That's what we said before Neeld took over Then things got worse Our players are coach killers

Ok then, now we're talking So the coach has copped most of the angst on this thread so far How about we spend 100 pages on all the other issues? Just to square things up Trouble is, we are stuck with a number of the other issues that's why the coach often cops it first But I'd hold firm with Goodwin and start clearing out the deadwood than can be cleared out

JVR & Fritsch have been heading for the axe since halfway last year What has saved them is we don't have replacements. In fact, the coach has shown remarkable faith in both of them I'd trade both of them

God help us The lunatics have taken over the asylum

Goodwin didn't learn how to not coach overnight The players are the problem and it's clear to see

We are not enacting the game plan we trained all summer to do You're not seeing it because the players can't be bothered So look further than the coach and you'll have your answers The players are bludging on the job

Well, at last we agree But you just want to sack the coach

Of course not You are jumping to the wrong conclusion But I'd clear out plenty

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

Stats are often meaningless My eyes tells me he he doesn't hit targets and just kicks for distance Trade

Over the course of a season, he rarely lays tackles. One Swallow doesn't make Summer And now that he can't get the ball, he's become a liability (like many others)

The players don't want to run hard with a new game plan They are bludging

Ha ha! Well, people like you keep quoting me so I'm abridged to reply Hey, I leave all the Goodwin bashers alone with their blinkered, idiotic views And they say the same thing 1000's of times without ever being quoted Maybe they like all the 'likes' Sack the players, not the coach

Footy is way different The players are ruling the roost and it is plain to see

Sparrow showed a bit of promise back then but is now an ordinary player and has regressed. Doesn't win his own ball but we've got more than half a list in that boat Trade or delist Again, none of these harsh player evaluations are the fault of the coach 'If it is to be, it is up to me' applies to all players. Blaming the coach when a player is not up to it is poor analysis I guarantee you that if this lot hadn't won a flag, there'd be a lot more talking like me

I'd trade Rivers Wastes the ball and panics

Yeah now, but not then You're using hindsight to help your argument

Yeah now, but not then Since then, those players keeping Bedford & Jordon out of the side have lost form

I couldn't care less what others think JVR plays from behind and is soft. At suburban level he'd be found out And Fritsch rarely puts his body on the line and doesn't like contact. That's why he won't lay tackles He's a receiver as is JVR

Opportunity When they were at the MFC, we didn't have room for them Shiiiittt happens

I'm on the side of the coach as the players are bludging Freeloaders & coach killers

And it is incumbent on all the players to get the best our of themselves If they want to sook it up, trade them out. Getting paid $Millions for what? To lay down on the job? A lazy, undisciplined and unaccountable group That's what we are stuck with

He just dropped 2 players who won't go near a contest (JVR & Fritsch) ... expect more of the same but the cupboard is bare Casey is full of NQR's who are not AFL standard We need a lot of new players

He's a soft footballer who should have been dropped last year Won't go near a contest and looks frightened

In my view we've got a list of lazy freeloaders taking money under false pretenses We need to rebuild and trade out (if we can) the players who have decided to lay down on the job Or play them at Casey like Fritsch & JVR Goodwin needs to weild the axe. He's got nothing to lose as he's heading for the axe himself
