Cranky Franky

This was appropriately dealt with by the Club & the AFL in the pre season and most people were ok with it. Surprised you would support a grubby politician who sticks their nose in a court matter because they think they can get political benefit out of it. I thought lynch mobs went out of favour in the 1930's but some Demonlanders sound like they want them back.

That's the spirit. Build more jails & put everyone in jail. Especially any young thugs. Just follow the US system. What could go wrong ?

You must be kidding. Fullerton did very little and was beaten at 2 ruck contests by Oscar McD. He gets another chance but really showed nothing.

I'm 68 years old & haven't kicked a footy in 10 years yet I would back myself against Max in taking 10 set shots for goal 20m out at 45 deg.

Multiple AA's yet still can't be relied on 20 metres out aaand still shanks them left. At least he's consistent.

May & Pickett both had niggles after the last game.

Faith is something people grasp at in the absence of any actual evidence.

Who would bother going to those marquee games to watch our woeful efforts. I've been twice this year & its obvious to me & everyone around me the glaring tactical problems but the Brains Trust seems oblivious.

Nothing At All It's back to the future. Similar to when Jim Stynes had to step in.

It's all about list management that is player trading, third & 4th round draft picks & rookie picks over the last 4-5 years. Geelong has been outstanding while we have been rubbish & made our list worse. For example they have 4 genuine ruck options while we have 1 and a half.

Pretty disappointing after a reasonable debut. Seems to lack aggression, can't stay on his feet and is hesitant in his decision making.

It's blindingly obvious to most media commentators & our supporters that the appalling match day coaching is costing the team dearly and this is being ignored.

The Board failed to have a proper succession plan, failed to oversee the executive & the Football Dpt & wasted a lot of time & $$ fighting off reasonable requests by Peter Lawrence. They were in charge & bear a large portion of responsibility for our current situation.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Last roll of the dice - stick him in the back pocket @ Casey for a few games & see what happens.

And let's not forget Goodwin is arguably the worst match day tactician going round. His failure to pick up unmanned Geelong defenders last week was ludicrous. We may as well have just stopped at the half way mark and handed the ball over to a Geelong player.

We've had what one good CEO (Jackson) in about the last 10. The other nine were mostly duds. Our success rate has OT been good.

The CEO would have input but coach removal would have to be approved by the Board.

Yes that's what the smart recruiters do. Target a player specific to their needs who might be struggling for game time. Bedford & Meek are prime examples.

Didn't think I'd ever agree with you but I do. The trading has been putrid. Consider we let go of Frost, Hunt, Bedford, Jordon, Harmes, Baker & brought in Dunstan, Schache, Hunter, McAdam, Grundy & Billings.

The smart recruiters identify young talent that struggles a bit to get regular games ie Bedford, Jordon, Bobby Hill while the dumb recruiters grab 27 or 28 year old hacks who are looking for a bit of superannuation top up.

Really ??? We have no back up key defenders or small defenders. The cupboard is bare of key forwards. No decent back up ruck. The midfield is old & one paced. Or secondary picks & trades in the last few years have taken the list backwards ie Schache, Laurie, McAdam, Billings, Fullerton. But hey it's all good.

Rewriting history here. Actually he coached well in 2018, 2021 and arguably 2023. 2017 was an abject failure, 2019 & 2020 were disasters, 2022 was a badly missed opportunity & 2024 was probably out of his control. He was given a great list & has squandered it.

Jeez the usual Conga line of Goodie acolytes who shot down any criticism of him in 2024 seem to have all faded away.
