On Twitter just now Mick Warner from HS reporting Sando and Goodwin have the same management company and that Goodwin is NOT going to the Crows.

Well I don't think the Crows would be sacking their coach like this with 2 years left on his contract unless there's a Ross-Lyon-to-Freo type plan in place.

Surely they already know what they're doing?

Or alternatively, they're the 2013 Brisbane Lions...

Mind you, as bad as this might look, Justin Leppitsch was probably the lowest profile assistant available, looked a pretty lacklustre appointment at the time... and has done wonders for the Lions.

Good recruiting has helped, but I think he's been better than most would have imagined.

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

Alternatively, the crows might actually have no one necessarily lined up, but Sanderson may have got the senior players offside as rumoured.

That's actually a much more sensible reason for making such a drastic, sudden and ruthless move.

Question is, what could he have done to get them offside so much?

Thinking about it, I think Crows must be in talks with a few potentials. If Goodwin was interested and they were interested, surely he wouldn't have met and presented to the board two days ago or yesterday if he had intentions of going to the Crows. You meet with the board with the intention of signing on.

It seems weird. Unless the Crows have no plans. Weird. This happened to us when they sacked Voss and I was so sure we lost Roos.

Nice deductions. Much sense in there. Footy's a funny place though.

Don't downplay the influence Ricciuto has on this decision. Was recently appointed to the board, thinks he is god's gift to the AFC and wants most things done his way. Passionate no doubt, but to the benefit of the AFC? Time will tell.

Ricciuto is calling the shots, Goodwin is the new Crows coach you can back that one in.

They couldn't afford to let him go to Melbourne, he's a favourite son like Buckley.

Geez, if that is true, we really aren't having a great month are we? Making Roos look like quite the fool.

This club has been made to look like fools long before Roos, and sadly it seems nothing will change.

Doesn't make Roos look the fool - if the bloke holds off on making a decision because he knows a head coaching job will be available now, and he wants to be a senior coach now, then there is nothing wrong with that. There will be other guys in the pipeline that we have been interviewing, and there has been nothing more than rumours about him actually getting the job anyway.

Don't think Nostradamus could have predicted this turn of events. Can't see how it reflects badly on Roos.

Good coaches seem quite thin on the ground.

It may work out that we can make a play for Clarkson when Roos finishes. It's the wort of challenge PJ would love.

Not sure where it leaves The Dangerfield situation. If he was agitating for change it would be difficult for him to walk now.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
