old dee

I would give him the job.

I was having a small joke. He is coaching the last three games

Troy Chaplin.

Sounds correct LH.

Sadly the Women's team can forget about getting a lot of coverage with the men's team ending in 3 weeks time. They will be drowned out!

Something is amiss in this! why not a single word from the club?

I thought we would get a big loss against the dogs on Sunday after watch the form of both teams over the last month. However after this event I reckon a 5 goal loss.

Its a pity we cannot get Yze back!

I think Carlton over estimate a lot of their players abilities. I have watched probably more Carlton games ( well parts of games ) than any other team. In every one of these games they have simply been beaten by players with greater ability. The main problem is not the coach it is the cattle.

Have you thought that they may have given him one last Saturday!

That pretty much covers it Jnr.

Very difficult to keep something like this under wraps.

I wonder about how much the angst of players towards Goodwin has played in this decision. Clearly Petracca was unhappy at the end of 2024 and there have been rumors about Lever etc. Did the board see a player revolt in the making and acted to stem the flow? I suspect the the time table changed at that Monday board meeting after the Saints game. Did Smith and the new CEO attend? Where they involved in last night? It is hard to see the board making this decision without them on board, whatever happens from here will be at the least interesting.

Love it bluey!

I think we need a new supplementary podcast this week. What do you think guys?

LH i suggest there was a plan to do as you suggest but someone in the decision process leaked to the press. Was the new CEO and President involved?

After the St Kilda disaster and Simon came out with that silly thing about some good things in the last 4 minutes my mind went Simon" I think you just ended your career at the MFC". Why now? Perhaps there were things going on with players seeing their futures elsewhere. What we thought about rumors of Lever and North might actually be true. Perhaps there were others!

In those games they did have some of there better players on the field who were missing yesterday. They only thing you can take from Saturday's game is we won. Anything else has to tempered by our openents or lack there of.

Nasher I have been a Dees supporter since 1960, 65 years ! I am used to watching games that were over at quarter time. Decades of them have never affected me like that Saints game. My big love is now watching my Granddaughter's play basketball. They give me way more than the MFC.

Every year I tune into early games in the season to see if my decades long addiction to the MFC with stretch to the womans game ( have I got that right I usually suffer the embarrassment of using the wrong term). For many years the standard of a lot of teams was poor and the games terrible to watch meaning I seldom watch more than half a game. The overall standard has improved, however I have still struggled to be interested compared to other sports that start in Spring. This year I have the added problem of being witness to the collapse of the men's team into irrelance and after the St Kilda game I doubt I will ever trust the men's team again. I hope this year turns the corner for me. So ladies give me something to smile about in 2025 footy.

After 8 days ago Nasher I wonder will I ever trust the MFC to play 4 quarters again. I will go on Sunday as it will be my last game chance for 2025 which is against what I said last Monday. it is to concentrate on 3- 4 players who I hope will be our future.

Sadly BB I think the only left to decide is the winning margin. Dogs by 7 goals 2 behinds. I cannot see our Forward line with the key forwards of JVR and Petty kicking a winning score. Fritz, milkshake and Kossy will need to kick 4 each to give us a chance. It's no big surprise but their forwards will slaughter us. It might be a wild thought but next Sunday how about we play Petty in the backline. Yes a wild thought forget I mentioned it. PS predictive script! If I wanted to type Kissy I would have typed Kissy on the first try, after the 3rd try it finally got the message.

$1.05 I reckon Wrecker.

Stop looking, it is the new name for the Unley oval where Sturt plays in the SANFL.

Ox you are shooting the messenger. Her article is spot on. We have been led terribly by our board over the last 2 years. How on earth do you appoint a ceo with no football management experience who cannot start for 6 months?
