BLWNBA

I'm a big fan and a player I'd readily take in the red and blue. Would definitely assist in correcting some deficiencies we have. But I haven't seen us linked with him at all anywhere, apart from a dodgy 'X' post from an unvalidated 'trade' page (and I use that term very loosely).

Educated guess, but I would suspect the softcap has a lot to do with it given we've paid out Goodwin. I'm unsure how lateral movements factor in though, with regard to softcap TEPs.

Yeah, I'm thinking that the writing on the wall r.e Voss forced their hand to move now, as opposed to end of season. I agree, three weeks can be huge in getting the ball rolling with recruitment, although it's likely there are already some identified targets.

I can't speak to the reasoning. Educated guess but potentially linked to the softcap? Either way, we'll have a new Football Department head ('GM of Football Performance'?)

Richardson is out but will still be at the club.

I'd suspect it'll be presented as "After discussions, Simon agreed it was best to move on immediately, so the club and staff can best prepare for the upcoming offseason..."

Definitely laughing way too hard at this, well played.

The writing on the wall has been there since the end of 2022. I'd argue the W/L column of 22 - 23 plastered over the cracks; the results are there in 24 - 25 r.e Goodwin. It is an undignified exit for him though, but it's well and truly past the time to move on from him.

Should we now be expecting a signing in light of the Goodwin news? Telling, if so.

I would suspect the next candidate has likely been identified, though of course there will be due diligence. I suspect the timing of this is to make an immediate move and get the new coach in ASAP in order to assist with delisting's, trade, free agency and the like. It will be telling if McVee's signature is announced in light of this.

Probably need to do a welfare check on several posters.

Posted in 'The List Manager' thread, but probably more relevant here. Geelong have tabled a four year offer to Worpel, matching the existing Hawthorn offer - as per Jay Clark's reporting.

Didn’t see this before I replied above, but you’ve nailed it.

No, it has to do with the three teams you’ve mentioned. Richmond, North and West Coast.

Nah, but if Straight Set Simon is at the club he’ll be another quality player who’ll sit at Casey for the duration of his contract and never get a game.

Very happy for him and glad to see something different this week.

Yes, it's all a media PSYOP.

Wait, we can downvote people?!

KW has been invited to the State-based draft combine.

Review the review, I like it! Potentially one of the most public service things I've ever heard

Hey mate, welcome. I wouldn’t even bother with this poster. They’ve responded to my posts recently, and when I respond back they basically dismissed everything I said in four or five words, didn’t provide any counter or discussion and essentially, deduced reasonable debate and discussion to ‘I don’t need to provide reasoning, I don’t agree’. It’s beyond arrogant and frankly pretty baffling you’d join a football forum and then not want to engage in reasonable discussion and debate.
