Goodwin's Law?

[Striker475 696]

Caro name-dropped Goodwin as the potential senior assistant...and thus the future coach at the MFC.

Source is RandB on BF....

For clarity, Simon Goodwin. Current senior assistant at Essendon, former Adelaide captain.

Who the [censored] is Goodwin?

A well known golfer.

[What 18,810]

In the texts, from July last year, Goodwin reportedly asks Dank to supply him with "the good stuff" and "good gear."

"Don't forget the good gear mate," Goodwin reportedly writes on a text sent to Dank on July 5, 2012.

One week later, Goodwin reportedly writes: "Sorry mate forgot to see you yesterday. Am heading to Adelaide today can you please bring some of the good stuff in buddy.

[Demonsterative 3,020]

Well then. Goodwin looks like a good culture setter then. I'm gonna start the "Bring back Neeld" campaign if this is true!

[Bitter but optimistic 22,241]

Thanks Red!

Would not be near the top of my list.

I don't like this.
I am leery of Bomber Thompson because of his game plan but I am more leery of Hird's yes men underlings.

[beelzebub 23,380]

ahhhh Caro .....

[binman 43,056]

Bomber would have a good sense if he has what it takes and I assume he would let roos know if he is.

Ticks a few boxes. Still young. Experience as an assistant, including a good stint under a premiership coach in bomber. Has he remained in the game since he retired playing?

Goodwins Law

We have one good win followed by a few beltings before the Demonland keyboard coaches become absolute Nazis.

Correction, Biff.

Goodwin's Law: if an online discussion goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare something to Andy Goodwin.

[dazzledavey36 54,955]

Damo Barrett confirmed that a big chance for assistant coaching next year and possibly take over from Roos.

[What 18,810]

Really hope this isnt true

[chook fowler 19,459]

Probably Julie Goodwin from MasterChef - assistant coach of the canteen.

[Leoncelli_36 2,264]

Barrett also been snooping demon land for info on Mitch Clark but then just making up that other clubs are in with a chance, god I hate that c...t

[Redleg 40,946]

Probably Julie Goodwin from MasterChef - assistant coach of the canteen.

Now you are talking. Diet is very important. Her lamingtons could be a winner.

Damo Barrett confirmed that a big chance for assistant coaching next year and possibly take over from Roos.

Now he's guessing, a big chance...so was Ling a month or so back.

[monoccular 17,432]

So just when did he start work with Jacques Merde at EssUndone?

Exact dates would be very critical were he to be considered at all, and if hh's text message quotes are true then he must be avoided at all costs.

[DeeSpencer 25,719]

I wouldn't think you'd negatively judge a coach for being sold some anti aging or weight loss wonder drug when you've already been conned in by a guy who's apparently doing miracles with your players.

I mean we've all drank the Paul Roos media savvy and hair without too much trouble. Maybe give Goodwin a chance.

Think about it if you were an assistant coach and Hirdy has brought Dank in to fine tune the players with 'evidence based' and 'cutting edge' science. Would you toss him out or would you take a few free supplement injections?

He was a fantastic player. He's had a valuable apprenticeship in what not to do under Hird in regards to off field stuff but also seen a pretty decent bomber side under Hird, he's then had a year under one of the recent great coaches.

The assistant coach pool is pretty low at the moment. I wouldn't write Goodwin off.

'Bring the good gear'...

Honestly, I don't care if he wins but if he can't get us going after Roos leaves he will have a torrid time as we will turn on him quicker than the laxative effect of the 'good gear' he was on...

That's the problem/risk/issue with the next coach - he needs to be able to withstand some pressure. Roos being around the club in an advisory capacity will help but won't shield that person entirely.

Goodwin would be on the back foot immediately.

Exactly

There is only one prospect that I can see and his contract with Hawthorn will be up by then.

The rest are apprentices.
