Take a look at all the re-signings and they wouldn't be re-signing if they didn't believe in Goody and get on with him. Doesn't mean Goody can't get better though.

I agree, we need changes, but not the coach.

We won't be trading pick 5. Take it to the bank. We may well go for Daniel, and he might be handy for us. But I'm thinking more about mids and forwards that can improve our stoppage and forward half work. That said, Daniel could improve our stoppage work as well. I think the template should be a mixture of Port's 2018 draft where they brought in 3 talented youngsters, and then I also think we can use some older guys like Daniel and Wright. Day would be a disaster and not make sense for our list at all, but I get you're being facetious.

What are you talking about? He attracted Lever, May and Langdon, who were all vital pieces to the premiership puzzle. TPP then can become a problem when you win a flag.

Harvey Langford Cooper Hynes Peter Wright James Peatling or another top 30 draftee.

I remember being down at Geelong for his break out game. It's incredible to think how far he has come and how much he has grown as a leader. Well done, big man.

Completely agree mate. And we need to do it quick-smart.

This resentment and hatred works wonders for Collingwood though, so we need to harness it. Ensure our football club is the best it can be, and use the us versus them mentality to drive ourselves back up the ladder, and we know because we've done it with this playing group before, that we can do it. The cliche nothing is as bad as it seems is apt.

Rennick is getting on his dragon, House of the Dragon style...

Completely agree @Macca. We have a raft of senior and emerging players that can carry us forward. With pick 5, we can get a very good player for our midfield. If we can leverage our future 1st into another first rounder this year, there's a chance we get two top 20 picks, so two young mids to add to the emerging core. If Trac and Koz go we'll be able to have multiple bites of the cherry this year with JT and feed these guys into Chocco's development program. If we get the off field stuff right, we can reset the list prior to Tassie muddying the draft and remain competitive over the next 2 or so years, before we can absolutely attack a flag.

I did the same haha although I deliberately don't make a habit of facepalming.

A lot of those facepalmers look ridiculous now. Welcome back, @Mach5

OP is Morris.

They also need to desperately rebuild quickly before Tassie. We just need one or two good years to re-set our list profile.

The thing about Smillie is his kicking to advantage. It's very noticeable. Contrast that with our mids and half forwards, he'd fit in nicely. I'd like 2 or 3 picks in the top 15 this year, there's so much scope in this crop. I'll trust JT though.

So did I and completely agree mate.

Selwyn is the injury specialist, Burgess is the fitness specialist. Ideally we have both, but I doubt Selwyn would stay if Burgess came back. We absolutely need a new fitness specialist as our fitness was patently not good enough.

it's still hyperbolic. The club will still be here... This is disastrous if true though.

The software does not have the ability to give you feedback on what words or phrases are banned. You simply have to use your discretion. This has been pretty clear all year on Demonland and poor old Andy is repeatedly having to respond to these types of questions.

I disagree. Many people on Demonland seem to want change. It's pretty clear on and off the field we need change. I don't trust the club to do an unbiased internal review. We need a top down external review.

Disagree. Third or fourth most successful coach in our history and will have us back up there again very soon.

Not sure I agree with this... You don't make exceptions for one person. One of his alleged gripes is apparently that we make exceptions for some when we shouldn't. The idea that the club will fold if Trac leaves is just hyperbole. I presume this was written in an emotional moment.

He's not going to Richmond.

I reckon Langford is already that player though. He gives us ball use, whilst still being able to win his own ball and take a contested mark.

Surely it's either an idle threat from Trac's end or merely journalistic licence from a footy media faced by a week of no footy, pre finals...
