…

    Once again, there are plenty of valid reasons (besides ordinary goal kicking) for why the 2022 and 2023 finals series ended up the way the did, the most crucial of which had absolutely zero to do with coaching.

    And if you want to extend it further, in 2024 we had no Brayshaw, lost Petracca half way through the year, never had a 100% Oliver, no longer had Jordan or Harmes and were having to cover all these gaps with inexperienced 1st and 2nd year players.

    Again, nothing to do with coaching.

    Brayshaw was a big loss, the rest was all controllable from inside, a slow continual decline…

    Gut feeling is telling me the board are waiting for Incoming President Steven Smith and the incoming CEO Paul Guerra to bring in their own man and clean house top to bottom.

    I don't think Simon has the courage or the bottle to move players on.

    He is to attached to the players who have bought the club that elusive premiership.

    Things are moving with the new CEO, i don’t know any exact details, but he is definitely fully involved.
