With a minute left why did Rivers bomb it long into forward line when 2 small forwards made leads for short kick into 50 metre area? The long bomb into forward line didn’t work in last 2 years of finals and must eradicated from Goodwin’s training manual. Insanity at work

Goody and his game plan have gone past his use by date. Era is over

Our main issue seems to be shocking conversion rate of our inside 50s. We should have iced many of our losses by half time if we had kicked straight for easy set shot goals.

if Trac wins us a Flag I will agree but atm Flower is way ahead of him

We were Crosswell's Third club after Carlton and North Melbourne!

Couldn’t even get steak knives for OMac!

There is no sign of Glen Bartlett because he is out the back in his shed sharpening his axe

Coach - got to go

Rose coloured glasses! Super optimist! Have you put your money where your mouth is?

Tomlinson going forward would be a bust as his kicking for goal is worse than any of other forwards. Bring back a forward coach and a kicking coach.

Gil has stated on radio this morning that bench is limited to 4 as per last year.

Saty, Jared Rivers was the forward line coach which surprised me as he was always a defender when played at Melbourne. I suppose that is why Shaw decided he was excess to requirements.

Oscar is a worry dropping chest marks

I thought Frost should have been tried on a wing - we were crying out for outside pace last year and it was there - just not in the coach's head.

HS paywall!!

Viney is on AVB's left - in the right of screen:)

Headline on Herald-Sun site. I don't have access to the article - behind paywall!

SK - I reckon Salem will get to 200 games. Otherwise i agree with your post.

Earl lost about $200K in a sports store in Malvern Central. MFC was skint and offered Earl $40K so he saw Ian Collins at Carlton. He asked “How much do you need” and wrote out a cheque for $200K - problem solved!

You can add Petracca to that list.

The issue is that we don't seem to have a system of play that stands up in all conditions. Other clubs have systems of play that seem to cope no matter how many injured players they have because the soldiers coming up from their VFL club plays the same system and does a reasonable job when required. Helter skelter football does not stand up in finals - the coaching staff need to develop a game plan/style that will work and indoctrinate the whole list to play it. Not sure Goody is the guy to do that?

Play Fritch on wing or half-forward to replace Hannan, he's a much better kick and can mark. Hibberd will go in defence.

We were out coached in last quarter. WCE blocked up the centre lane so our ball use became stagnant. I am not sure Godwin is capable of changing from plan A if it doesn’t work. That makes us too easy to play against.

We might have to try Frost on a wing to fit Salem into the back 6.
