    That’s worked really well for Dodoro and the Bombers

    I couldn’t give a Dam about what they do

    We need to be be more proactive. 
    You have always been bullish on this list Roost

    It has been diluted of talent over the last 3-4 years

    Maybe clubs and player managers love is because we play nice and are easy to deal with (roll over)

    Seems that way

    Maybe we should try being a hard arsed bastard for a while, and actually get some Talent that we have craved

    For mine the best player for us to trade would be Steven May( people are going to hate me for suggesting it). I think it makes the most sense as he’s the one player that a trade could work well for all parties. 


    He would could help a top 4 contender become a premiership team or the likes of North make finals while pocketing a massive pay packet in his last couple of years. He’s still worth a good draft pick imo he improves so many teams in the short term. 
     

    That is just beyond ridiculous

    Because we have other priorities and big forwards are hard to come by.

    Midfields win flags.

    No idea if we're too nice. I think we just know what we want and get the deal done.

    I do acknowledge that our trades post Mahoney have not been great, but we were also a premier by that stage with a cap that was starting to bulge.

    So what you are saying is that we have wanted to Trade in Players for Casey??

    I confirmed that the players adore Goody and that’s all I said. I didn’t address anything other than this. 

    I already knew that anyway.
    I am trying to find some answers so we don’t spend years out of contention, once again

    You do realise that by facilitating moves for fringe players, which is what JJ was and doing the right thing by the player puts us in good stead with the powerful player managers.

    This work doesn't occur in a vacuum. And player managers always speak highly of our club because we treat players with respect.

    So why do we never get the big key Forwards? Something we havent had Since Neita

    I understand what you are saying, but we regularly seem to get the worst deal out of a 2 way trade

    Why is that
Are we too nice??

    Brilliantly said. And you’re spot on about Goody having the support of the players. He HAS NOT LOST A SINGLE ONE OF THEM.  He has their love and support and they don’t think he’s the reason we are where we are.

     

    Before the usual morons jump in
 I know this because I talk to the very people involved. I talk way more than I’d ever let on here because I won’t betray confidences.

    Doesn’t mean a thing if the Gameplan isn’t working 

    This is not personal, i am sure there is genuine love between Goody and his players 

    But the results don’t lie, Goody continues to say “we will learn and get better”


    Something continues to not be working

    I do miss JJ. Granted his ceiling was low but he was a very consistent performer and his floor was good enough to be a starting player.

    He could've helped us so much this season in the midfield.

    I have mentioned JJ a number of times, once again, he is given free passage to go the Swans, making them stronger and we are left with Casey Regulars

    It’s like a 12 point turnaround

    I really don't think it's worth trading Salo.

    He's a close member of the team, he won't net us anything anyway and he doesn't have much longer to go on his contract, nor would he be anywhere near the dollars of Trac or Clarry's contract.

    It simply doesn't make sense, and risks cultural blow backs as well.

    I get you're frustrated by the injuries, but it's not a great move. 

    Support him. See if you can get 10-15 games out of him again (he's played 14 this year) and show Melbourne people (he's a premiership player afterall) that they are valued and not things to be given up on and thrown out when it all gets a little hard.

    We have to rejuvenate the list, now 

    Changes have to be made, or else we will be in 17th spot real fast 

    Tasmania is not far away 

    i understand your sentiment, i love Salo, his cafe was close to my home 

    he is a Premiership Player, but he cannot play at top level anymore 

    It is a brutal industry

    That's exactly the problem with our list - we keep wanting to give players like Laurie, McAdam, Smith and so on more chances, even though they've proven time and time again that they're not up to it. You could say the same about Salem given his past three years. At some point you have to rip off the bandaid and move on.

    Spot on. 
     

    We Must Trade for Players who are ready to play Senior Football straight away 

    We let Bedford go to GW$ and we still hope Laurie will make it, not only do we lose a good quick player, we make GW$ better 

    and that doesn’t mention other blunders who cannot even get a Senior Game when players are injured. 
    It is a complete F$&@ up

    I still dont agree Im afraid.

    Our forward 50 in 2020 and 2021 wasnt mediocre as it had Ben Brown who was still playing reasonable well and TMAC was also playing quite well in those years. Both Brown and Tmac kicked less than half the goals they kicked in 2021 in 2022 and beyond.

    Jackson was also a factor when he moved up forward. I feel that Jackson was actually a massive loss that we never really replaced. Because he was a utility he could move to many positions/roles and Grundy was never that. 

    Id argue that the weakness such as the forward 50 became more apparent in 2022 because BB and Tmac were getting on and we didnt have any replacements.

    And now we lose Brayshaw after trading out Harmes and Jordan. 

    There is no doubt we have had a lot of bad luck, but so do most clubs. 
    We just have not recovered well. 
    We need to employ more recruiting staff around the country

    Yeah Ive heard this but different versions ranging from Max telling Goodwin to let Jackson stay out there as he was already going well, Gawn talking Goodwin into allowing Jackson to start and your version. 

    You can hear the conversation during the 21 GF documentary

    You do realise that Sydney not only have had the COLA salary cap bonuses, they've got academy accesses that has enabled them to grab pretty much all their elite players (captain Mills, Heeney, Gulden and Blakey are all academy).

    Like imagine if we'd just needed a bunch of junk picks to pick up those 4.

    Comparing the QLD and NSW list management builds to any other club is ridiculous and not comparing apples with apples.

    As for Geelong and Collingwood, they've had at least 2 champions each in the 21st century that were father sons. That's luck. Not real list management. 

    Compare that with us. We've had one in Viney.

    The advantages to Sydney have been incredible, going right back to the 90’s. 
    The League get moist when Sydney are winning 

    the advantage is far too much, but until other Clubs rise against it, it will continue 

    imagine Tony Lockett walks in Followed immediately by Lance Franklin!!! He was supposed to go to GW$, but the League were just happy in reality that he was in NSW. 

     

    Jeelong are the Sleepers with all their land deals. These should all be declared

    So you are saying that Goodwin did not want Jackwon to replace Gawn in the third quarter? Has that been confirmed and verified?

    Gawn told Goodwin to leave Jackson on in the middle during the 3rd, whilst Max was on the Bench

    I'm not and never have loved Goodwin, but he won't go and we prob shouldn't sack him either.

    Stafford must go, even if it's to full time ruck coach but we need a proper forwards coach and tbh I'd love Chaplin on too. Backline has gone backwards and it's as predictable as a May kick in.

    I don’t think Goodwin will go either, but this continuous push for “Contest & Defence” has gone too far. They are important elements, but the balance is out of alignment 
    We need to get Run and Flair into the side. Look at the way GW$ carved us up wide on the ‘G

    and a Key Forward, maybe JVR or Jefferson will be going forward, but i still think we need to Trade in a Forward for 2025

    Fullarton, Schache and McAdam gave us a big zero 

    I think the whole Club needs a fresh start, last off season was a very bad time

    That was the modus operandi decades ago, these days they are precise, careful and play by the book and have become quite adept at managing the cap. The consequences of not doing it by the book are too drastic today.

    We shall see about that. Lygon Street still exists 

    You do know The MFC had Wayne Johnson all but stitched up don’t you
