Ted Lasso

Also the guy who's taken 2 different teams to consistent finals series, regular grand final appearances and is about 20 points away from being a 3 time premiership coach?

I have been a supporter of JM for a while and generally think he's been pretty good but it's becoming obvious the club needs some serious change. if we could get Neale Balme or Geoff Walsh in for that role that'd be great, if not i'd be offering it to Alan Richardson.

Absolutely. and i reckon Roosy would be filthy about that. he was always talking about Brand and System and Goody has pulled it apart every year he's had the role.

Yeah exactly, but potentially more like the NBA, Richo would essentially take part of the senior coaching role on in terms of trading, drafting, and overseeing all of those things and you'd have a senior coach who effectively is just a match day coach/tactician. I think this works much better for modern football given the senior coaching role is so broad it's hard for them to really hire the right person because everyone is going to have strengths and weaknesses. would love Clarko, but i'm not sure how likely that is and for me it wouldn't change where i sit in terms of how the football department should look. for me Goodwin looks like a guy taking on way to much and not really sure where to start.

There is still plenty of talent on the list, coming into the right age to compete and play consistent finals... BUT there is now a serious question mark on if we have the right bloke to maximize that talent and get us where we need to go.

I have mentioned this before but the way footy is going i'd look at a football department re-structure, give the power to the GM of footy and hire the best tactical game day coach GM of footy - Alan Richardson - Tonnes of experience, understands footy, just not a good senior coach. Senior Coach - Adam Yze - Tactically brilliant, great apprenticeship under Clarko, history with Dees Backline Coach - Justin Leppach - responsible for the Tigers backline setup, if we could poach him it'd be huge. Midfield/Leadership - Michael Voss Forwards - Steve Johnson Culture/wellness - Brett Kirk Development - Mark Williams

The umpires are having zero bearing on this game. we are playing a horrific brand of totally unacceptable football for a team with our talent.

Justin Longmiuer has been at the dockers for 5 minutes and they already have a better system than we do. says everything that needs to be said about Goodwin really.

Going nowhere under Goodwin.

We are awful haha

Bizarre selections once again, and Freo are a very competitive team. tipping us to really struggle in this game. Thinking it'll be a live game with 5 minutes to go Tipping the dockers by 7 points

Geez.

Geez Olisk is fired up tonight!

He's soft as butter, and only really capable of playing well when guys around him are playing well.

If we can't beat that Swans team we don't deserve to play finals. time to have a look at the reasons why our list isn't playing anywhere near it's potential and why the gap between our best and worst is wider than any other team in the comp and why we're still dealing with the same issues we were in 2017

Out: Oscar, Rivers, Viney, ANB, Wagner, Smith In: Hibberd, Pickett, Tmac, Bennell, AVB, Lochart

The Simon Goodwin era has to end, if he can't instill a ruthless attitude to this team that allows them to back up week after week, time to find someone who can. his selections have cost us at least 4 games this year, this effort is not AFL standard. Casey would be more competitive than this. Season over, time for heads to roll, full external review. i've been off Goodwin for a while now, but this is beyond a joke. we're only every going to be mediocre under Simon Goodwin

Oscar McDonald should NEVER play AFL again, he is so far off the standard it's not funny and just being mates with goodwin shouldn't be enough to get a bloke a game he has to go, and so does Goodwin.

Tipping a statement today. DEES by 50

I would have thought that Gunston could play the same role as Mitch Brown did on the weekend. i think the way footy is going your second big forward can be a more mobile type. I think we'll be looking to address our forward line, i think the club probably thinks we're going okay down back, inside the contest and Sammy is a good deep target but the outside mids, a bit of class, small forwards and some experience are probably still lacking

I think you could play both, Fritsch and Melksham, but this would rely on Picketts pressure going to the next level and those two really putting a clear focus on their tackle games. they would make for incredibly hard match ups if they could do it though. especially with petracca also floating forward

that's probably a fair call! i think he'd be a good get! Weideman would i think really benefit from his guidance in terms of his forward craft as well as the role he could play on field which would be a pretty significant upgrade on what we've gotten this year from TMAC and Brown. i think he's still good for a 30-40 goal season next year

Oh mate they're in strife, i think a few guys like Gunstan, Bruest, Smith etc might all get sharked by teams in the mix would absolutely love to get Jack Gunstan into the side, they can have their second pick back for him

Out: Oscar, Hibberd In: Fritsch, Harmes Harmes to play through the midfield, don't need him down back with Rivers in the side.

People forget very quickly Tom was actually quite a good key defender. the biggest weakness in his game was his kicking out of D50 but i think his field kicking overall has improved a bit these days. he has the odd brain fart but on the most part he's pretty good.
