It was basically our coaches and admin in self-preservation mode. Bringing him in might get us an extra win or 2 this season keeping them in the job that little bit longer.

They don’t care about 5 years away when they don’t expect to be around anymore.

Most decisions being made seem to be of this effect at the moment.
See it all the time across every sport, when you bring back a lame duck coach nothing but bad things can happen.

yeah I agree 100%. I also believe that there were many posters here frothing at getting Houston. I'll never understand it? Like ever. But the same fans who wanted Houston are now saying that we need to do a full rebuild. Like it's a bit frustrating.

If we got Houston, it would've been catastrophic.

Please find at least two people saying this.
 
Goodwin needs to drop Viney or play him as a defensive forward and give Windsor and Langford at least 60-70% midfield time.

When Tholstrups back tell him that Viney or Sparrow's spot is up for grabs if he wants it.

Our senior players have been absolutely dogshit and not impacting games. Let them know that we're making way for the next era and see if they feel like giving a shit then.
Tholstrup is hungry and a bull. Once he's fit watch him rip open games.

He's been a bit of a disappointment for mine. Haven't watched too closely but I expected a bit more.

If Trac, Koz and Windsor can't rip games open for us I struggle to see how borderline best 22 player like Tholstrup will. 😂
Where does he even play. Our midfield is humming right now, he's not going to dislodge champions like Oliver and Viney out of there.

Tholstrup really struggled with the step up in pace (speed of decision making more than foot speed) last year.

Maybe he’s addressed that over the off season but I reckon it’s something he can probably only adjust to in AFL level games. If he can adjust. Some players can’t.

Thank god we have a coach who knows what he's doing coz I don't know, quite the dilemma.
 
Get what you're saying but reckon Langford will start doing that earlier than most (Not this year).
Yeah I'm talking exclusively about us playing Goody ball where talent is completely wasted.

For sure. I think a midfield of Langford/Lindsay/Windsor is actually super promising and should be built around, but nothing matters until we change the coach.
 
Not sure if I read it somewhere with trading Oliver. I think if we want trade value we would have to pay a fair chunk of his salary or trade him for way under. Trac I would imagine is different because he's low risk. Shouldn't have signed viney, let him go like what Sydney did with parker. What's Salem's contract situation?, reckon we might be able to get something for him based on the perception he's an elite kick.
 
Watching the Freo Dogs game.

Given Darcy would be ungettable, Treacy would be the player in the league I’d want Melbourne to throw everything at. Goodwin game plan aside, Treacy would be a game changer. Strong, aggressive, can play CHF or as a deep forward, usually a great kick (not so much today) and can relief ruck too.

Signed a long term deal last year IIRC.

Yes he did, but that doesn’t mean the question can’t be asked. More saying he’s just the sort of player Melbourne are crying out for.

Plus it looks like he’s won me $35 on a $3 wager so I’m feeling positive about him!
