If we are getting all worked up over semantics I won’t go to deeply into disagreeing with most of your points but was surprised you think Viney Salem and Harmes have all improved under Goodwin, can’t agree with that. Facts are he was gift wrapped a list that was being hugely hyped and has won about 45% of he’s games in charge in 3 and a half years, I believe that to be a putrid effort.
Having said that I dearly hope he turns it around as it appears we are stuck with him for the next 18 months but I’m not holding my breath.
maybe instead of spewing out “he has won under 50% of his games” fact. Dig a little deeper, think some more and analyse some things he is not going well. Right now you sound like a fan booing at the top of his lungs because you can’t think of anything to say.
For example;
Sides seemed to go coast to coast on us very easily, a lot of talk about lack of wingers, run, spread to many at the contest all valid points. But one thing that killed us was our ground balls inside 50m, we just didn’t retain enough footy inside our forward 50. when the ball hits the ground inside 50m there is were you can attack and defend.
Win the disputed footy and it could generate a shot on goal or another stoppage. the last thing you want is the ball spitting out of your 50m and youve got your 6 defenders against 9 opponents ain’t 2/3 of a ground to defend.
Recruiting Pickett will help this, hopefully Spargo finds his 2018 form. There was a favouring of a smaller more mobile forward line in round 1.
