AFL [censored] up. Send us after NT to Cairns to play 3 games in 9 days. Farrrrrkn ridiculous

Yes he’s a gun

I agree. Our skills are horrible and even worse in difficult conditions. At least the Gabba is sheltered more than Metricon or Cazaly stadiums.

Windy here in Brisbane. Interesting to see if Goodwin can coach a basic skill like kicking with or kicking against the breeze. Good Skills are required and our squad mostly lack skill. But it’s about decision making and being smart. Actually another key deficiency. I’m sure we will go in hard and win contested footy but using the pill is critical. Tonight we have to be smart.

I think the term is “hot and cold”. It certainly does age us and caused unwanted stress levels. Beautiful 24c up here today (it was 22c at 10am for my sons soccer game). Breeze might be a factor. It’s about a 20km southerly today and given our problem with windy days (v dogs and v swans) it might be a problem. Skilled disposal required !!

Agree agree agree. It’s no no no

Agree. He tackles. Good pace. Intense. Smothers. Better than quite a few others.

Jetta May⭐️ Lever Salem. Tomlinson. Rivers. Langdon⭐️ Viney⭐️ Baker Melksham. Brown. Vberg Pickett. Weid. Fritsch Gawn⭐️ Trac⭐️Oliver⭐️ Int. ?Hunt ?J.Smith ?Neal-Bullen ?Spargo Bennell, Lockhart, Sparrow must be considered unlucky.

Lockhart? He must be seriously screwed.

That’s the mistake. Goody doesn’t want to win

Tmac. Oh it’s like moving deck chairs on the titanic

I’d trade 2021 2nd round pick for Gunston. Absolutely.

Ouch. That’s a blow but mightn’t matter in any event given it’s only VERY SLIM chances of finals action. Hope it’s not a Trengove type injury

Agree. Eishold. Yeats. Campbell. Three dead set chances to wrap up the game.

Ditto

Would suddenly make our forward line look very very dangerous.

On the Front Bar. Hated him in 1987. Still hate him in 2020. Not sure Stynes ever redeemed himself in 244 games despite being an absolute champion.

Nostalgic. Drinking at a pub. Great memories

Tom Mac for a late 2nd rounder. Really. Wow. I’m signing now.

Ditto

There’s an agenda to promote the Suns of course. But with us getting in Lever and May which meant no first round picks in 2016-18 drafts, it explains why? I think with Trac, Gus,Oliver, Weid,Sparrow, Jacko, Kozzy, Riv we are ok

Got a run but would like to see him given another game this week v giants. Love to see a Pickett and Bedford combo causing pressure and creating goals in forward 50.

Troll is to denegrate others for an opinion. That was your style. It had nothing to do with any facts and you had no facts. I’m stating imo I think other Melbourne clubs might be his intention or even still going home as happens each year every year. GAL

If Preuss is offered to Swans or Giants , Wright could be a good pickup and present as a forward/ruck option.

I agree with your last point about bringing in a forward craft coach. Our forwards are seemingly not taught basic skills of space and awareness. We lead into the congestion or to the pockets. Often there is the “fat side” with space or the ability to leave a hole. This is not my view as Brown, Carey, Brereton have same comments. That’s a fairly decent group of smart key forwards. One of them would be handy in a part-time capacity. An hour a week with any of these blokes would still cost but it’d be very beneficial.
