Opinion Non-Crows AFL 11

[George Kramer]

Have it on VERY good authority both Petracca and Oliver are still very disillusioned at Melbourne. VERY.

If they have another poor year and especially if Goodwin cracks, expect at least one (if not both) gone end of 2025.

Yeah that’s a club ready to implode

You could bank on one of them ending up at Geelong, after all they have the salary cap space to accommodate either of them.

EDIT

And the trade resources too. Late 1st or early 2nd will be their offer.

Can you fill me in on what the knock on Goodwin is specifically? Obviously there are issues at the club. Is is just a general thing like "the club is bad and has culture problems, something must be wrong with the coach", or is there something specific that Goodwin is being accused of?

I dont like the timing of Goodwin leaving Melbourne and Nicks in a pressure cooker year in 2025.

You really haven't heard anything?
He'd probably be the coach with the biggest question mark over his head in the comp.
Makes Clarko look like a Choir Boy!

Yeah, why i don't have the Dees going anywhere next season & expect it to be Goodwin's last

Think it already has to some extent.

Jobe Watson is the worst commentator I've ever heard in any sport. Can barely string a coherent sentence together let alone give any meaningful insights into football. The absolute dictionary definition of a nepotism hire

Might need a jab to perk him up

I know Goodwin himself is a bit shady and has his demons, no pun intended. From where I sit, he looks like a classic players coach that let things go too far and brought about a breakdown in club discipline.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Dwayne polling well there.

It's funny, he's one of the most hated commentators on BF yet he's well-regared outside of the forum. Make of that you will.

More passive football followers will only know the names of a handful of commentators and he's one of them

This could have a huge bearing on Pies ability to return to finals...

Crazy all the shit talk about Goodwin.

2021 - FLAG
2022 - 2nd on ladder.
2023 - 4th (lost their 2 finals by a combined 9 points)
2024 - 14th - 3 games clear of Adelaide.

In 2024 - he loses Brayshaw (4th in their 2023 B&F), Petracca 13 games and Oliver to shit form due to his issues.
Poor bloke effectively lost his engine room in 2024 and still finished above us.

Got the Sando luck of 2013. Can he rebound - it remains to be seen, but have zero idea why he has such a bad rep on this board.

Two of your best players want to walk out, only haven’t due to contract?
Would certainly take his results over the last couple of years though.
And it’s trend even John Who could work out.

Appears the wheels have fallen off & key players want out.

Taken from a premiership & best side to out of a premiership window very quickly.

If Dees struggle again next season, imo his time will be up.

Signs of a good coach that he retained them IMO. How many contracted players have walked out on us? He managed to keep them.

Would certainly take his results over the last couple of years though.

Well its not really.

2021 - 17 wins top 4.
2022 - 16 wins top 4.
2023 - 16 wins top 4.

As a club - that is what you need to aspire to. Top 4 position and hope you are fit / healthy and get the luck of the Irish come September.

His outlier is 2024 - where he lost Brayshaw (unexpected on the eve of the season), had Petracca play 13 games and Oliver a shell of himself.
