Thanks also to hosts Andy and George and regular ‘caller’ binman for bringing us the demonland postcast each week. Keep us overseas folk feeling connected, especially this year when I couldn’t even fly across the Tasman.

Oliver Rumours on Footy Classified
I heard someone got killed in NYC and they never solved the crime, but you wouldn’t know anything about that now would you titan?

TMac on the Trade Table?
Makes sense. They might also go after brown?

Isaac Smith
Yup while those wagners boys might have been considered ripping fellas not really hearing much about them driving higher standards....

How dare you sully my good name!

Finals: Week 3
Only 3 players different for tigers from last years grand final. Always seem to come together at the right time.

Finals: Week 3
Ugh. Richmond again

Oliver Rumours on Footy Classified
Carlton haven’t been able to buy success since 1995, and how much time has Clayton had to compare the quality of facilities and the so called ‘blueprint’? I could understand if it was collingwood/Richmond/Geelong but the blues?

Still can’t fathom what Carlton offers over us in terms of likelihood of premiership success.

Gary Lyon 10 goal final, wow we need a forward badly
Any else notice that Schwarz looked like he gave the goal umpire at pat on the bum after goal number 3?
-
Yze is a Demon Again
Great news. Albeit the timing is interesting given that the deep dive review is still apparently underway.
-
Brody Mihocek
Seems like a real solid citizen and just what our forward line is missing. Hope we can prise him out.

Viney Signs Until 2025
Great news. Sounds like they upped the deal to 5 years after the initial offer was deemed to be lowballing him. Heart and soul players are so critical for good driving standards and behaviours. All the best for the next 5 years!

Adam Saad
This surely must become an issue for them soon.

Jack Viney Restricted Free Agent
Over to you to pull that info together

Jack Viney Restricted Free Agent
Agreed. Best speech of the night. I thought it showed class and maturity.

NON MFC: Round 18
Not if we had actually qualified outright by winning a game in cairns. We could have sent the dogs to Perth and knocked out collingwood...

Caroline Wilson on MFC rumblings
Pretty sure Adelaide was very keen on Goodwin.

The Travel Factor
Well earlier in the season the team was likely affected by a lack of continuity in training and matches. So that might explain why it took a while to see any resemblance of a coherent team, which became more apparent in the middle of the season when we got on a bit of a roll. I’m not saying that’s acceptable but clearly many of those factors were out of our control. While the players may have sufficient fitness the tight schedule and travel means everything is compressed, including time for reviewing games, identifying issues to be addressed, preparing and communication messages to players via lines coaches, opposition analysis and strategising, etc. I suspect those are the areas where our footy departments weaknesses have been exposed recently.
-
The Travel Factor
Therein lies my point. That the travel exposed weaknesses/issues that were there already and need to be addressed.
-
The Travel Factor
It’s interesting because under Goodwin we’ve actually performed pretty well on the road. But clearly this schedule is punishing and I think would have exposed any weaknesses in a number of areas, from the discipline of individual of players in their preparation approach and through to the football department’s planning and operations.

NON MFC: Round 16
Carlton didn’t deserve to play finals in 2013 either. Just saying...
