JVR over AJ. AJ is too messy at AFL level and goes missing for long periods. Only depth in my opinion so far.

I really buy into the notion that bogey sides are real , which makes me think we can do it this weekend.

I really hope we don’t try to feel them out and take a few hits like we normally do. We need to act like the hunter. Every interstate team regardless of how they are going are a different proposition at home .

Knows where the big sticks are!

The great thing about Fullers is we didn’t lose any ground when he went into the ruck.

Heavy loading for first 5 rounds to have us the fittest team in finals. Goody and Selwyn = genius.

I thought the examples they showed demonstrated how easily we be scoring from Centre clearance, that extra handball which brings your spare basically to the 50 line. 2 things from there, you can have a nice look at kicking the goal yourself, or eventually the defence get caught between defending the 50 or coming up to stop the kick sending them into a scramble. If goody is coaching us to ignore that option I’ll eat my hat.

Everyone on This forum could see this weeks team lineup Was gonna be an issue, but the person paid to selecting a winning team Has stuffed up royally. Our midfield has no one to kick To and that’s on goody. Hand your resignation in now .

Zero selection integrity.

Was looking forward to seeing him play this week. Should have known better. Unbelievable that Goody can just write off a bloke.

Probably the most talented player in the league but he does not care about footy.

I can’t think of any player we have traded in that’s improved our team since the flag.

This year is feeling eerily like Danihers last season. We had just been run off our feet in a final against freo and he got the team to shred some weight and become a more running side losing our contested edge. We completely fell apart and Neale fell on his sword. Goodwin can see where the game is headed but the list is built to play a different game style and it’s just not working. I think we can all see it’s going to have the same result. This will be Goodwins last year as our coach.

I reckon if Lever is coming back in Petty is going to the forward line .

What are some of the fitness manager prospects too? Can’t play 4 quarters.

The game plan Goody has implemented this pre season does not seem conducive to winning games.

It’s hard to tell what the actual game plan is if we aren’t actually winning contest .

Our team this week will be significantly stronger . If we have a similar result it will be a deesaster.

I think we would be playing way below expectation.

I’m not up for a scorched earth rebuild. Kozzy will go and that will get us back into the first round This year and possibly and extra pick in the first Round next year. Hate to hear myself say it but banish Melksham and McDonald to VFL, they aren’t the future. You keep trac and Oliver. They can be our Pendles and Sidebottom. But move them out of the prime spots more often to allow the younger brigade to have more centre bounce. Give Jefferson and Adams as much opportunity as possible in the 1’s to fast track their development.

So based on training we are playing against Melbourne Victory this weekend?

The hallmark of that 2021-2023 team was we were always in the game because we would fight all the way to the end. Yesterday was alarming how we seemingly gave up against North of all teams in that last quarter. There’s still too much talent in this team for results like this, you have to question the hunger to dig deep when the backs are against the wall at the moment. That’s not fitness. That’s being motivated, and inspired. A few more efforts like this and unfortunately for Goody, it’s not going to end well for him. It’s classic “Not playing for the coach” areas.

The good thing is we should be pretty fresh after resting all of the players in the 4th quarter.

I think Victoria is crying out for a smaller boutique stadium around 30k.

Really excited to see all our debutants but it’s probably tempered my expectations of getting the result.
