PREGAME: Rd 04 vs Geelong
Campbell - 1st player selected. You are gonna play 80 per cent game time. Max- You have earned an easier run, 20 per cent on ball, time on forward line

Yes, I’m not a sack Goodwin bandwagon man but now think fresh eyes and ideas will help

Jack Viney Extends Contract Until 2028
Yes. Sometimes I think he’s not best 18, which is so hard on a club champion. Then he plays out of the box and we and commentators have him as a star. My memory of his Dad was the same, invaluable but his kicking let him down. That said, I think he has a few years left as a valuable player. If he went in certain his role at a top club would be much more nuanced.

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
It would have been Brayshaw. Max for a few more years with less responsibility. Lever is a leader

New coach prospects
Thx for considered response. My big take away from yesterday was Max saying they figured our game plan very early meaning they knew what it was before the game and that’s how it played out. Therefore they know exactly how Max ,Oliver Petracca and Viney will attack and keep the attacking game no matter whether we are up or down. So I see hope for a new coach, a strong one to dictate to Viney a new role and maybe position as defensive forward. Similarly create subtely different roles for Oliver and Trac and give proper support to Max.

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
Agree I had us around 12-14 with an outside chance of 8 being positive. Lack of passion is just terrible in two counts , the obvious being you need passion to win and secondarily these boys are paid more than the prime minister . You are paid to play to the best of your ability

My 3 word player analysis V Gold Coast
May. First game back Petracca Tragic injury effect Van Rooyen Not enjoying forward line Langdon Back to wing Viney Needs tough coach Max. He is human Melk. First game back Oliver Good and bad

Time to start a rebuild?
What were the Kangas offering for Viney. Was it even discussed. I disagree on Oliver and Petracca. I would look at offers for both as neither wants to be with us. I would prefer to follow the journey of young players we pick up in exchange for either of them.

Time to go Goody?
Yes, there were some no brainer delistings. Take Verall, not too bad athletically but massively undersized for a AFL ruckman. To Billing’s, I always find it interesting when a trade is being talked about and supporters in this case from the Saints day, no loss as he can’t hit a target.

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
I thought North sounded better- with more upside for supporters before our game with them when they called out the players names pre game. And so it proved. Our response and this is Goodwins issue is when we have a goal kicked against us it’s, mid field, leaders have a chat with Max, put head down and just boot it out of the centre if they get it. So easy and predictable to defend against. And because they go head down all out attack they are in no position to defend from the centre if Max is dominant. Viney, Oliver have been brilliant for us but have had an armchair ride from Max all their careers.

Time to start a rebuild?
It’s possible for the players to both love Goody as we keep hearing and at the same time thinks he’s hopeless.

Time to start a rebuild?
I am baffled with AJ playing over Turner. AJ is a battler, full of heart and a half handy back up but not ahead of a player who’s been in the system like Turner.

HFF or deep forward. Neil Bullen role.

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
The dream is over. Simon helped take us where I thought I would never seen in my lifetime. So thanks, he has a lot of good character traits but flexibility of mind is not one of them and there seems to be a power vacuum at the Club so he is lost. As to the future we need to find a way to get say four top 20 draft picks. Now who can we trade to do that?

Troy Chaplin
Very interesting.

Kossie is a liability due to his temperament. Petracca will never be the same due to mental damage from the disgusting injury he suffered. I don’t blame him. Oliver, wont stay if those two go and we are in rebuild. Maybe all three go at seasons end.

New coach prospects
sorry Flowergirl but anyone who has played footy at any level knows when players give up in a game. As a player you know it yourself. Less than 20 per cent of the players were trying to capacity in the last quarter.

Troy Chaplin
I have never understood why AFL clubs don’t bring former stars in for a session throughout the season. We have four stars in Schwarz , Neita, Robbo and Lyon who could all teach a trick or two about the craft, quite separate to game plan. Things like separation, leading, when to leap and a lot more.

PREGAME: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
Sure try things but langdon runs and runs on the wing. Spargo had no run so couldn’t get it as not match fit windsor is a wing man in mould of Flower , position set. Pickett yes, occasion bursts fritta close to goals is where he plays best and where he will succeed again when he requests a trade
-
Troy Chaplin
Hes the forward coach because he’s done a stellar job as a defensive coach?
-
Troy Chaplin
Finally we come to Chaplin. If I was Fritta I’d be saying if that’s the way you want me to play I’ll look for a new club. And yes why Goodwin puts up with coping all the blame for a loss when this bloke mucks the forward line up.

van Rooyen and Turner to the backline?
Spare back? Isn’t it 666 at centre bounces?
