My father used to tell me that thoroughbreds get injured the slow ones run around ok for years.

You cannot develop players who don't have the necessary talent in the first place. The majority of draftees don't make it past three years. Sadly we seem to get more than our fair share. Baker has really not shown a lot at VFL level, I have seen him in a number games. He does not have the speed / endurance to be a top level winger.

It was always about being tone deaf, finally the penny dropped!

The problem is fd that the forward line will not change much for the first game or the first few sadly. Yesterdays forward line will struggle to kick a winning score against every team. I am praying that both the browns will be back soon or our year will be over by June.

Then why play a guy on him who cannot tackle?

He probably was picket, it says more about the players ability than the instructions from the bench.

Agree but he has had 34 games for an average of 6 kicks per game, 2.4 tackles 0.7 goals. His long kicks struggle to make 40 metres I think the writing is on the wall, surely by now almost anyone is worth investing a few games to see if they can do better.

How does he continually get games?

If we are not competitive for the first 5-6 weeks that is the end of Goodwin.

And it is a postage stamp have people ever been there?

Spot on cards, it has been discussed before.

At the risk of being boring it ain't near the G.

It's not big enough the playing area i.e. and no room for development. And just to top it off the council does not want us there.

And not removable.

Why is Essendon not working? The reality is even if there was a good one at Caufield it would not get a look in. The location is cast in concrete.

Fine Dubdee was just suggesting it could be horrible. Actually think we will win both.

The current board will never accept any location that is not close to the G. It does not matter where a alternative might be.

Small joke JTR. Enjoy while you can. Sadly TV for me.

According to our chief the next announcment will be from the government. That could be tomorrow or never. My guess is just before the next election. It would appear that right now the facilities are better at Casey than Goschs. To start with there is a full size ground in very good condition at Casey. Not so in the case of Goschs. Stay at Casey until the city venue is available in 2023 or whenever.

If we lose both it might be sad Monday.

I would be loath to leave Casey if that happened. Not sure which is the better option in the medium term dc

I was talking about the bombers DC. As I have said on the past I don't care where they train as long it is first class. What happens after training at Casey if we have a good year? Does that mean training at Casey is better than in the city?

AGM was a fair way down the track.

Correct, go or pay no freebies now.

Not sure that is the case with the bombers. 15 minute drive for them
