Sir Why You Little

Whorethorn were the first to do the Kokoda trail so i think that would qualify as “this” Our blokes wouldn’t leave the Kokoda Canteen at Base Camp ⛺️

Well i certainly hope so, but it doesn’t say a lot for his Captaincy If 14 players have gone behind Goodwin and Jones we are in real sh!t

Bluey has spoken well today Pity Jones couldn’t go out with the coach for a quiet Pot and Parma and sort this out before the PA got wind...

6 years ago...... http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/hours-inside-the-melbourne-demons-den/news-story/cb62f5b88b181c76a3f1eacd910eaa5a?sv=b89661d5cf18b330dd0d180a0ce862be

It is amazingly ironic that the MFC share the same training facilities as the Storm. One club is bulletproof...

Yes, but that breaks trust with the Head Coach. If we had won the last 3 flags i would not have an issue. But last time i looked The MFC choked at the last hurdle and missed the finals altogether (again)

BANG!!

I would have prefered that players had spoken face to face with Goodwin. If that had happened this wouldn’t be an issue. But the AFLPA were bought in

Sadly Spud ? Frawley is pretty much on the money i believe Trust has been broken and better be fixed real quick, like today..

“Father, it’s the giant Mouse” ”Son, no matter what happens, do not open the door ? “ ”ok father....”

What a good bloke, i never realized Hoppy played 113 games, quiet achiever

Could have been tuesdays?? always waited for the radio updates at about 11pm from “The Hanging Judge”

Lever in Watts out for 31 is an excellent outcome bobby will get it one day...

Catholic Schools would be high on that list!!

Exactly what i am worried about, going forward Wolf

Yep. Good old Harrison House!

Maybe not. But it aint up to the players to decide that. The senior coach is paid big dollars ? so he wears the consequences the MFC has killed more coaches than any other club, barring The Aints. Not something i am proud of The players need to win consecutive big games next year to put this issue to bed. How often did you tell a teacher at school part of your sylabus was crap and you refused to do it??

If Goodwin had sat down and listened to the players as you say, i doubt the AFLPA would haveen needed as a mediator but the rest of what you say I understand and i don’t altogether disagree with you, but for one point and that is that in 2016 and 2017 this same list of players (give or take) Choked at the final hurdle and missed the finals, so in my opinion they have forsaken the right to usurp the senior coach, why? Because he knows what the ultimate pressure in late September is all about. He was there on the MCG IN back to back years, and was a good solid player in both games MFC players, apart from Lewis have achieved nothing. If the MFC choke any games in 2018 you can bet your life we will hear about it

That is not the point. The point is The The Senior Coach was over ruled by the players and The AFLPA, on a strategy the Senior Coach wanted to again implement Wagging the Dog is not a good look at all, particularly to a group of players who are yet to achieve anything. I am not a huge fan of Boot Camp either, but it should be The Senior Coach who makes the call, if it F$&@s up it is on his head. He has been there and achieved BACK TO BACK Flags

You haven’t studied psychology have you...? A boot camp tests a persons reactions when they are put under severe exterior pressure. Our list has no right to say anything is too hard, after the performances of Round 22-23. Why? Because they went to water (again) when a large opportunity beckoned. If Whorethon, Sydney or Jeelong baulked at a Boot Camp it wouldn’t be news for more than a day. But we the MFC have absolutely no credits in the bank. I don’t love this stuff, it makes me [censored] angry that players have over ruled the Senior Coach, who last time i looked was a dam solid player who played in Back to Back Flags. The last MFC Player to do that were in 1959-60 which is before most of us were born... the Senior Coach is in charge last time i checked, anytime the AFLPA needs to be bought in then i consider that a problem that may fester on. If you don’t think its important, good for you, but don’t tell me how to percieve this very brittle club when it keeps making mistakes like this.

Yes performance writes history, and ours has been shocking for half a century. Players telling the coach what they will do... (Hollywood Boulevard springs to mind) So Melbourne. I was hoping Roosy and PJ had eradicated such thinking

Goodwin has a big job now. I always thought he had, but it is even bigger now. His strategy has been rebuked by the playing list, the same list that choked a finals berth last season. Only The MFC could do this...

If we choke again near September in 2018, good luck with hoping people will forget this one. Finish Top 4 and win some finals and it will become forgotten....

Heard a few laughs coming out of my radio this morning on this topic. Goodwin better work these guys real hard on the track this week Real Hard...

I think a lot of people are missing the main point here. I am actually quite happy the camp isn’t happening, i said my bit last year. Sleep deprivation is a crock of sh... and can be very dangerous BUT the main point here is Goodwin and The FD wanted the camp to go ahead, the Head Coach, after our pathetic performance in Round 23 (which it was) obviously is trying to mentally challenge the list. And his authority here has been over ruled This is not good in December... small rumbles can get larger. I fully expect a very tough January and Feb now, otherwise Goody could well become redundant mighty fast.....
