Thats the season done. Rest up and recover Trac. Your health is the priority. Time to perfect more recipes apart from just meatballs.

Yes that’s the footy department that wins inside 50s count for 3 years as a team but has constant “forward of centre” issues with scoring and conversions and says we are working on it uses James Jordon as a sub for 11 times in a season and refuses to give him game time and queries why he departs when his contract expires recruits Grundy and after 9 weeks says that’s enough, experiment over recruits Shane McAdam as an injury riddled 28 year old after 50 games in 8 years recruits Hunter and Billings as ineffective,butter like, small non physical players to assist the salary dump from other clubs signs Laurie up for a 2yr extension as he shows nothing for 3 years and is way off becoming a league player alienates Tomlinson by playing him for one game, he plays well and gets dropped whilst others have 6-7 weeks of poor form and stay in alienates Woey jnr by playing him as a sub for 5/6 weeks and then dropping him whilst others are worse and keep getting games (Chandler, Billings, Hunter) pushes Tom Sparrow up as a next gen midfielder but his skills and ballhandling and run is deteriorating Pursues Petty as a key forward despite him being a premiership key defender Turning young Turner from a competent defender into a flawed forward option Keeping an aged Ben Brown on one leg and a dodgy back for another year Thank god we don’t have a voice at the footy department!!!

V Pies. Centre clearances 6 - 14 🤮🤮 Tackles 49-69🤢🤢 Dees. 6 goals. 47 inside 50s. 13%🤡 Pies 14 goals. 50 inside 50s. 28%.Goalkicking again was poor 🤨 Final stats. Score 51-89 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

The Goodwin era Home and away numbers 2017: 12 wins, 10 losses 2018: 14 wins, 8 losses Finals 2 wins 1 loss 2019: 5 wins, 17 losses 2020: 9 wins, 8 losses 2021: 17 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses Finals 3 wins 🏆 2022: 15 wins, 6 losses Finals 2 losses 🤮🤮 2023: 16 wins, 7 losses Finals. 2 losses🤮🤮 2024: 7 wins, 6 losses today was a bad bad loss v Pies At full strength (excl Lever) versus a Pies side missing 6-7 best 18 players. We got humbled and frankly humiliated again. Earlier this year Goody kept saying it was about making the supporters really PROUD to support the Dees. Well it’s quickly moved to us members and supporters being disappointed, disheartened and embarrassed.

Rivers was ok. Just some fine tuning. Needs to keep running and running and kicking. Forget the handballs to no one

It’s about looking after and supporting your mates

Agree. Tim Lamb 🪓 Greg Stafford 🪓

Yes he has little impact. Gets it. Kicks to nothing or no one. Helicopter mongrel punts. Or a floating handballs to players under worse pressure. Love Clarry as a heart and soul but decisions and skills are D grade right now. Coaches need to coach him. Yes coach.

Rebuild starts in round 15.

Again another weak response. Aside from Viney, how many blokes actually fly the flag. Not many soldiers in the trenches !!!!

6. Gawn 5. JVR 4. Anb 3. Oliver 2. Pickett 1. Langdon

Goodwin wants Woey jnr out. Sub 6 times then drops him in a blink Goodwin wants Tomlinson gone. Dropped in a blink. Seriously showed enough to keep his spot. If I was Tommo, I’d walk out. why recruit Mcadam, Billings, Fullarton. Three non contested footballers and Mcadam and Billings on the decline. why continue with BBB. One leg. Can’t bend or run. Seriously a shame to see him like this. why extend Laurie?? He’s a list clogger seriously tough calls but the club won’t make them lots of blah blah words Quick list update and revision key defenders: May, Petty, Tomlinson, Adams tall defenders: Lever, D.Turner, Hore. med/sml/running defenders: Rivers, Bowey, Salem, Mcvee, Howes inside Mids: Petracca, Oliver, Viney, Sparrow outside Mids: Langdon, Woey jnr, Windsor key forwards: JVR, Jefferson, Fullarton , Kentfield tall forwards: Fritsch, Sestan small forwards: ANB, Pickett, Chandler, Throlstrup, AMW, K.Brown Rucks: Gawn Verrell thats 33 End of 24- retirements: TMCD, Melksham, BBB Delist: Schache, JS29, Farris-white Must be delisted ( but probably won’t): Hunter, Spargo, McAdam, Laurie , Billings. Offer nothing.

Goodwin - it’s time to go. Seriously shows zero ability to turn this around. He had all the jewels in 2021. But failed before and after. That’s 8 years at the helm and to take one premiership from such a list is a poor poor poor outcome.

Chandler 🤢 Billings 🤮 Laurie 🤮 seriously why are they playing !!!?!?!?! Howes 😡 Sparrow 😡 Both need a few games at Casey

Half time Goodwin 😡😡😡actually Goodwin 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 Elliot De Goey Mitchell Mihocek Pendlebury Cox. injury hit Pies up 45-18 1. Overhandballing AGAIN into pressure. Are you all stupid!!! 79 handballs. Really. 2. forwards instruction clearly now there to be seen. Haphazard at best. insude 50s Dees 23-21 3. missed tackles. Weak ! Yes weak 4. Turnovers. Skills are so bad. So bad @poita Well said. “our game plan is to build the stats with short kicks backwards and sideways, followed by the inevitable error that results in chain of useless handpasses and finally a blind handpass on to the chest of an opponent. By this time our defenders are 50 metres off their opponents and completely out of position”.

It’s so [censored] obvious. Its madness

Goodwin. First qtr Three goals down 19-4 Turnovers missed tackles handball errors dumb cute footy 15 inside 50s for zero goals poor goalkicking Crisp running unchecked !! Too obvious did you miss him as one of their ball carriers is this the response ? Seriously you are [censored] joking 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

absolutely shocking

Goodwin. First 10 minutes two goals down 12-0 Turnovers missed tackles handball errors dumb cute footy is this the response ? Seriously you are [censored] joking

Must win today. Must !!!

Not much to evaluate today as Pies were severely weakened team. Kolt was good and can see him having a real future.

@Demon Dynasty ”tomorrow's outcome will come down to will, want, fight and desperation” which is what I have NOT seen from neither Billings nor Laurie. They have shown to be low paced and low intensity players. List cloggers imv.

Gutless team decisions. wtf drop Tomlinson. wtf drop Woewodin Include Billings 🤢 Include Laurie 🤮

Ins ? Outs ??

Eagles got dudded by the umps. (But no tears from me 🤣) Yeo must still be scratching his head !!!
