DEE fence

Don't know, his best is epic, by the by Deemonstrative has the best idea so far. If he passed an exhaustive medical and the desire was real and not looking for a pension maybe. He can be the trouble shooter that Brayshaw was, who was never quick but had positional awareness. Is an elite problem solver.

Actually think this is a good idea to quieten some of the chicken littles. I'm backing Oliver and Petracca to play at Melbourne next year, I'll even give odds if anyones wants to back against it. Reminds me of the Melks/May shenanigans, lots were fearing the worst, but clearly the club and players moved past it.

So heart broken by this. I first met ANB more than 10ish years ago and thought he was a fine young man, he's only got better. And for me he was one of the reasons I have never paid attention to the culture critics, because we do have good people at the club like him. While I believe this is not an example of the clubs' 'direction', he is certainly part of the fabric of the club that made it strong again. Easy to get another role player, not so easy to find a phenomenal standard setter. For me he was the new Daniel Cross and went on to surpass Crossy. I think we will feel this the way we felt the loss of Brayshaw.

Tom Morris you lurking troll, you are a proper Cee U Next Tuesday. If he is a member, then I'd pay for the club to cancel his membership. I always thought chicken little was a fairy tale, I see now it's a parable. Club is not going anywhere, Tracc is not going anywhere, but change is coming, hot tip, won't be the coach either. Tall poppy syndrome is alive and well. 2021 we were it, media been trying to cut us down ever since and too many peahearts believe every bad thing said.

Thank you, where have you been? Healthy debate, posting alternative opinions without being insulting to the coach and the team. Some stuff I agree with, some not, some ideas with a different perspective. Really some others could take a clue from your etiquette. BTW for those that reckon I or those like me are clueless fan people who love the coach no matter what, you are being insulting and you lack basic comprehension skills. I am always looking for evidence, in everything that has happened I see a coach that has tried stuff, some stuff works some doesn’t. Obviously things aren’t perfect and some things need to change, but on the evidence available I think Goodwin has the ability and the credits to drive that change and improvement. Ipso facto he is the man.

I rate what you have to say from your little chats with the players, way more than any clown in the media. Thank you.

Just the title on the other thread makes me nauseous. Goodwin has delivered a period of sustained success. No real evidence of disharmony at the club. His career tracks alot like Luke Beveridge, sustained criticism from a 30/20 hindsight POV. No appreciation for the fine margins and luck involved by those calling for his head. Anyone would think he is Neeld 2.0 Has done an amazing job of blooding new talent. Has made the occasional blue with selection, and perhaps could have been more ruthless regenerating the side after '21., but hard not to support the list that delivered a flag. His method has been consistently good, if the team had executed better we would have played in the last two prelims. They don't hand out top 4 spots in a packet of corn flakes. And I'm sorry that 17 other clubs don't lay down and give up their generational talent. Be real, the Max replacement is never going to be satisfying, deal with it.

Sadly gave a few points away with errors, but not far off

The Levi sisters are a playstation cheat code, butchering the Irish, will need a mercy rule.

Mollie and Arnie 1,2, huge performance from both, so calm under pressure, would make good fwds for our AFLW team.

Only good thing about being in Somalia (apart from getting paid) is the time zone is very Olympics friendly. Loving the Women’s 7s thought the men were pretty special too, so ripped off with that French Ref, not a knock on and definitely a fwd pass by the boks. Hockey I feel like not being favorites suits us, we always cooked it when we were red hot faves.

Running back with the flight of the ball, so bloody brave. Never ever will I move on, if Maynard had owned it and apologized then maybe, but the victim blaming and BS about what he could have done, was next level garbage.

Lady Luck is a cruel mistress too. Re whether Bevo is loved or not, feels like he had a few scallywags to deal with, whereas Melbourne's better players seem like strong culture setters. Out of interest who are your examples? Barassi/Mathews? I loathed Malthouse but people who were inside said he was the Horse whisperer at Collingwood when it came to dealing with players. I still feel like he was part of a Collingwood plot to make Carlton bad. Tommy Hafey didn't get the Pies over the line but jeez they were up for a long time, he wasn't popular in the club with players.

Oliver Viney ANB - why no love? Langdon May Rivers - went missing after a blistering 1st qtr. Apologies - McVee

Beveridge must be sitting back laughing at all the arm chair critics, he's had a plan and stuck to it despite an unbelievable amount of noise. Feels like Goodwin's career parallels his, wins a flag, receives constant sniping despite being the Dog's most successful coach just like Goodwin has been since Smith. Kudos to him, he dropped the blokes who didn't want to stick with the plan, has come up with a solid defense and now they look ace. Lobb and Jones are looking like Lever and May. If we don't win am more than happy for the Dogs to win and stick it up every media critic who have had Bevo in their sights. Carlton are defensive phonies. Freo and Brisbane look dangerous, Swans have got speed wobbles but not jumping off them. Not sure what when wrong with North, don't respect Stewart at your peril.

Imagine a world where Carlton Collingwood and Essendon are out of the 8, make the dream real, just a pity the Cats are on their 13th bloody life.

Still no sympathy for druggies, will be a lot of resultists after today, Scott will be ask8ng for his AFL job back.

I’m thinking in terms of the rest of the season, quite frankly we need to win the next 4 games, incl GC away which will be tough. I like the idea of Carlton not having a home final.

I don’t see Port winning as a disaster for us, great seeing Carlton fall over, I would describe Port as the SA equivalent of Carlton, mirror image of promise much deliver little.

I am not joking when I say tougher than Matthews, and 5 times a better human. When I was a little kid I was sad Leigh didn't play for us, even though I adored Robbie, I wanted that tough and hard player that was feared. Now I say I prefer Jack in every respect.

Would help if they published his weight so everyone on the site like me could give a considered medical opinion. But seriously if I had to bet I would put a months salary on he's done for the year.

I think it's unlikely don't get me wrong, maybe 1/10 not 0/10 but not fairytale either. However as you point out two lots of anaesthesia can be the hardest thing to work through depending on how you react. On tje other hand may e I've been watching too many action hero movies.

Why? Serious question, if we do well over the next 5 games and were top 4, you don’t think they’d be some some discussions amongst coach and player. If he is doing any running in August AND we are playing well, the drums will start to beat.

Much easier to see Tom Morris going somewhere else than Clarry. Getting trolled by mates about this my comment was: [18/7, 11:28 am] Mark: You're seriously trolling me with some [censored] from Morris and Cornes, they're not even muppets, they make as much sense as teletubbies [18/7, 12:19 pm] Mark: And these teletubbies are even less correct than a stopped clock.
