  1. Exactly, you would think the supporters didn't learn anything from the 2007-2013 era

    You're right, perhaps we should offer Goodwin an extension 🤦
  3. Was Jones the best person for the job? Or did we have our red and blue goggles on again?
  4. He is still our best player and the only one with the ability to break games open. He is 30 but no reason he will fall off a cliff or that he can't go to the end of his contract (at least). Giving him away for nothing to the Pies would be idiotic.
  5. Paying our best/most damaging player to leave and getting peanuts in return.
  6. Rebuild yes but not tearing the place down. If we lose any 2 of Petracca, Oliver or Kozzie we will be cooked for a long period of time. We need to cull the middle rung of players for picks and get rid of the dead weight anchoring the bottom quarter/third of the list (we all know who they are). Kozzie is still young, we can't afford to lose him. Petracca is damaging and can win games off his own boot. Oliver is an accumulator who no longer damages as he once did and doesn't hit the scoreboard, he would be the only one of the 3 I'd be happy to lose. We probably should have let Viney walk to the Kangas last year, big mistake in hindsight.

    Staying the obvious here but Burgess was such a huge loss, he was as responsible as anyone for our 2021 season.
  8. Why is he talking about premiership windows and flags? Their sole focus should be winning next Friday, this is exactly what I was talking about earlier. Do the little things right and the big things will look after themselves, the club still has this culture problem where we think we have an entitlement to success instead of working hard for it. They sound like [censored] when they trot out this stuff.
  9. Out: Howes, Lindsay, Fritsch, Billings, Henderson, Sharp, Salem In: Lever, Pickett, Turner, Windsor
  10. We also kicked a bunch of opportunistic goals from the goal square/goal line.
  11. Garbage, we were minor premiers and they didn't finish top 4. Outscored them 100-7 from midway thru the 3rd, dunno how you claim we "stole" it, that's just insulting.
  12. If so that's an extremely weak mindset. Both Cats and Pies could've thought they'd missed their windows after 2021 and look what happened. I feel like our club (supporters and club) is always looking too big picture instead of just worrying about what's in front of them. Forget about dynasties, windows, flags, finals etc etc just worry about winning the next game!
  13. 112 point turnaround from round 23 last year
  14. He has the tools but needs someone to coach him! He is our #1 key forward now so it is easy to defend against him when he is still playing on talent alone. We will kill his career through coaching and development neglect just like the many who have come before him.
  15. Amazing how easy the game looks when you put the ball to your teammates advantage.
