  1. Playing players carrying injuries, ignoring good form at Casey, while promoting players not in good form and rushing in players without a run in the reserves are all Goodwin specialities from about 2022.
  2. As if a player is going to retire when he can earn $400,000 to $500,000 a year cruising around Casey & first grade.
  3. I love JV but was disappointed that the Club caved in to the shenanigans of NM & extend his contract when there was no need to do so.
  4. So would B Lovett but not T Ormond-Allen.
  5. BTW which Molloy is at half back ?
  6. Last brainteaser !!!! I've heard that before.
  7. Just a great human being.

    No not straight forward. The statement refers to one particular allegation found to have no substance however over the course of this disastrous journey allegations were made about several behavioural issues.

    I read the full statement & I'm not sure anyone was actually vindicated. I'm just glad it's over & both parties can get on with their respective lives.

    Brad communicates with members more than previous incumbents. So far so good.
  11. Demonland should introduce an IQ test before you can post
  12. Unlucky not to be AA in past years. Don't know if he will ever get back to his best.
  13. Come on guys - spell his name right
  14. Gets a pass this year for obvious reasons however his output is down by about third. Needs to get back to his better form in 2025 or the Club will have to take a long hard look at him. You can't be earning $1.1 m & deliver a $500,000 performance.
  15. I'm surprised you & Goffy haven't already started a petition to bring Roffey & Pert back.
  16. Can't agree about an "ok year up forward". I reckon he had a couple of good games, maybe 3 solid games & thats about it. And 9 goals 15 is a poor return.
  17. 🤣🤣🤣 Both have left the building after a period of turmoil & Saty is still advocating for them. Next he'll be proposing statues for Neeld & Schwab.
  18. Not sure how stating the facts is smug or snide. Several posters here have noted that GP's situation was untenable since the Clarry Mk 2 saga. I suppose waiting for yourself, Saty or KDF to admit the media got it right & GP had to go is a forlorn hope.
  19. Just reporting the facts, the media got it exactly right, whereas according to you all of our 2024 disasters are just a beat up.
  20. Wasn't there a bit of friction between PJ & the Board at the end ? I seem to recollect that PJ made recommendations about the new CEO which were ignored.
  21. Hardly a surprise. Several media commentators predicted this saying his position was untenable after the "Clarry to Geelong" saga. Let's hope we replace him with a quality person. Let's face it we haven't had many decent CEOs recently.
  22. I saw Aguirre the Wrath of God by Herzog in the 70's. A most bizarre, tedious & incomprehensible film.
  23. No better than Schache
  24. Needs to find a niche. Maybe a tagger or a running half back or a defensive forward.
