Jeez sorry SusanI said 'it's a start'.
Obviously If Goodwin doesn't want to change anything then nothing will change. If we're stuck on that point then why bother even talking about it anymore?
He looks like a good prospect. What has you thinking he could be as good or better than Petracca? 15 years or more? You seem to be pretty negative on all our older proven stars now they are hitting or approaching 30's but confident and unproven draft pick is going to be going around in mid-30's?Who needs 29 year old banged up Petracca when you can have 18 year old fresh Petracca with 15 years in him. (And more).

Might be nothing changes from this but it's a start. We're not going to sack Goodwin so we desperately need some fresh ideas and pressure on Goodwin to try something different.

When did Petracca start making a difference in games? Took him a few years to get going. If he was next Daicos or Ashcroft (I e. make a difference year 1) he would be number 1 with a bullet and that would have been established last year.
I'm all for young fresh talent. Leg speed and agility in particular.This is because our older proven stars play boring as bat shit footy and are moving past there prime. If we are out of the 8 and they are all past there prime then the only way we are going to improve our list is through bringing in new young fresh talent. Not by having more of the same.
It doesnt really work like that, the head coach is responsible for the overall philosophy. All depends on how much feedback Goody is willing to take on from new people and an openness to change. Instead of celebrating what we do well next year it would be nice to celebrate change.I would agree as the current style is based more on contest and defence. Hiring a forward coach with an attacking philosophy should change this.

Stafford always felt like a yes man so happy to see one of Goody's crew gone regardless.
Im expecting McQualter to be gone also, he and Stafford were the two obvious scapegoats.
Melksham if he doesn't play on.Losing Stafford: Good or Bad?
Who replaces him?
We’ve had some practiceWe're gonna bottom out right when Tassie come in aren't we.
I'd welcome another Jimmy Toumpas with open arms and open heartWe’ve had some practice
Hiring from within should be the last thing we do.Melksham if he doesn't play on.
Yep. Need fresh eyes. It's why I suggested Buddy, Tommahawk or Jack Riewoldt. Maybe even Matthew Lloyd .Hiring from within should be the last thing we do.
Correct... but his flip-out handballs that go up in the air toward team-mates, or the ones that give off when he's HOT, to team-mates, who is also under the pump... stink.Hardly worse than Viney and Trac though.
Not so much... IF we can do a deal with a trade of AN-B and our future 1st Rnd pick, for Houston problems. kit and caboodle.I’m still nervous about Houston.
Lever interview from this morning. Trac discussion starts around the two-minute mark:
Totally.... free agents and draft picks are the way to go.Agree, if we are going to bring in some young players and develop them right we have more chance with Viney and Gawn around to set an example around the club and on the training track.
I'm ok with us bringing in a 24-27 year old that is best 18, good clubman, good trainer etc as long as it is via free agency or later picks.
Thanks Staffo, for all your help over the years. Helping to get us a flag; even tho it was played the other side of the country, in lock-down.
They probably give information to a few but not all - some of the info is pretty private.I think it's a bit odd for Lever to say the question was when Trac went to Noosa and not at the club 'Where's Trac?' Pretty sure they would have known that he took some leave. You would have to have a pretty low emotional intelligence to not understand that after two horrible stints in hospital a person would need to have a break.
