Return to Glory

Dolph Lundren physique with the intimidation factor of Charlie Spargo

Phew, we dodged a bullet

Could be priority pick time again my friends...and I'm fully on board. And I think we need to make a play for Blake Caracella as an assistant coach. Had success at wherever he's gone. I really like the idea of having a game plan and, at a stretch, a back up plan

Am I right in hearing our first draft pick goes to Norf this year? Say it ain't so.

Gold Coast - licking their lips

Hunt does not have the nouse to be a forward, let alone the kicking skills. I'm not sure he's good enough full stop. If we are going to struggle up forward, at least get games into Jackson and Bedford. And as for Tomlinson, I suspect my initial thoughts were right. Weak as pi55.

Be interesting to see how we get outcoached this week. So many options.

I really hope not. Felt he was a player with significant upside. That's a long time for a groin injury is it not?

When's Petty ready to go? Was starting to look like a real player before set back.

And I'm calling you out (the go to phrase for the right-on set) for being overly whiney and precious on a football forum.

Rhetorical right?

This is where we differ my friend.

I'm calling for the coach to be sacked. More often than not he's outcoached and we're perpetually on the back foot. And this is an opinion forum last time I looked.

We seem bereft of any real system. I cannot believe the entire playing group has a significantly lower footy IQ than other clubs. It comes back to the coach having no plan B. As for Lever, what did we pay for him? Whatever it was, we've lost that one. And I know Mc Donlad was injured but he should not be in our starting 22. Simply not good enough.

Goodwin must go!

Inclined to agree. If T Mac continues his statue impersonations, Hooker will give him a bath.

Old Dee, I haven't been sleeping well. I recommend it. Nah, I caught it whilst channel surfing.

And the kicker (parden the pun) is that the coach said he thought that in the last 2 minutes we showed great composure.

Surely that's the end of the gift giving to GCS. Matt Rowell is a star as will Noah Anderson be. They now have depth players who would make our 22 (and most others) with ease.

And Goodwin's press conference where he focused on our 'composure in the last 2 minutes' was just odd. It was a comment you'd make if we'd won by 30+, not fluke a win because they sprayed gettable shots in the end.

I'm one baffling coaching performance away from being on board

I had no idea that you weren't big on the McDonald brothers Picket.

Dazzle, it was a very young side tonight. I don't think it's doom and gloom but I now see Goodwin as akin to the little man the Blues had as coach. Will get us to a certain point but we will need to look elsewhere eventually.

I agree to an extent Bing. Think you're being a little tough on ANB but I certainly don't think Hunt does enough. He's a very good front runner imo and I'd prefer to eventually see a gut runner such as Bedford win selection over him. We should also remember that two players were debutants and one hasn't played for, what, three years? Those three weren't going to run the game out all that well, although pretty happy with Rivers. May, also is probably still short of a gallop. Here's the thing. We're exactly where we thought we'd be, one win, one loss. Back on the G' next week and with a good opportunity to be 2:1 up. Kozzy will want to make amends and it's a game that we can win.
