Disregard if you will that this is just one game in. Actually, disregard the result. I'll be brazen enough to suggest we are at the start of a new era. I'm not disrespecting Goodie. He came , had a vision, had some very interesting ideas ( so much they changed the rules ...thats amazing really ) He guided his troops as we were under the realities that were and got us the best box of Choccies !! Thankyou. But we're here now and the club is different. Hence new era. Will we dance the dance again ?? 🤔🤔 I think we might. Not this year, nor likely next... but look out after that. I see something in this bloke.... I reckon all his charges see something, even seasoned gladiators feel reinvigorated. Viney's champing at the bit. All many of us felt for a long time is we have ability, some very decent talent on our list. Now, instead of 18 blokes defending, we've 18 blokes attacking !! We often comment about players buying in. King definitely has.. He's now a committed Demon. As ol Big Kev (rip) would say... I'm excited !!

He will be very much the 'quieter' achiever ... but am sure he gets that. A very astute acquisition

There is much to say about this. There are those who's only joy is to NAG ! Tbh a lot of the horsey set are right up themselves and can go [censored] themselves sideways Some in that 'field' are totally of themselves... To build MFC at Caulfield is not hard...truly There is a lot of rubbish debated here The problem is political... not about the build.

Leave it.. We're good

The AwFuL are a corruption of administrative delegation. They weren't always but have been for a long time. When old Ralphy Lane ceased influence it all went pear shaped. It's a club....just not one we're in 😞

Excellent analysis. Thanks Jeff

My thoughts are similar. In reality ( well imho ) the imagery only really defined he had the ball behind the post line. But the actual deliberation is about where control is initiated... and that was before tge ball crosses the imaginary line of the back of the posts. This is a logical reasoning. That ought to have been a mark

I think he has... but two things come to mind... nit always a clear path.... and he would be very aware that he's the new kid. He seems very keen on "team " things. He's not selfish. Possibly as he matures and grows into his part, he'll understand better when there ARE times to be that player,kick that goal. He's even now imho quite adept at not overreaching the moment. Hell, for a first game he's exceptional

Love Titus... 'Owen Two' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bless their little hearts ....

He has what many dont... speed, agility and TEMPO. These are the magic ingredients of magically creating space where one seems. Flash could , Robbie ( the Master ) ..Pendles.. Trav J too.. These aren't alone but come to mind What i like,really really like is the syncronicity between Trelly and Koz takes it exponentially. Going to be an absolute hoot and a holler watching them together. They feed off each other 😉

Handy if such.. Aged well.... and probably went straight into one 😉

Yes commented upon that somewhere.. The one on the Saint's two ?? Was very well done. Ould easily have been a goal and dramatically changed momentum. I just feel we're just a little lacking in defence atm. Could be opened up by better teams 🤔

Putting all the personnel aside and looking at the game it was a pure joy to see the use of 'clever' football. After years of dour negative style playing here we saw the consummate opposite. Talking with mate (and Saint supporter ) I suggested the biggest change is almost along the lines of glass half full/ half empty style of argument. With Goodwin the focus was on stoppages, on defence. Even the forwards were bogged down with defending inside the fwd arc. Something that always befuddled me ( as a forward,long long long time ago ) Goody played a team of 18 defenders. FFwd We now setup up attacks as far back as deep in our defended arc. KING thinks of the game as having 18 attacking players. Instead of getting mired in ballups and stoppages we now try to get the ball moving and intelligently. The next kick isn't necessarily to a player...it's to advantage... We are no longer dropping bombs on heads we're kicking and creating opportunities for leads. Anyone who's played this game knows none of this is new but it's been quite a while since most of us have seen blokes in a Red & Blue jumper playing this way, and playing well. To think it took just ONE preseason .. just one 🤔🙄 Our game is still a tad rough and raw but the signs are there. We're not finishing 14th..... just saying

So good... SO GOOD !!!
