You forgot draft picks ?

What are the ramifications for the FD if we don't play finals this year considering the 4 year strategy unveiled at the AGM was to play finals every year from 2020-2023? If a decision had to be made on Goodwin would the club be able to pay him out considering he is contracted to end of 2022? What are the implications for the board who approved Goodwin's contract extension if we are hamstrung by that contract? When will we hear any concrete announcements regarding a home base? Timeframes? What revenue streams are we going to rely on to make up the lost revenue after we exit from the pokies? What other revenue streams are the board working on to make up the shortfall in revenue in 2020? Have the AFL confirmed we will be hosting Anzac Eve and Queens Birthday next year? That's a start

Didn't Polec leave Brisbane to go home to SA? Money talks

We will play them into form you can count on that

Salem needs to play forward. He is not a defender, he is an attacking skillful player. He is not a line breaking half back, he has good goal sense and can deliver the ball inside 50 if we play him across half forward where he belongs. If he ever gets a run at it and can build a tank he could be our outside mid we're crying out for.

I thought everything was ****house today the effort, intensity, system, execution I've given the team and Goodwin time but I am losing patience, that was deplorable. The gameplan needs a severe overhaul and the players need to learn to play with intensity I don't think I could name one player who played well today. Geelong weren't much better which makes it all the more grating. We had an opportunity today and we blew it. Those who think Goodwin will be sacked are dreaming. No way we can afford to pay him out plus sign a new coach. We're stuck with him til end of 2021 at the earliest.

Have they thought about how this would work if one team is impacted twice (or more)??

And then a 4 day turnaround for our game against the Cats?

He is unable to put his bias aside when talking about Essendon he might as well be wearing his Terry daniher duffel coat What is more of a disgrace is Whately not pulling him up on it

As Riewoldt said on the couch the slight benefit you might get from the synergy of line groups playing together is completely offset by the massive risk if one of them is wiped out for 2 games. It really is idiotic to have all forwards, mids and backs training together in the current environment

Imagine our midfield group had to miss two weeks because one of them tested positive. 186 would be in danger of being broken.

Carlton and Collingwood are likely going to benefit while we are disadvantaged.

No public comment perpetuates the stereotype that we are a soft touch, a club that just gets pushed around by other clubs and the AFL. We have been severely disadvantages through no fault of our own, I would be wanting answers from the AFL as to how they propose to mitigate this and put it out for the public so they are held accountable for it

God no

Was it May? I thought it was lever but found it hard to tell.

Melksham and VDB need to be our links across half forward. They are both marking targets that help with the "connection" between midfield and forwardline and we missed them both last year.

But then we'd still be playing OMac and/or Frost so it's understandable why they did it. Not the right move long term but they obviously thought we were close to a flag after finishing top 4. We got Jackson the year after though so hopefully it all works out.... King looks like a star though (the gold coast one) Throw the chequebook at Cameron. I don't know who else is available but we need someone.

Yes

TMac and Weid MIA

Where is the leadership of the club on this? It's all well and good for Max to give a couple of words after the scratch match but I think it's time we started hearing from Bartlett/Pert more than once every 3 months.

It's like carpet out there. Surely we could train on it one day a week with one session at Casey and our lighter session at Gosch's.

I'm generally pretty optimistic I think, or at least willing to give the team time to prove themselves before writing them off. But if TMac doesnt find some form soon we are rooted. You can talk about gameplans and plan B's all you want but if you don't have a key forward you're going nowhere.

1916 Fitzroy won the spoon and the flag in a 4 team competition.

Bartel wasn't it?

Their blatant bias in decision making makes them seem like such a provincial backwater league. Absolute Farce League.
