Bring Back Barassi

It certainly set the tone for Kozzie. Lazy effort, then dropped his head for the rest of the game.

No one was tagging Oliver.

To half time he had 6 disposals. 5 of them were uncontested and 1 contested. He had 3 goals assists and 4 score involvements to half time.

He couldn't break from stoppage, that was the problem.

Actually, Zak Jones had the tagging job on Clarry. Managed 20 disposals as well

coaching genius Lyon, totally humiliated Goodwin today

Putting a strong tag on Kozzy and Clarry rendered us impotent out of the stoppage.

In the meantime Wanganeen runs free and sets them up for the win

At least we get the No.1 draft pick

I would be very surprised if any club would take him on for anything more than $600,000

Once that becomes apparent, the desire to rip up the contract will diminish 

Viney and Petracca would net 3 or 4 first rounders I reckon 

When GWS and the Suns mangled the draft we were the prime losers

Tassis will do the same in a few years so we need to maximise our participation in the draft until then

How are we going to do this ? Cash out some chips while we still can !!

We don't have Grundy's. Got away with that one as it is between the Pies and Brodie.

The extra cap space includes that which was allocated to Gus and Grundy.

We also have the difference between what was being paid to JJ and Harmes and that being paid to Duke and Kolt.

Probably about $1.5m

Must be Verral. The junior brigade is building.. bring in Jeffo too while we are at it 

maybe spoke a bit too soon… the curse usually lasts a week or two after the desecration.

Get a hearse for the curse 

I don’t know if the Naarm Curse is a real thing but at least the club could consult with the Kulin elders to provide advice on the matter

Not just losses, but losses against the flow, unexpected losses which led to a run of bad form

Gotta get John Safran’s guy who lifted the Socceroo curse. 

Seems like the adoption of “Narrm” as our name during the indigenous round has coincided with abysmal performances that have been a negative turning point for our season year after year.

Maybe we can change to Kulin or Boonwurung, maybe some kind of exorcism but heck we’ve got to break this Narrm Curse

They've obviously seen enough in Port's hard fought victories over an experienced Eagles side and a premiership contending Tigers outfit.

But in saying that the bookies obviously think May is a massive out to our system and going to be hard to replace, they might also think Lever might be a bit ginger and propy.

That price will balance up significantly come the first bounce i would say, money will come in late for us.

 

Already come in to $2.46 but some real value at 40+, paying $13

Hard to rate Port, only played WC and RICH, but I reckon we are a shot at a big win, more than a 8% chance for sure

Sure ok, but we are missing 3 of our starting back 6.

 

I think it was 2017 when we lost our entire back 6

I reckon this bloke would have sorted him out nicely (and a reminder about how many sleeps to go to the start of the season).

Loved Jacko, followed him from end to end every quarter, possibly the most offbeat and entertaining Dee of all time.

That said… his bark was infinitely more frightening than his bite

Caddy looks like he will be a hybrid forward but could end up developing into an inside midfielder.

Jefferson has shown little to suggest he will be an AFL footballer IMO.

Players like Jefferson typically take 3 years to develop at a minimum. Give the boy some time

I guess that would mean only 3 names, JVR, McVee and Rivers. Who would you put forward?

No one. Their preference is Curtin who will go further down. Multiple first round picks is a no brainer for them

OUT: Stafford

IN: S.Rocca

I just want the Carlton scum to lose

Good god I wish we still had Jesse. Like yearning for an ex girlfriend...

We should be better kicking for goal.  We were much improved moving the ball inside 50 last night but shouldn’t only pull that out in a sudden death final. We need coaches who really want to sort these 2 things out. 

Goal kicking really gives me the sh&ts.  As players are running in its obvious they will miss.  As soon as Max started running towards the point post I knew he would miss. Kossie kicks well when he gets good momentum like his second shot.  His first was not his routine.  When Tracc walks in you know he will miss as he leans back.  It’s unprofessional that they and the coaches have not done enough quality goal kicking practice to get their routines nailed down so they can produce under pressure like the last 2 weeks.  The fact we have arguably lost at least 3 and maybe 4 of our finals due to poor goal kicking is a blight on Goody. 

To go well in 2024 the club has to stay off   demonland and not buy into supporters excuses about injuries being why we lost. We had all our superstars. WCE got it done without 3 injured All Australians (6xAA between them) in 2018. If the club accepts excuses like injuries then we won’t address the issues in our control.  There needs to be a serious effort to address our goal kicking and our attacking game plan. Our defensive game is elite. 

Wasn’t Choco supposed to be the greatest goal kicking coach of the millenia?? I mean he’s even got his patented red stripe goal kicking ball !! What the heck ???

Every one of those delinquents who missed easy shots in the last two games gets detention, sent down to Melbourne Grammar and writes out 10,000 times “I will not miss any more ducken easy shots at goal”

Then they go down to the oval and keep practicing their kicking till their boots wear out, and they are kicking barefoot 

1. Sack all players and coaches

2. De register the club

3. Shut down the AFL
