I like Gus, but with the level of revisionism amongst fans and people at the club, he's on track to be remembered as Michael Voss-like within a few years.Ive really enjoyed Goody bringing up Brayshaw whenever possible and using that as an excuse while claiming its not an excuse this year. Have heard him mentioned a few times in press conference after a loss this year.
We're missing him a bit, because I'd definitely rather have him in the team over Bowey, Salem or Sparrow.Ive really enjoyed Goody bringing up Brayshaw whenever possible and using that as an excuse while claiming its not an excuse this year.

Who did we get thumped by? I think it changed around the Geelong game.
The chip kick game style was not going to do the trick when all the good teams have moved on to transition football. That style of football hasn't worked since the Hawks era. Same goes for the high press gameplan Goodwin has had for most of his tenure. You can't score and just get destroyed once the opposition gets it over your defensive line.Somewhere around WC/Freo losses.
Was evident we could get wins with that game style but not consistently enough for a flag.
All you need is they fleet footed carriers, like ... ummThe chip kick game style was not going to do the trick when all the good teams have moved on to transition football.

The stand rule basically begs for teams to break lines with run and carry which Goodwin has refused to even try.
There's this thing called a handball.All you need is they fleet footed carriers, like ... umm
Not the way we do it . Probably works a treat at training, tends to fall apart under pressure .There's this thing called a handball.
The stand rule alleviates a players lack of pace pretty much, we go back behind the mark and wait for bigs to get into place and bomb it to a pack.All you need is they fleet footed carriers, like ... umm
You have to give a little to get a little. If you cheat forward with players ahead of the ball you have more options when the pressure comes.Not the way we do it . Probably works a treat at training, tends to fall apart under pressure .
and i think it's less taxing on the players. the season has never been longer than it is now, and the contest style game becomes less effective the more banged up you get.You have to give a little to get a little. If you cheat forward with players ahead of the ball you have more options when the pressure comes.
There are strengths and weaknesses to every gameplan but faster ball movement has been in vogue the past couple of years for good reason. It's far easier to pull off now than it was a few years ago.
I agree . It also requires the coaches to embrace it , and pick a team that can do it .You have to give a little to get a little. If you cheat forward with players ahead of the ball you have more options when the pressure comes.

He really needs his own thread so Micho can argue with himself.Why are we still talking about Tim Lamb?
Of course a numpty with the name Dee Fence would like Goodwins style. Keeping a team under 70 points and kicking a couple more points than them ourselves, ohhhhh yeahhhhNever has anyone been more right
No disharmony at the club. Just players punching on in public places, one guy supplying Bolivian marching powder for the entire club (though you could argue this is team-building I guess), drunken B&F speeches, a coach with well documented substance and gambling issues, multiple lawsuits going on in the background, an inner circle of favourites that gets picked every week their despite levels of performance, a player that nearly died on field, got put back out there and then didn't get ruled out for the season, despite he himself saying he's months away, the supposed drug test cover-ups and anything to do with Clayton Oliver.Never has anyone been more right
