Fork 'em

That's what I'm talking about.

Go the Demons 💪👹

C'mon Captain.
Bang it home.

Petracca unsighted.

Now if we come out and try defend this lead I will .... SPEW UP!

Petracca really needs to fix his set shot technique.

Really need to fix his field kicking technique as well.

Champs should gobble those.

Salem 🙄

Chip, chip BS

See .... I'd do a 700km round trip if I knew I'd be watching footy like this.
Chip, chip defensive BS .... No.

Heard on radio he was having concussion assessment

Might've copped a knee in the head marking contest outer wing.

Win or lose I could happily watch this every week.

Are you not entertained?

those Dlanders who know about footy: Seriously… why this week?

Cause I'm coaching from 350km away

The reaction from Petty 🤣

Oliver better pull his finger out or he'd be on the trade table too.

Salem crapping his pants against a guy who has played a handful of games.

He'd be on the trade table if I was coachin'.

That's is what I've been bangin' on about for 2 years.

As for Bedford? We all saw the potential?

That's a stretch. He showed some promise, that's it

Weren't too many broken hearts when he went ... until he started playing well

Hindsight is your friend, Dazzle

I live in the real world

Not sure if you're just bored and playing devils avocat today Macca.

I saw Bedfords potential from his 1st draft clips.
He had what we needed .... Speed and liked to kick a goal.
Didn't get a run at it cause he couldn't get past the one paced Premiership medallion wearing coach favourite Spargo.

As for Jordan, he was never the flashy player but if he had the ball I was confident it was going to another guy in a red & blue jumper.
He too struggled to get a run at it as he was most often relegated to sub and as far as I was concerned it was a disgrace that Goodwin couldn't or wouldn't get him onto the ground grand final day.
Haven't seen what he's been doing lately tho' but from what I gather he's a good tagger.
I don't think Goodwin was ever big on taggers as he'd always back our mids in.
I was disappointed for Jordan and understood exactly why he went looking for opportunities elsewhere.

The Bedford decision was definitely disappointing from my end.
But hey, I aint the coach, I don't make the decisions on list management or gameplan (much to my dismay).
But if I did we'd be doin' things a hell of alot differently.
We'd be playing fast, aggressive and what I like to call "entertaining" footy and drawing more than 25k to home MCG games.
And I'll tell ya somethin' else for nothin'.
If I thought any player was bludging or not doin' what I told 'em.
They wouldn't be playin'.

Goodwin is not the head recruiter

So this year he has been handed a list of duds who can't (or won't) adopt a new game plan

The players are a lazy lot

Don't let them off the hook by just blaming the coach

They are getting paid $Millions to underperform

The head recruiter is told what the coach wants and does his best to recruit them.
The coach decides who gets to run onto the ground.
And by your argument he's been allowing these lazy buggers to run onto the ground.
1st game against GWS we had 5 debutants and gave them a run for their money due to their enthusiasm that the older blokes fed off.
The list is far too comfortable knowing even if they just trot around half arzed they'll still be gettin' a game next week cause a few years ago they won a flag.
As Barassi once said. " if given the choice of a bloke with talent or a goer, I'll take the goer every time."

You're describing most of our list there.

100%

And it's just the way Goodwin wants it.
He plays for territory.

How would you be as one of our forwards when they see one of our mids streaming toward you knowing damn well that this could go anywhere.

11 minutes ago, Macca said:

I'd trade Rivers

Wastes the ball and panics

Lets face it.
That's a large majority of the list.
That Goodwin has assembled.

This club has me excited for the NBA playoffs and the new NFL season!!!

Looking forward to watching Caitlyn Clarke tear all those jealous ghetto horsehair wig wearers to bits myself.
She's a Hoopastar.

As for us I've got nothing but a foreboding sense of .... Doom.
But I really like the look of Langford.
Hope Goodwin doesn't ruin him.

I think an organisation of any type would be sensitive to health of an employee and the stress it places on a family. Add to this the role of an Italian family and the way they work as a family. It was a workplace incident.

We need to move past this idea that footy is a ‘man’s’ game and everyone should toughen the F up. If Trac was my family, I’d ask a few questions and lose trust in the club and its medical staff.

im sure the club has invited the family into the rooms and facilities and encouraged them to play a role over the years. You can’t have it both ways…

And that's how you end up with tantrum throwing adults.
Yes it was a workplace incident, a football accident.
Part of the reason footballers get to sign 7mill contracts.
No you can't have it both ways.

True that, but my employer never had my health on a knife edge either. If they did balls that up my family would be asking questions (at least)

And that would be for the lawyers to sort.
Not ya mum and dad.
Especially if you're a 29yr old man.
