I'm not so sure... They have a very savvy football person taking over the reigns soon. Will be an interesting watch.

I think we should keep it as a base for our dog walking club after we leave.

I'm an Ed fan but it's going to be interesting watching him get off this one. King was blaming LDU for going low in the tackle. I thought you were supposed to go low & tackle around the waste. The fend off came as he was already going low & Ed saw it, just banged the elbow into his head. For mine that's a minimum 3 weeks.

Funnily enough we have a few Premiership players on the list who are good leaders. Just don't need to trade them out. We don't need to bring in old players from other clubs now unless Pendles felt like an extra year.

If he's anywhere near these players then that would be good...but that's a very high bar, particularly McCluggage who I rate as top tier in the AFL.

You need to take into account reasons where they exist. I'm not convinced by him yet but will cut him some slack.. Certainly not 5 years of cobbled together games. By next season we would want to really see something from him.

Have to agree...I heard Cooney talk about this the other day. Said a young player missing a preseason has a huge effect on their season. He said older players can get away with it to an extent because they have banked multiple preseasons & a larger workload over their careers. It actually makes Lindsay's first season quite remarkable.

Sometimes it's about longer term development. Time in defence didn't/doesn't hurt him. Took some nice grabs down back, one would be in the running for mark of the year a few weeks back. Has to be good for his confidence. Forget about a senior debut this year, let him get a full preseason under his belt first.

Watched a bit of it 'Red' and nothing to inspire...

It was certainly a big part of it but not the only issue...

I think you're looking at the wrong bloke...

...and it's the Boards job to oversee and where necessary take action to sort these problems out. A caretaker President & CEO are not in a position to do anything.

An absolute shocker 'Dub'...there's no way in the world that shouldn't have been called. Yet somehow 4 umpires couldn't make it.

He's just having the 2nd season blues coming off an interrupted preseason..and also adapting to a different role.

Josh was an important player in building the Premiership list.

I think this and the management of the club have been bigger issues than many on here think. ...the club has been run this year by an interim President and interim CEO. Not sure how this has been allowed to happen.

Yeah...and why are we still banging on about our coach and regurgitating the same rubbish on the "Time to go Goody" thread? I guess that's the problem with a fan forum...you never know what will come up.

First lets get him back as Football Manager...he's very good in the role.

I think Goody could get some results out of this list with major adjustments of course. We haven't been proactive enough in list management since winning the flag.

Look at it anyway you like but Goodwin is our most successful coach since Norm Smith.

This makes 'picket fence' comments about Max's game look pretty silly...

A class act is Daisy...she spoke so well tonight.

100% with you on this 'mono', I've written about it on this forum many times in the past. It's so dangerous that I would go one step further and make it a reportable offence. I don't fear as much for the [censored] that does it but the poor player who would have to carry the thought that he was part of causing another human to be paralysed.
