Yes, I think this is right. C/Wood would be on track to having the worst training facilities in the AFL if they don't make moves soon

I'll put this here...congratulations Goldie and David https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=794878449345693&set=a.605499274950279

This is the one thing I'm uneasy about...

There is a fine line here...if Macrae's ready to rumble had of seen Maynard rubbed out for 4 as it should have would we think this was the right level of readiness or would we see at being overdone. I don't think any coach knows if his/her players are on... How many times have we heard coaches talk about thinking the team were on and they didn't give a whimper. Or the opposite. It's just not possible to know how a group of 23 players will react once the siren goes. ...and how many teams win after a poor start? many and we were in with a show. I don't think it was the poor start that killed us...the game is played over 4 Q's. For what it's worth I still think it was injury that cost us a realistic shot at the 2023 flag.

I want you to say what you would do... No you're not merely pointing out the stats, you're blaming Goodwin. ...what would you have done differently?

...and have 'Eye of the Tiger' playing at max volume in the rooms before the game. Goody running through the changing room doors, smashing it off it's hinges...

Still waiting for a response ' @Bring-Back-Powell'... It's ok to keep saying this stuff. ...but give an answer, what would you have done?

How do you propose they do that???

I think having differing opinions is one of the great things about footy and sport in general. As others have pointed out however some of the name calling is puerile. The thing I find most disappointing is those who don't really stand by their opinions with a solid reasoning. They will throw things out there but don't back them up and/or come up with an alternative strategy. This seems a common problem with society in general these days.

When fit... First you have to have a good list, then it needs to stay fit and on the park. We only had one half of the equation at the end of the season. ...and to add to it, most of our injuries occurred in our weakest area of the ground where thy could be least afforded.

Is this the Premiership coach they're talking about 'Walking', the one who broke a 57 year drought???? Let me see, who is that doesn't have a clue??? Premiership coach or know it all on a fan site.

I think people forget that Melksham's spot was really a make up spot because of other injuries to KPF's If we look at our preferred structure, 2 KPF's and a ruck/forward. ..If BBB is fit then we have 2 spots to fit him JVR and Petty for starters. Plus a lot of pressure on for the small/medium forwards. Interesting 2024 ahead.

It's a good core to build from with quality new recruits coming in.

With the new kids they often hold them back a bit with a modified program...

I suspect it was a bump he was aiming to deliver all along, poorly disguised as a smother. Even Hamilton Burger could have gotten a conviction in this case. Shows how poorly the AFL handled it.

Not going to help me much either 'Dockett'... ...but it was always one of the big talking points against VFL park. I quite liked going to the footy at Waverley.

Caulfield has a train station...a big plus

Neither...talking about Birch. You didn't read the drop down, a bit of a trap those. Might have to go back and edit the others out.

Maybe better put it this way... The best might have passed her. This will happen as the talent coming in is better developed and t best she has stagnated.

Thanks 'Left Foot', a timely reminder...

It's pretty easy to know who has the comprehension problem...

I thought you might be interested in a discussion on game plan and where things went wrong for us. Obviously my mistake. There is an old saying along the lines of don't answer a question with a question. It's a pretty reasonable response.

I'm asking you what game plan you would have taken in and a follow up, why do you think it would have worked? edit: or can you point me to a previous post where you've said it before?

Just had a quick read and you seem to be saying the game plan is at fault. What would you have done differently with the list we took into finals this year?
