Can you snapshot (Paywall )

Have a sneaky that Kozzie was <100%

Just to say this and the prior posting perfectly ( imho ) encapsulates the Goodwin predicament. You've addressed the nuances which seem to escape some. A mistake in my view is for many the question is " is Goodwin a good or bad coach ?" This goes to the simple criteria of ...is he capable. As you correctly suggest the real litmus is... is he Able ? And this is where it becomes about limitations as the previous is about abilities. ( ironically) Im reminded a little of Kyosaki who would profer, its not whether you can, but whether you will. At Melbourne there's lots of things we could do,but we don't. . This could/should be on another thread but thought to address your post where it is.

I tend to agree on the basis of what we know or think we know. Ahh... but the Circus hasn't quite hit town yet though i can just make our their wagons at the town limits. Much I suspect may turn on what if anything transpires at season's end.

Tis curious, and please bear with me, that many lampoon ne castigate any and all that seem remotely negative about our position. What you're wanting is to be the epitome of 'negative' . Don't get me wrong it is actually a kind of worthy incentive as there can be no other (?) but it's very sad really if this is all we can aspire to. A peculiar choice of sorts.... play new talent in the hope of discovery and looking forward.... or..... play what we know in the hopes of producing a negativity !! I've no faith at all that we can achieve much ( there i am mr negative ) but I'd rather play fair dinkum and have at it with some who surely have earnt a chance . I think that's more positive in attitude. Go us !!

I do agree its really just the margin. I did pre-empt with " i don't expect to win" . Our "game" won't be afforded the freedom it was on Sat and i don't think it ever will when pressed by more able teams. Petty is ok fwd if not 'manned' which of course makes him less than useful under more trying conditions. Doubt Goidy will put him back ( where he belongs lol ) Wonder if Windsor will be afforded another run in the middle where better suited. Hopefully JC returns ( intentional lol ) . Let's trust Kozzy is feeling better. Can't recall who needs/betting on 40 pts but they might get their returns. Im leaning more towards 20/30 unless the Dogs get a hold of us. Still think it'll be a game worth watching. You know ...there'll be learnings to be had 😉

He's not alone. Doggies will be interesting.

Im not expecting to win... I think a few guys might have revisited their "better foitball" v Weagles. As some suggest ( and I'd agree ) it's hard to measure when the oppo isn't that flash. That said there was semblance of linking . Much of these 'better passages" WILL be put to a higher test against the puppies but I'm thinking this might be a more even game than some might predict. Might come down more to a battle of wits. Going to be an interesting game imo.

Excellent point. It makes a mockery of the rule.

Without argument it was good to win yesterday. It was encouraging to see a few lads sieze opportunity and make a good fist of things. Not looking to sad sack the event but think it has to be realised the two sides were differently motivated. If you don't understand you're not paying attention. Reality is Reality. Will be interesting ( to say the least ) what we now can bring to the final 3 games ... against much differently focused teams. I wish those pushing their careers along the very best of luck.

I believe some maybe unwittingly conflating timeliness with voracity. It to me is somewhat damning that much of what she describes can indeed be suggested as being old news. But it's still relevant as were so bloody slow to address anything. That is the sad thing.

Tmac is 195 .. Culley is a handy size. A few more games won't hurt him.. or us.

It's not the worst for sure

Please...... you jest.... others mightn't 😉

....against a half baked outfit that's just asked the AFL for ANOTHER pick 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Guy's a genius

OK 😀

She's a keeper is ol' Kelli 😉

It's a lot better to win than to lose..... (and even worse to win and lose in the same game...) Chuffed for Culley... I mean who'd da thunk ??.. ( except a lot of people... lol ) Fancy playing a bloke suited to the midfield...in the midfield.. genius. What surprises await !! Not a lot to take away otherwise.. AFL side v not-really AFL side... let's be real. That said I hope supporters enjoy today and savour the scent of success... at least until next Sunday arvo where the first of 3 steam rollers awaits 🥴 But for now... grin away 😉

Reality in... pretence out

Thanks .. I was really just replying to Bin. Pert managed to eek yet more coin for God knows what !! Caulfield, about as symbolic of the club as anything in my view.

Won't have long to wait today to know. I used to think the 1st qtr would give a good indication. But we've evolved that to 3 and even then ...who the ...

Correct choice . Enjoy your day 👍

Yet actions speak louder than words. It's McVee ( and/or management) that's not budging. Had something amenable to sign all season...but hasn't 🤔🤔🤔 Club's a clusterthuck of harmony and success... what's not to like ?? Waiting for the dust to settle and scene become clear imho. Dont blame him.

Hasn't he recently departed all things Melbourne after finishing his little consultancy like 'casho' wrt Caulfield ?

Bingo
