Nup. It was a basket case when he left. Bevo came in and bingo. Adam Simpson won a flag using Clarkos teachings as well. Bolton not so lucky...

He left in October 2014, 2 yrs before the flag and the place was a basket case. Lost their captain and one of their best players, their coach, the CEO left..and others. Great foundations Try not to rewrite history...

"I believe"..... Enough said

ANB would quiver in his boots. He's already the most nervous player we have.

This is where it starts to break down. We win the ball and we are tackled, they win the ball and they are away. We need to contest smartly

Goodwin seems to me the type that wants to play 'our brand' regardless of the opposition or the location or the team that we select. It's unbelievable arrogance. I get having certain team traits such as contested footy and tackling but it is stupid to have one way to play regardless of the circumstances. And particularly when its not working in a game

We know how that has previously worked out. We seem to have 4 or 5 line in the sand games a season.

And of course you know that. Mind reading part of your schtick? Of course he said it.

When Misson came on board the medical staff left because he had the final say on who played or not. What do you know that has changed? Just facts, that's all I want.

Regardless they haven't learned anything it would seem...

Yeah but Goody didn't deem the PF worthy of watching. Its clear other teams watched it though. Pretty obvious how to beat Melbourne.

He had a good 6 week period.

We are stuck with ths lot. There isn't much at Casey. They need to dig themselves out of it. I say Goodwin has to swallow his game plan pride and make big changes to that. Control the ball. Be less manic. Defend further back. Always have a sweeper defender. Always have a crumber at the foot of Pruess. Create more space in our fwd line. And the key? Make our lazy mids run both ways.

Have we reviewed the Perth final yet? Seems like we didn't learn anything then and we are still being beaten the same way....

So from qtr time up to 3.4 time they had 24 i50s for 8 goals, we had 21 i50s for 1 goal. Game over. Same [censored] different day. Too many players at the contest, not sticking tackles, defending too far up the ground, running at the player with the ball and allowing the 'chinese checker' over the top handball time and time again, allowing the switch kick repeatedly, dumb handballs to players in trouble, terrible marking, no fwd 50 crumbers, Jones and Lewis on the wings - FMD, bombing the ball pn Pruess' head with no crumbers and finally a pathetically lazy one-way midfield that allowed the Aints to transition the ball out of defence and into their fwd 50 at will. TMac - WTF has happened to this guy? Weid? - totally ineffective, Spargo? - may as well not have played, Hibberd and Jetta? - shadows of their former selves, Jones and Lewis? - it's time. Melksham? - lazy footballer who won't chase and WTF has happened to his kicking? Called it when he was 35m out that he wouldn't make the distance and bingo. Petracca? tried but is the most frustrating footballer on the planet. Keep it simple stupid. As for the coaching staff... did absolutely nothing during the game. refused to stop the switch, pick up players/play man on man. No freaking idea. Jones and Lewis on the wings did my head in. Goodwin has no idea. Stubborn, We get beaten the same way by inferior teams who control the football and run. So [censored] obvious. My advice Simon go watch the Preliminary final you arrogant [censored], watch the game against Essendon and last year's against the Hawks in H&A and against the Swans. We can see it here why can't you?

this. I was laughing myself watching this. As were a few dozen people around me.

Well they will be up against speed Demon Oscar.....

You should take off your rose coloured glasses. You have been a joke on this player. Totally blind to his obvious weaknesses.

This was comedy gold.

This

But Mrs MacDonald (aka @binman) told us that Oscar would never be dropped again.....

I think we are developing still. We made a prelim but so what. We can't yet put weaker sides away regularly. That will come. I am not buying the flag favourite tag, that's complete BS. We could move on pretty rapidly though and I get your point about having a Hodge or Lewis when we get there.

This post is quite unbelievable. Are you really happy that we had a player that got to the right spots but was outplayed? Cmon this is AFL football - a professional sport. You have to be good at something. They all have flaws. We will never have a team of 22 guns. It doesn't work that way. But you must have players with some decent attributes. Frost is a flawed player but he has some terrific attributes. Do they outweigh his flaws? It depends. He did a pretty good job on Buddy again. But OMac doesn't seem to have any key attributes. Zac Dawson is a better player than OMac - he was a terrible footballer but at least he could nullify players. BTW its not OMacs fault. He is what he is. But he shouldn't be learning his craft in the seniors. I have always said I doubt he will make it because he doesn't have any key attributes. I hope I am wrong. We need 22 good players every week.

Gamestyle? OMac has a gamestyle? What is it exactly because I see a tall guy that is slow, with no physical presence, a poor reader of the play, often outpositioned, a poor contested mark, a poor intercept mark and one with no urgency about him at all. Needs a lot of time at Casey but I doubt he can pick up thise skills. Other than that he is great. So what is his 'gamestyle'? What are his outstanding attributes as a player?

I doubt he said that and it doesn't make sense seeing as he is a full forward. In any case he is highly unlikely to throw the toys out of the pram when his brother has been dropped for being poor. If it was the case they both should go. That would be a pathetic response from a professional athlete.
