Yes, this year has been a bit of a shocker for a variety of reasons, but there have been a number of coaches who have had years like this and bounced back not long after. I'll back Goody in to do the same.  Lets face it much of the criticism he cops in this thread is related to some perceived notion his game plan doesn't stack up. Who knows that may prove to be the case. Or it may not. There are too many things that went wrong this year to make an accurate judgement on a that. Opinion, yes, reliable assessment no.  It will be interesting to wacth the tigers as they progress towards the finals. They have the most analogous game plan to ours and are rolling along nicely and with their lat six games at the G are a real chance at top 0 and with that winning a flag. Like us they made a prelim lat year and of course won the flag the previous year. As evidence of a game plan working that's not bad.

The Tiges game plan has changed, and anyway you can't relate them to us.  Different game plan and different mix of personnel.  They lost a prelim badly and made changes.  We lost ours badly and stuck with the same.  Our game plan doesn't stack up...it's there for all to see.  It's an accurate assessment backed up by where we sit on the ladder now.  The ladder doesn't lie...  You could see it last year in the Prelim, not just this year.  If we go into next year playing the same brand of footy we are f......

So we can win the ball and get it inside 00 plenty but as we all know this year that hasn't converted into winning scores, nor efficient scores in general.  I think teams figured this out watching our losing games last year that the way to beat us was to almost let us get the ball in there, and repeat entry the hell out of it, with the view that one quick kick or handball to a running player out of our forward 00, would result in an easy goal out the back.  I think teams have figured out how to play us better and as such we need to adapt our game style.  Whether this is a result of the 0-0-0 rule I don't know, but 000 sure is an evil number.....
