I don't know why Roffey had to fall on her own sword when it's Goodwin that should have. The club has had a million and one controversies and Goodwin hasn't taken responsibility for any of it. If we hadn't won a premiership he'd be gone. Another year like this and he has to go.

🤣

Yeah, that fact rather undermines the let's sack Goody crew.

Yep, hope we go for Riak with a later pick.

We sniffed around Merrett a few years ago.

If he was at all gettable, why wouldn't we do the same to Merrett now?

Where is Owies going? He'd be handy.

Matthew Kennedy would be a good get for the club but I suspect the Blues will want us to pay too high a price.

As @Nascent says, they can't tell him to explore his options and then demand a particularly high price.

He didn't play.

Was it in pre season then? Didn't he kick 4 goals against us?

Would definitely fit the bill if we’re looking for experienced midfield depth 

I actually really rate Kennedy so wouldn’t mind it at all if he came for a later pick or two

He killed us in (was it?) 2020 in an empty Marvel stadium. 

I've never had Lamb in the gun, although I will revert to those within the FD that might know better.

I wouldn't mind pursuing Wright as head of footy or CEO, but sounds like he's already locked and loaded at Tassie.

I'm tipping that Todd Patterson will be promoted replace Tim Lamb after the trade period is finished. 

Taking the P or real? And why after trade period?

And can you please include a riddle with your post.

I'd have Riak Andrew and Ricky Mentha over Yze for this spot.

Or just take them both late in the ND.

I agree 

I think list decisions have a lot to answer for

to what extent does Goodwin and coaching get involved in list management (trading in particular)? Genuine question

It also depends what is available and willing to move on the market...

We were a ‘franchise operated by the AFL’ at the end of 2013…

Most on here look back fondly on the time of Peter Jackson and the ‘AFL approved’ board. 

We have the necessary mechanisms to remove an admin that is wholly incompetent or corrupt but save for that - the board should replenish itself and get on with it in conjunction with what the head office wants to see.

Thats my view, it’s also current reality.

Ironically, things have gone downhill since the AFL handed back the reigns...

Looks like he could eventually go through the midfield to me.

I'd love 4 or 5 picks in the top 40 this year.

Guys like Jack Whitlock who may slide or his brother.

Hannaford to add to Kozzy, Spargo and Chandler.

Lalor or Langford to Oliver, Viney and Petracca. Hynes too.

Yes, sure.

But we are a slow team. Langdon aside. Bailey Smith fits our needs. I still think he makes us significantly better.

I'd like more speed, but I don't think we're as slow as say Brisbane.

Add AMW, Windsor, McVee, Chandler, Lingers to each line, I wouldn't say we're slow.

Speed of ball movement is more important. Think the MFC 2018.

I'm happy to see Goodwin continue but with a revamped FD (the review could lead to such a situation) 

But Simon needs to re-jig our game style.  Nothing too dramatic but what is noticeable watching the finals, is how different the other teams game plans are

The use of the corridor in particular and the play-on in an immediate sense from marks, frees & stoppages

Leg speed and fast ball movement leads to players further afield finding space to receive.  Or backing in a teammate in a one-on-one

There are times to slow the game down a la what the Giants didn't do, but our game plan often centres around slowing the game down (too much)

These were all features of Goody 2017-2018.

I hope we revert to this style too, but with an emphasis maintained on forward half territory and stoppage, with forward half intercept.

fun fact, in 2018 he posted an instagram story of Trac crying in the rooms post Geelong game at GMHBA. swiftly deleted

How would he have gotten a video inside our rooms?

We are losing our only runner and we are already slow. He instantly makes us better.

 

We have a bloke called Ed Langdon who is the best runner in the comp...

jack steven was a former aints skipper who had a slew of off-field issues, including being stabbed in the chest shortly after the trade to the puddy tatts was completed

he didn't even complete a full season down in sleepy hollow and retired at the end of his first season with a year to go on his contract

😳

Would his brother be worth nabbing around that mark Adam?

Jack appears more developed to me. But I would have thought it's likely both Whitlock's go in the top 30.

Really feel for Yze

I dunno. It kind of gives Richmond heaps of picks and Yze doesn't have to be the bad guy by retiring club champions.

That is close to correct, just the opening sentence up to the comma is incorrect every other part is how it transpired. 

If I'd written an in principle agreement prior to the pick being inside the top 10, I'd be closer, correct?

My thoughts on this are that the media, and AFL HQ would like an EPL style setup with a few Vic and interstate superclubs playing in front of 150,000 and other clubs being like Luton Town.

That doesn't seem like a good commercial result for the AFL.

He was still on crutches in the last few rounds, surely he’s a long way off?

Think he needed surgery later in the year. I presume he'll be alright for pre season and why they put him in for surgery when they did.

Got enough problems of our own.

I still have hopes for Spargo.

Criminally underrated around these parts.
