100% Goodwin plays players into the ground. 2022 finals the biggest example. We were absolutely cooked in that finals series.

"he was at Chadstone with his friends, as if he can't play a game of AFL football"Goodwin:

Digging into the why
Once again club completely misses the point that a cursory glance at the way Petracca was moving showed he was not right at all.
Goodwin really does look like that.Goodwin:
Horribly mismanaged. By the club, AFL and Trac really. I have zero faith in anyone at the club getting anything right atm. Bit of a shambles really.
Ahh OK, then we'll take Dusty.
It wouldn't be a profit making venture by design. At least on matchdays.
Thru the weekdays, then maybe, open sports clinics.

I knew the press conference today would tilt me but I still watched it anyway. Goody sitting up there with that stupid grin on his face and the "all the people questioning our doctors arent doctors" line wound me right up, yes im not a doctor, but even I said there is some bad internal injuries there, ship him off to hospital for scans the moment it happened. You should hire me as the club doctor you fukwit Simon.
I mean there's no way this model is good use of public funds. The AFL would have to run it.

A CT scanner would cost maybe a couple of $Mill, but a one off cost say every 9/10 years, plus maintenance.
After that every ground a game is on, should have ultrasound machines within a home ground medical facility. as a minimum. Cost minimal in the cost of a stadium.
A couple of attendant physicians to be backed up by Mica Ambos. that should be able to run this facility as a Pre Hospital ER.

Digging into the why
Every ground should be equipped with a state of the art private hospital complete with emergency department, ICU, infectious diseases ward and a maternity ward.
With the women's comp you never know if a player will go into labour halfway through a game.
With the women's comp you never know if a player will go into labour halfway through a game.
And what happens when the CT shows internal damage requiring surgery? Will this facility also have surgeons, or are we rolling this skillset into these two positions which can run the equivalent of a major trauma centre?
Or will the patient be transported to a hospital for treatment? May as well transport the patient to the hospital to get the scan in the first place.
There's nothing wrong with the current medical model. Petracca received a POCUS (point of care ultrasound) at the ground I'm led to believe, which showed no major bleeding. All the uproar about Trac being sent back on is classic Captain Hindsight crap. Sure it was obvious he was in a lot of pain, but broken ribs alone explain that. Once he tried to play and reported more symptoms which could not be explained by broken ribs, he was sent to hospital.
I've ruptured my spleen, it took hours and multiple different scans and tests in the ED to diagnose it. People need to chill.

Thats the whole point, its done so much earlier than before transporting in the Ambo. The Mica ambos would be a part of that diagnosis, and if a critical emergency, the air ambulance could land on the oval... or just outside the ground IF necessary.
Otherwise immediate transfer by the Mica ambulance to the nearest trauma hospital. With the Mica team having been part of the diagnosis, helps them to know what to do.
If some in the crowd has a major stroke, or major bleed, like an embolism or other, this facility would be a life saver.
Or someone falls backward down the steps and cracks they're head open, (similar to a coward punch injury), this facility would have paid for itself, it it saved just one person in a 12 month period.
-------------------------
The two house medics would be like the registrar at an major trauma ward, and one an assistant skilled in the operation of the CT equipment.
This would be all backed up by the Mica Ambo's out watching the game, before they were called into action.
So the ER as its swung into action, would then be staffed by the 2 house ER medics, with support from 2 or 3 Mica Paramedics.
I imagine there would be two ambulances attending the MCG and Marvel matches, on game-days.
Hell, why not build an ambulance base within the major grounds building structures. Huge populated places like these grounds are where emergencies can happen.
I'm sure the police have they're own rooms within the grounds. Well, even better to have the ambulances based similarly.

I agree with you utterly.
I just had to comment that your description of the act of love there reminds me that you are a true romantic

Firstly, his media skills are top tier.
Secondly, to be honest I did not read that from the interview about them being pissed at the club. Rather just angry at the situation.
If there is an issue, that you believe exists, it will come out (be it he moves away from Melbourne OR Goodwin goes).

He's a gem isn't he, Petracca? He's too good for this shit club.

Think how good he could have been for a club that didn't play boring ****ing shit defensive footy. Hed have bags of 6 and 7s by now
if he was given Dustys license and he was even a 20% better kick we'd be looking at an absolute all timer.
