Good news GTG, it’s only 55 to wait

Goodwin doesn’t like admitting he gets things wrong

Salem is soft, Max is soft, Lever is soft (and a liability in the air), Fritta is soft, Spargo is soft. Where the [censored] has our ruthless running and physicality gone? Major decisions and lists changes are needed if we are wanting to realistically contend again with this list. Goodwins time has come and gone, as the boys are no longer committing to the gameplan (he cannot inspire the players anymore). Let’s see what the pres does, as it’s easy to come in when times are good, how all she react when there is a little pressure. I hope unlike our coach she freezes and opts for the defensive faith in the system. Our club has complacently reverted back to being reactive. Also, can we find another name for Melbourne in the indigenous language other than Narrm, as we are doing that name a disservice.

New goal age is 91 for me then. Filth supporters will outnumber us 2-1 KB

Grateful for Goody coaching us to the 2021 flag, but he’s got to go. We’ve become way too easy to coach against, and have no plan B. Gotta clean out the assistants too.

How long left

Gosh we are making it hard work for ourselves. The most dangerous we’ve looked is when we’ve gone in quick. Then there’s all the handball bs. Spargo and Fritta need to eat some cement and harden up (look at Gus’s attack running back - get that into your games). Where has our accurate goal kicking gone? And for the love of god, someone get attack side of ball-ups

Either trade the picks for ready-made talent (hard unless we shed some cap space ourselves), or improve our picks to have a good presence inside the first 20 picks.

I was wondering when the last time it was that a team won by 100 points one week, then lost by 100 the very next? Dorks win was to appease the masses (and WCE are truly that awful). If Hawks want Harley Reid then they're gonna need to get their percentage back in order (and the Saints are good at an easy kill)

The filth are a good team, no doubt. They have been the best team of the year to date (so were we this time last year). I just think that come finals when wins mean the most and fear of losing is all the more powerful, they'll once again be found wanting.

Our 2021 victory was nothing like the Dogs in 16 aside from premiership droughts being broken. The Dogs were simply the best team of the finals, they werent the best team of the year. We were. We were minor premiers, and easily accounted for all comers in our finals.

Will probably look to explore other opportunities at years end, and i wouldnt blame him.

Why not, we are in contention now.

I will gladly join you in booing the umpires, they deserve to be held to account. i see we’ve drawn Nichols this game, so I will definitely be booing.

Nope

Nothing as far as facilities goes.

Goody’s key pillars of contest and defence are failing miserably this year. Getting killed in clearances and all at sea when defending. This is 100% an attitude problem from both the playing and coaching group. Are they too proud to admit it to themselves? Or simply too arrogant to believe that it simply is not the case? Thankfully we still have time to right the ship, because this isn’t something that can simply be turned on like a light switch. A team like ours needs belief, confidence and momentum for it to be sustained. The positive is that we are 7-3 and havent really got going yet. The negative is that we are 10 rounds in and have yet to get going.

I think you mean truth 189227. Sounds like he’d be stepping down after this w/e and not seeing out the season. He owes the Tigs nothing after delivering 3 flags.

The way Clarrie has been playing of late, a little time off won’t be the worst thing for him. The big question is who will step up in his absence? 1 player is not going to fill the entire void, but several stepping up will. How much of a team do we want to be?

Max for me at the moment is being way too passive. I’m not wanting him to go out and physically intimidate, but for the love of god have a presence on the field Max.

I reckon the players and coaches think we do, but I’m not so sure. Surely we would’ve seen it for more than just half a quarter here and there during games this season. I reckon our fitness levels are poor, as is our attitude.

Not having 4 to 5 Petraccas/Oliver’s is not the issue. It’s the gap in quality between these 2 to the rest on our list. Our midfield quality is very shallow. So much so that when Clarry and Trac aren’t firing, we’re in big trouble (this is further exacerbated by our very poor ruck-mid connection). Forget the draft, we need to bring in quality midfield talent now. If that means letting the likes of Harmes, Brayshaw, Sparrow, ANB and JJ go, then so be it. Surely the likes of Tim Kelly, Whitfield, Greene & Green from WCE & GWS want some onfield success? Go after them.

Goodwin no comprende

We are indeed a very soft side. Don’t have a shred of nastiness in us.

We are simply way too reactive in seeing how the opposition plays. Heres a thought, be proactive and hunt the ball and player. We’re a bunch of individuals out there at the moment. A shadow of our 2021 selves.
