Culley!!!! HE COULD BE A PLAYER!!!
-
How can we be so close after playing so poorly most of the night?
-
Its been an embarrassing performance so far. Goal to Yze.......then miss. Need to get ga move on.
-
Culley needs to tie his hair back. Seemed to distracted him having to push it back all the time. Having said that he dwarfed the Willy mids. Very strong and he was tagged in the mid. Played well today. Seems to have more confidence since he played in the AFL with us. He definetly has potential to improve and play regular AFL footy.

Geat stuff to keep these guys for another year. We are transitioning youth into the team so we need to keep some experience to show the way. The game and player management has changed for the better. Salaries are an incentive to keep players playing. The drafts are so compromised that some clubs have to keep players playing longer. The Maggies have shown in recent years how older very talanted experienced players keep the team on the straight and narrow. - although those players are not far from dropping off so they will just keep milking free agency and pay unders for good players, eg Houston.

The Hawks have the Blues 1st rounder from a trade last year. I wonder if they start offering that plus??around?
-
Wow, great q. Now to hold on. First half very unclean with the ball but endeavor was good. Third q ball use cleaned up a lot and we were rewarded.

Great news Well done Kalani.

Just like Ross Lyon has mellowed and coaches differently to his previous stints no doubt Buckley will as well. These guys are smart and adapt to whatever is thrown at them just as the players do. One thing is for sure we have a far better list than the Saints did when Ross took over and our list is still way better. We need a natural KPF who can find space ala BBB and a plan for the eventual retirement of the irreplaceable Gawny. Maysy is 33 and not long left. Lever will be 30 next year so a few up his sleeve. TMc is 33 next year. But we have Turner and Howes developing and Petty can go back. Mids covered with Windsor, Langford and Lindsay coming through. Kolt as a forward/mid. Kosi a gun mid/Fwd and Prasad as a small quick fwd in the 2026 draft. So far its all media talk about Buckley. No real substance to it coming from the club, is there??

Give it your best shot Jed. Well earned debut.

Thanks Goody, I loved the 2021 premiership you steered the club to. They are hard as hell to win and you got us to climb the unclimbable mountain.
-
All the [censored] media over the past few years probably permeated its way down to the footy department. The BOD may see offloading Goody a way of distancing himself from the recent past?? Certainly Goody cannot be blamed for the playing list bad luck. Brayshaw retirement Jackson to Feo and players with the traded draft picks not yet coming up. ANB leaving BB retirement Tracc and Oliver issues May and Lever ordinary seasons via injury Stars getting older.
-
I doubt an interim president and CEO would sack the coach. We have quietly had our list decimated in terms of 'guns' and likely not Goodwins fault. Brayshaw - gun ,early retirement, Jackson - pinched from us when still a 'kid'. Replacements with draft picks combines not performing to his level. One of his strengths was power forward. ANB - very good player. Family reasons. replacement has been injured. BB - The exact type of player we need forward now. Unfortunately Petty cannot create separation of the lead like BB and is better suited back. Issues with Tracc and Oliver probably will not see them back to best until 2026. No guarantee though. This season we have seen issues with May and Lever missing games and below top form. McVEE - Not a gun yet but a lot of time injured effecting his performance - same as Windsor.
