I agree with a lot of what you have to say but don't blame too many players. The coaching has to take most of the heat as they are the ones in command. Does Goodwin know before the game how bad we are going to be on the day? Does he sense the mood? Does he get them up for the challenge? What does he do when they realise we have not come prepared? Does he have another strategy when the current one is failing badly?

Toby Greene? Are you serious? He would be sitting at the same table as dipper and all the other thugs!

Yes. I heard him commentating on a game the other night in Adelaide!

Simon says.........I don't know.

I am sorry, I have been away for awhile. How many flags that we haven't had, and how many flags has that guy delivered, since our stupid club decided it was time to sack the guy that gave us 6 in 10 years? Einstein

No tank you.

Can we leave Goodwin, Mahoney, Pert, and Richardson out of the hub and replace them with Watts, Kent, Martin, Frost, and Hogan?

Apparently Harley kicked 4 goals from 20+ possessions last week in a scratch match, yet they can't find a place for him. Most people know his history of injuries, we are told that it looks like his leg is right. So why not play him? In his first game he made a reasonsble contribution. If we had him in against Geelong he might have been the difference. We need our best players on the park, and if everyone is fit and available, I reckon we would have him in the best 22. Everytime!

I forgot Goodwin to go to.

In: The Hawthorn side including their coach and except Frawley and Scully. Out: Mahoney, Pert, Richardson, Stretch, JKH, ANB.

I know we are suffering and have endured so much after the deplorable decisions of sacking Norm Smith, the most greatest coach. Committees make mistakes that contnue today. Why sign a coach before the season starts, for three more years, after such a disastrous loss. If he knew his worth and was committed, he would have stayed. If the circumstances were, we were on the verge of winning a flag, do you think he would say I am the sole reason we are good? Do you think he would leave us? Think about it? Is a coach going to leave a winning team?

Wasn't Mahoney involved in getting rid of Jack Watts?

Why? They didn't finish the job! Our club, our football team, the team we love so much, the team who has not won a premiership since 1964, is enough reason for this to be so important. This game was born in Melbourne, we are one of the pioneers of the sport, this sport we treat as a religion. Paul and Peter, you will have let us down badly, if we are not in a better position than when you left us, and sadly, at this time this is how it is.

According to Jon Ralph on Fox Footy, Paul Roos is prepared to take on a role at Carlton! Why doesn't he come back and finish his job at Melbourne?

I know we are only playing with 14 players on the ground each week and it's a credit to those 14 to get the ball in so often, but, who are our forwards coaches because we don't seem to have any plan, system or confidence when it's in the 50 arc!

Simon, Please leave your best players on the ground for as much time as possible. They want that too. Use the interchange for your average or developing players in building the team. Ask any great player if he wants to spend time on the bench. Sure bet he says no!

Delisting?

Can anyone tell me how Oskar Baker is going down at Casey? I looked at his highlight reels when he was recruited to the Dees and I thought he was a certainty for the opening game of 2018, yet in this losing side of 2019 his name is never mentioned! From what I saw he looks like he has a lot of talent.

How are you feeling now about that comment?

We lose the opening 3 matches, they can only come up with two changes to the side, and one was forced?

Please, no more mention of Sretch coming in. Agree with Bullen getting the bullet along with Oscar. There is another Oscar who hasn't been given a go. Thought he looked good when recruited back in 2017.

1 + 2 = 3 when I went to school.

Goodwin has a very smart manager, getting him a three year contract before we have played a game this year, and coming directly off our worst loss from 2018. Very clever. We couldn't have waited until round 10 to see if he was worth continuing with?
