I disagree to a point, yes the club approves the interviews and they are media trained ie Told how to play the straight bat etc but the club wouldn’t tell him what he can and can’t say cos they wouldn’t know the questions. I reckon Goodwin who preaches respect wouldn’t have liked this that much, prob not overly worried but why give ammo if you just don’t need too.

It’s not smart, I’d rather if he was going to say those things that we were A. In a good stretch of form, B. He actually got a kick and not slaughtered by a grandfather and C. Can actually take the hits he will get, he doesn’t bounce the best.

I’ll be tuning in from the other side of the world.

Sounds like a dream to me, All my family live in Victoria… I try and avoid them 😂 But seriously, enjoy that.

The most telling thing for pig is he still has the turn of speed. Def another contract if he wants it.

As I said, I really like Sparrow so I’m prob unfairly expecting more off him.

I actually thought Sparrow was avg at best. Maybe I hold him in high regards that what he produced tonight (and last few weeks tbh) have been under what I expect from him.

Thought I couldn’t see Dogga, did go off injured, maybe still getting treatment?

Hunt the ball, hunt the man ferociously, win the game. Boom!

Yeah every time I see his age I’m stunned, he looks 25+ already so I think of him as older.

Happy Thursday Deelanders!

So little care. Im usually at work quickly browsing on my phone with fat fingers and I never check what I’ve typed. If autocorrect doesn’t fix it. I ain’t.

No use flicking the switch of the powers disconnected

Maybe all their names are Sheila? So as a plural they are Sheila’s… and he just forgot the ‘ 😂

Goodwin prob looks flat cos we are playing crap, he is devoid of ideas on how to turn it around and LJ is about to walk.

There is pressure and there is half arsed efforts that get deemed pressure.

Sure, and prior to that he was poor and good. His coaching especially of late has been super rigid.

We haven’t evolved. We are playing 2021 football in 2022

The selection has been baffling. We don’t replace Tmac, we tried and no one brings what he does. So change it up, bring in a different player and give a kink to the game plan. After Bowey last year you would think he would be open to shaking things up

I have had faith. I wanted to write this a long time ago. I freely admit, I’m not a massive Goodwin fan, I think during the week he is a very good coach, I reckon on game day he is too stagnant and will follow his theory on game play right to the end even when we are getting spanked. I’ve never thought his in game coaching good. Our selection has been poor, we have continually tried to run too many talls, we can replace Tmac with a tall, he ran and pressured more like a mid than tall. Our best games have been with a smaller forward line. Your point on skill and ability is right, but we haven’t lost it overnight, we lost it ages ago. We dominated on pressure last year, this year we are being dominated and flustered by others pressure and game plans and we are panicking and butchering the ball. we know Goodwin won’t change the game style so unless we get a massive lead early we are pushing feces up the creek.even then we have let teams come from big leads multiple times this year.

Really hope it does, but we don’t look like we have another gear. Last year we were there abouts and it all gloriously came together. This year I reckon we have looked and felt much more disconnected and disorganised. As I’ve said, I hope you all quote this in two months time and call me a nonce, but I’ve not seen cause for optimism in a run for quite a long while.

Sure we are in a similar position, others don’t seem as dominant but we have beaten Lions here and Dogs. They are the only 2 teams in the 8 we have beaten.

Seriously though. We are not a dominant side. We are a side that relies on non game day coaching to win. pretty much all our players are worse or breaking even on last year, I think our coaching is worse than last year. been thinking it for a while but we won’t pass prelim week if we even make that. Last year was a epic run. No repeats here. truly hope I am wrong. Time will tell.

How’s lever looking, ie over head marking etc
