Yeah I acknowledge the cheap shot but not how Max should be used. He's been playing behind the ball for several seasons and getting molested in every contest no matter where he is in fact my memory tells me he gets more stand alone marks down the back then he does up forward. That depends on forward pressure causing opposition sides to go forward with desperate bombs( sort of like MFC forward thrusts at times)
-
Everyone except the coach knows Max should be behind the ball in defence 9 times out of 10. Goodwin knows it as well but hes likely to go with stubborn habit just to prove he's boss
-
That's why MFC will miss him .Jackson was mostly potential but Kossi has alreadyvshown what he can do and his potential is that he is set to build on it. It's going to be very disappointing

I dislike him but that's just a ridulous assertion.
-
Yeah but Hogan was much more "interesting " than this other guy.
-
I guarantee that someone will two rounds into 2025

If it's in the news it probably won't happen. Sounds like North Melbourne desperation to me

Frankly unless they learn to kick it to BBB on a lead all he can do is " his best" with what he's got. On a lead and with his inspector gadget arms he's almost a weapon. Certainly that's a change up from the dumb predictable bomb to the forward pocket boundary line. Making him play against his strengths is like Neeld trying to make Liam Jurrah into Byron Pickett. Hopefully both he and TMac have another season in them and a flag to go with it

Jeesus.. go and have a look at Schwarz's highlights reel before he was Ox...if he's that good then they should sack the whole FD right ..NOW for not playing him already. It must be the silly season? Of course you may be correct,which will be exciting... Better than that Ruski ballet dancer guy?

He's made it easy for them ...Goodwin has 3 more seasons to give him a game

Ha ha she tried to teach ME house keeping for the duration of the marriage By chance she was off to buy property in Bali when Covid hit so we ended up sharing house again during "stay at home orders".... which was a very long time, but I had learnt to do my share of house keeping ,while Covid brought our son to stay and he's a chef so...I was the "dishy" as well . No joking..(smile)

I am too, but you should take a look at the Patrick White Letters - two volumes. He was a mean, miserable [censored] Edited yesterday at 08:58 AM by Roger Mellie Letters not diaries As a sidebar to this fascinating exchange I can offer a slogan I occasionally deploy having been married to an actress/ award winning author and( obviously) meeting her cohort of friends ...." I am creative so normal standards don't apply to me" I believe Patrick White to be the sine qua non validating this observation. Allen Jones was a genius coach of young rugby players as well. Funny old world really

I am happy to be proven wrong. Mind you I am not sure those other "dynasties " were so labelled at their first flag. Just to be clear though I am tired of cliched insults of players from other Clubs you guys would all worship if the were in red and blue and I rather hope Lyon goes to the Saints so Ooze doesn't have to start at a basket case in Moorabin. Choco Williams as well for that matter.
Same winning percentage as Goodwin at 57% and more Grand Finals which was obviously the point I was responding to. You are probably one of the blokes who think Geelong were " losers" for only being perpetual contenders after they had their first Dynasty and before this next one. Hilarious Much more interesting pressers from Lyon (and Scott) as well for anyone with a sense of humour
Listen cobber if Goodwin and the FD don't think the game and and the list( too slow too small too few skilled kickers) is ok and they just need to change "ins " for "outs" and not remedy some of the above defects with players who are ready to go ,then he wasn't watching the top four in the finals. The "dynasty " is now off the pace and likely fighting for their hold on the finals not just the double chance and with Clubs building behind them Stubborn narrow mind will get found out in a changing game. One winter of cloudless skies then .... poof it's a deluge!!
OK I apologise. 1 Hunt currently feels hard done by and I have personal information to support that's how he feels. 2 He accepts the decision as the lot of professional athlete. 3.His reasons are listed 4 Nonetheless he makes respectful public comments as a professional athlete should. 5 I imply that currently the balance between rights and obligations in the AFL arena is skewed towards rights 6 Which is not an attractive ( classy) state of affairs. 7 I hope that's now clear and you are intelligent enough ( from your critique) to understand this was a post about "professionalism"in the AFL as much as the subject of the thread. 8 But I doubt it
You have kind of missed what I thought was really obvious but as it seems you have the IQ of Dogga I will explain. Even if you are pee'd off and feeling undervalued by MFC your PROFESSIONAL commitment means you play the game,tick the public boxes and move on....unlike players who think " professional "means it's only money and self interest. No one is contesting self interest..just how you live with it in a professional manner.
Why it's all class is because if you know ( albeit 3rd hand) what he thinks of how he was used ,played out of position and the " coach" then the narrative is very different. But that's what being a professional sportsman is ..what you do and say...not the " right" to get what you want.
How long before they can trade Goodwin?
