    I'll conflate as much as I like, thank you very much.

    Do what the .... you like.. Easier to ignore what you have to say if you can't even stick to the topic.

    Some of us can.

    Lever is a bit of a one trick pony and too prone to brain fades. All of his career. Its just that now he's slower it he can't hide it anymore.

    Dunno about one trick Jnr. His forte has always been a chess like footy brain. He reads the ball very very well and even as he attacked the ball in flight he'd be preparing to give off..or hold for option's. A big thinker who had sublime agility.

    He still thinks but his body won't play ball now.

    Just for all the club knockers on this and other threads: have a look at the story in the AFL website about Disco and his family and see what the club has done RIGHT!

    Stay focused. The thread discusses the ability and suitability of the current coach to that job.

    Good the club looked after Disco.

    Try not to conflate unnecessarily.

    Improvement is relative when you look at the trash we dished up in the back half of 2024

    And it was a win against 16th who had two key players out. Hardly a sign we’re ready to storm the top four in 2026

    DG.. we have it wrong you see. We're not appreciative of the small offerings when they come along. We beat a lowly team... and we aren't celebrating sufficient enough to appease those too easily appeased. Wow... we snapped a LOSING streak... should be champagne and oysters all round !!

    It's far better to win. Had we not won that game we were truly rubbish. We're now slotted against another struggling outfit but I'm not chalking this up just yet as we know anything can and often does happen.

    Nothing would actually make me happier than we went on from strength to strength... well from whatever and wherever we are ...upwards.

    I really don't care who is the coach. I just want continued and persistent success for the Dees.

    Should the team perform miracles in 26 under SG.. fabulous.

    All I see currently is a lot of FeS2

    Some are easily sated.

    I am genuinely interested/curious how rest of year plays out.

    The elephant in the room is Lever. Rest him for the remainder of the season. 2 serious operations, no preseason have left him struggling to run and compete. TMac stays in andage shouldn't come into consideration form should. Winning is what it is about and not gifting games for the sake of youth. McVee is probably in the same boat . No preseason has left him a shadow of player he can be.

    May comes in for Lever, Riv to cover Sparrow and Howes to line up down back. I am not sure Petty has fully recovered he was on ly doing run throughs at training last week.

    Said this ages ago.. still do. He's never been 100% this year. He's got niggles that obviously haven't properly sorted themselves out. He was brought back in because the club panicked. This has served no one. Lever is a very reasoned, very professional player. It will be annoying him far more than it is any of us that he's not providing to his abilities. He knows it. He'll be frustrated .

    In this game you only have to be a step off your pace or slightly hamstruck and you'll be way off the mark. .

    If there are to be real learnings MFC... how about NOT playing guys 'til they're fit and brought up to speed properly ?? 🤔

    Agree to all this but supporters are allowed to enjoy a win every now and again aren’t we?

    Who wouldn't have enjoyed yesterday's win ?

    I did ..twice. Upon seeing final score and later watching replay as was working through game.

    Spargo for Sparrow seems obvious to me.

    I see Lever and TMac competing for the same spot.

    Is Petty an automatic selection when available? He’s probably a better player than van Rooyen and Jefferson, but I want to see the latter pair get a run together.

    What I’d do:

    In: May, Spargo

    Out: Lever, Sparrow

    What I think will happen:

    In: May, Spargo, Petty

    Out: McDonald, Sparrow, Jefferson

    I laugh... as you're probably right...

    Hopefully not !!

    You would be giving Melksham and TMac another 12 months on todays Performance.

    Lever is now a serious liability, Playing him in such a crucial position has to be looked at long and hard

    Agree

    The only caveat I will throw in is i have serious misgivings that Lever has really ever been 100% rtr this year. Agree , he's a bit of a concern presently.

    Ok I’ll get off this thread now. Both PF and Beelzebum have vowed to not post in this thread should Goody be our coach in 2026, which he will. I’m happy. 😁

    Ghosty.. i won't bother at ALL with dland if Goodwin is still coaching .

    We'll be stuffed.

    I am curious how season plays out and draft/trade. After that sayonara til he's gone.

    Value my sanity and time more.

    First PF, now BB. Could today possibly get any better????? 🥳

    Happy happy, joy joy 🎉

    Be so much better if we just WON...and made it habitual.

    Funny that many chide some for seemingly repetitive criticism...

    And same folk gladly allow Goodwin to roll-out the same 💩 talk the same 💩 resulting in.... yep 💩

    But that's fine.

    Happy clappers might want to adjust their double standards.

    I have one. Success.

    I value my sanity to the extent that if Goodwin is still coaching our club, I will retire from posting in this thread ,at the very least!

    I'm taking another sabbatical should Simon reign in 26.

    That'll please many

    Rivers ans JVR are both contracted.

    Woey and Laurie are fringes and would be no loss whatsoever. For some unknown reason Goodwin clearly doesnt rate Laurie. I think Woewodin is most likely a delisted at the end of the year.

    The hope for their own sake is they get opportunities elsewhere, but i highly doubt it.

    Woey might find opportunities out west .

    Laurie might have been watched over the season . He might fit another team better. As you suggest no 'love' from Goody.
