We have had too many poor decisions or non decisions in the last year or so. And we say nothing. Goodwin’s record would look better if he had spoken up LOUDLY. But no it’s just a job

Winning Finals football is like Rabbit stew, First of all catch the bloody rabbit, No point in beating top 8 sides , or losing by a point or two, If you throw away games against the lower sides. You need to be in the finals race. And if you are there, then the pressure is on the other side to lose 50 - 50. Catch the Rabbit, make the final 8 . Wins can look after them selves if you are there in September, we will be on a well deserved break in Bali or somewhere sunny.

Perhaps but that’s how you can get there. Beat the teams 9-18th and the top 8 when you can. We have lost to some very low ranked sides. Frustrating

I think its called strategy, Resting key players at times, so they can play well against other sides, usually the weaker sides. Because 4 points against carp sides means as much as 4 points against the top sides. Lose the first 5, season over. Like why play the very best side against someone ( player or team) you will inevitably lose to. It's strategic over the WHOLE season. Its not how you get to the season finals but IF ( IF) you do. Couple of years ago a Collingwood mate said its not by how much you win, but If you win. They won a number of games by very small amounts. They were sheethouse as a side, but they made the finals. Again they have more assets doing strategy than we do, It's a football department problem in the main. In my view. Kicking for goal and forwards 50 , might be totally different.

But any chance our football department or coach will rock the boat No way in HELL !

Windsor on the wing. Flower like. In the back like shifting flower in the 80’s we lost in both places .

Give him a rest ! Petty playing now , will not help next year.

Back to page 1 and read again. Rince and repeat. But we still lost today when we might have won,

Yes rest the senior players. They need a mental break and see if we have anyone with potential . 2022-2025 was a total failure for many reasons. Goody ? No bloody idea ? Should he go or should he stay ? NBI. But he needs a LOT of help.

Only managed to see half if the last quarter. Watched the scores I think we are mentally and physically weak. I do think we have so some very good players and some too old or past best 22. I think it’s the strategy we employ or football direction we employ that is terrible, Why for instance Kick backwards with only 1 minute 30 left and you are a couple of goals DOWN. FFS you are trying to get the ball forward ( quickly) and win. FGS (pardon the profanity ) as I yell at the TV . Sorry darling. Just as well we do not have kids. It’s up to others with football smarts, I am too old. Too stuck in my own ways. We need a clean out , some players but more strategy and direction staff. For instance. The players do not need to love each other or the coach . Respect is different. And we cannot kick for goal and we are not fit enough mentally or physically. I will read this thread twice more.

It’s great Melky kicking a few. But surely it should be others kicking the goals. Why oh ferking why

Feel this way as well, each year is the same it seems . Really confident at the start them ……..reality….jeez I hope win

I have underwear like that, I wear two so I can say I have clean jocks.

Not so confident today. Chin up lad. I remember SN34 and son, on Ripponlea train, waiting to go to a tigers match . They were good we were not. My closing remarks like, I hope your boy enjoys the game and has a win. Must be 15 years ago or more. And it worked. Go Dee’s

If you want some confetti, come along after the wedding. There is a lot lying around. And if you pick it all up you will be doing every one a favour .

It could always be worse. I could barrack for Carlton. ………

Yes a coach that shows emotion, like a supporter, rabble though we are. It means they are a little bit more invested in the outcome/result rather than it just being a job. May as well work from home. We all know the angry ones. Would hate to have Hardwick, he was Essenscum 2000 no way , Jose !

First bit is correct Petty should be put on ice until next year. Results this year are not going to change what happens on 2026. (Who ever coaches). Play whoever might form best 22 next year for a series of games. Thinking JvR. Kolt, Brown, Woey, AJ even Jefferson and Laurie. At least then we might find a treasure, If Windsor plays only on the wing please. And Disco forward. We need to trade some favourites while they have currency not thinking #5 or #13. Lose 6 or 7. Trust JT and bring in some new blood. I will look for positives if not on the scoreboard , somewhere.deep cuts need in the playing list and FD. The system is broken.

If you use a g instead of an f. Is it the same as using a b instead of a c. What a silly bunt !

unfortunately. Question Would Collingwood , Hawthorn or Essendon or st.kilda do nothing No wonder we are a pushover. Soft cooks.

So we had four players fined. How many did Gold Coast get fined. I did not see the picket punch. Was it there at all ?

Thinking number 19 might do in a year’s time

G’day. Come here often then, and read everything, Your correct. GW , he really is one who loves a loss.

You do not need to go to Christmas dinner with the coach and his family but if you are asked to run into a brick wall you need to respect totally those who ask .
