Many have said things and if they don't happen or aren't true they will never post again. Never have stayed true to their word.

Range Rover (to his credit) did leave, he kinda even threw his own funeral/wake with nice (and many not so nice) comments from the rest of us.

Although i am suspect of his resurrection through some people on here...

I've been wondering where he went to.

Love this ... @paigecardona: So as news broke about Goodwin to Melbourne, Jon Ralph is on air swearing black and blue he's heading to Adelaide. #jernerlism

Nothing like the end of a season to re-ignite a demon supporters excitement and enthusiasm in football!

Word is that the Crows threw the kitchen sink at him but he had already verbally agreed to be at Melbourne. Word also is that the club is totally stoked with the appointment. Rate Goodwin very highly

Goodwin will be announced very soon. Possibly this week.

In keeping with our long and storied history of problem gamblers.

I think it's the lack of respect for the people involved that always bugs me about this sort of humour. Imagine I'm alone on this one.

Sam McClure reports Simon Goodwin is close to becoming Melbourne's senior assistant to Paul Roos, and will succeed him as coach in 2017.

This can only be positive. There must be a clause that either party can pull the pin if succession doesn't feel right after two years.

Must be - but it would cost heaps not just in $$'s but in credibility - if we have any left !

Be interesting to see whether it leads to any sort of fallout amongst our present assistant coaches. Rawlings who became Roos' senior assistant will effectively get demoted the day Goodwin arrives. Even if Rawlings has no aspirations to go higher , he'll need to quickly come to respect the new man or his job satisfaction/motivation will disappear pretty quickly

As I said before replace the term "Essendon" with " a Finals team" in his pedigree and it reads very well !!

I know that Goodwin was an excellent player and on-field leader- probably underrated here in Victoria and he must have been an impressive new retiree to get the gig at Essendon in the first place. Clearly Bomber Thompson must have given Roos the thumbs up - and Craig must hold him in high regard . Not sure but might have been Bernie Vince's first AFL captain as well.

Unfortunately I struggle to see anyone associated with Essendon as the blue -eyed boy we are going to build our future on - but I'll put that behind me if Roos gives him the nod.

The name "Party Boy" fits a troll well - but I wouldn't be surprised if he's proved right.

Heard the same from a well known player agent at a lunch at the MCG yesterday.

Christian Salem was also there. Heading OS next week with Josh Kelly....Asked him about the Goodwin thing, he knew nothing of it.

Think you are on the money Party Boy

I would have liked Brett Ratten to be in the mix. Proven that he did good things with Carlton even if he was chased out of there for Mick. Now working under Clarko.

Presume they would have sounded him out and were declined?

Tune into the footy show for some news on Goodwin from that nutter Barrett.

Tune in to hear some paraphrasing of content ripped from the pages of Demonland!

Looks like Bluey McKenna might be in trouble - another one of Micks golden boys might join Neeld and Watters on the side lines.

Elaborate please..

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
