Analysis The Coach – Simon 'Standard Practice' Goodwin: It's time to go (for real this time)

[Fork n Hell]

We beat Geelong by 80ish points in the prelim in 2021
Our midfield that day was

Gawn, Oliver, Trac
Viney Langdon Brayshaw

There's was

Stanley Selwood Danger
I.Smith Duncan Guthrie

This year our midfield is

Gawn Oliver Trac
Viney Langdon Lindsay

There's was

De Koning Atkins O'Connor
B.Smith Holmes Dempsey

We haven't won a final since that year, they've won a flag and nearly made another GF aswell.

In short. We are ****ing boring

yeah, Goodwin still has an over reliance on Gawn, Oliver, Trac and Viney in the guts, and they inevitably ran out of legs again yesterday. he just doesn't learn. we could have traded one of the ball butchers in Oliver or Viney out last year if we were bold and looking to evolve, but we didn't.

and for some reason Goodwin still thinks Salem is a good player as well and tries to free him up as a distributor. he had 30 disposals yesterday for a grand total of one whole score involvement LOL. nothing ever comes from his boringly safe dinky little kicks, so what is the point of him. Goodwin has massive blind spots when it comes to some players. he's just a lazy coach and always has been, how he's survived two reviews unscathed has got me beat.

What about his 2 long and high bombs in the first quarter? Infuriating.

I think there is probably 10 teams in the comp that could be top 4, us included.

We're not a top 4 list. I'll have to disagree with that. So you're saying we have as good a list as Giants, Swans, Dockers, Hawks, Lions, Cats? Who are genuine AA chances for us this year? A 33yr old Gawn. Trac if his body holds up? Koz at a stretch.our depth is really poor and a forward half that lacks any massive threat. I think we're a middle of the table at best list.

Where did I say we have a top 4 list? The top 4 lists aren't the top 4 teams every year.

I'm interested to know where the club sees us. 5 first gamers says rebuild but they have definitely never said that.

I think the club sees us as holding the pen, writing the story and living in the gains

Goody anytime external criticism comes his way

"YES I AM INVINCIBLE!"

Sorry, we aren't a top 4 capable list. We are in that bracket that could finish anywhere between 7th and 16th. I just don't see how our list is capable of making top 4. Handful of very inexperienced players now in our best 23. Ageing stars. Oliver not near his best. Depth that is poor. I just don't see it.

Is that John Oliver?

Sure, why not.
