POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
Heavy loading for first 5 rounds to have us the fittest team in finals. Goody and Selwyn = genius.

Time to go Goody?
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.

Time to go Goody?
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 .

PREGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon
Zero selection integrity.

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

Go and Get JUH
Probably the most talented player in the league but he does not care about footy.

Recruiting - where did it all go wrong
I can’t think of any player we have traded in that’s improved our team since the flag.

PODCAST: Rd 04 vs Geelong
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 .

New coach prospects
What are some of the fitness manager prospects too? Can’t play 4 quarters.
-
Time to go Goody?
The game plan Goody has implemented this pre season does not seem conducive to winning games.

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

PREGAME: Rd 04 vs Geelong
Our team this week will be significantly stronger . If we have a similar result it will be a deesaster.

Internal expectations
I think we would be playing way below expectation.

Time to start a rebuild?
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.

TRAINING: Tuesday 25 March 2025
So based on training we are playing against Melbourne Victory this weekend?

PODCAST: Rd 02 vs North Melbourne
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.

Demon supporters are pathetic…
I think Victoria is crying out for a smaller boutique stadium around 30k.
