not guilty your honour 😇

What five words did you choose to describe the club in the membership survey? wasted-generational-list communications-binfire

Was thinking the same thing myself!. Peas in a pod, those two. Either would make a huge difference to this bin fire.

This is the most likely outcome. Shades of keep Schwab and sack Dean Bailey

We won a flag on the back of Peter Jackson and Paul Roos - they turned us into a destination club. Enough smarts in the coaching box (Yze) to help Goodwin get over the line, and the best fitness/high performance bloke in the land (?world) in Burgess. We now have amateur hour at the top (mistaking corporate speak for leadership), coaching stagnation, and serious concerns about fitness/high performance. Turn back the clock. How did we let it fall so fast, so quickly?

i would love Peter Jackson to do the review

Haarland reminds me of an up-market Frost!

This looked like a mid 2000 Melbourne game - in the dark dark times. Beaten on the inside, killed for pace on the outside, other team looks even faster because of their delivery skills. Missed tackles. We're desperately short of AFL grade personel, not hard enough, not skilled enough. I don't want to go back to the days of 3:20 Sunday games agains the Suns at the G with 9000 in attendance. But that's where we're heading unless we have a rejuvenation. Peter Jackson, where are you?

goodbye 2024

they’d miss

Goodwin's press conference had that slightly-[censored]-off tone that I rather like. He never gives anything away, win or lose, but he did have a bit of a point to make today. Good on him. I'm not a huge fan, but kudos to him on today's performance

JNM, did you mean "well, we'll wait to the end of the season and sort that all out" when asked if he was going to North?

Interesting - do you have the median loss for those years?

True - I've just had another look at the film, and it's not really clear who made the suggestion - might have come from the box to Goodwin, or Burgess, or all multiple sources. I'll retract my comment about Burgess's tactial nouse - but he was a bloody good high performance/injury bloke.

The loss of Burgess has been keenly felt, I reckon. He was the instigator of leaving Jackson on the field at the end of the third quarter (Bang, Bang, Bang) - Goody just sort of agreed and broke the news to Max. Our injuries and our management of them - I don't know enough to compare Griffith and Burgess, but I do know that we have had plenty of problems with injuries 2022 onwards. Getting Burgess back (dream on) would be a major victory for the club.
