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

Just had dinner with a mate who sponsors the Dons.

Said he had a night out with Goodwin a while back, along with Hird et ors.

Said Goodwin presented as a top bloke and a thoroughly impressive potential future senior coach and that the entire Essendon coaching staff absolutely rated him, including James Turd.

We must get him.

A couple of interesting paragraphs from separate articles in the Age. Do the sums and draw your own conclusions....

While all parties have denied a deal has been done, Adelaide is also expected to formalise the appointment of player agent Justin Reid to the club by November.

The Elite Sports Properties agent and son of former Crows football boss John Reid appears certain to assume the role of Adelaide list manager, a move that has raised eyebrows at rival clubs, given Reid's current role.

The Sanderson sacking also surprised the coach's management, the influential Elite Sports Properties, which had been preparing to meet with Sanderson on Friday and had been heavily involved in the conversations between Goodwin and Melbourne. Goodwin was the frontrunner to become senior assistant under Roos, in which he would be in pole position - or have an outright guarantee - of the senior position once Roos finishes at the end of 2016. Like Sanderson, he is managed by Craig Kelly's ESP.

The guy who predicted Roos to Dees, Tony Sheahan, just said on twitter that Goodwin to Crows is a done deal?

He also was the first person to say Franklin was going to Sydney, when everyone was sure he was going to GWS.

As good a source as there is at this time of year IMO.

Adelaide's done a Brisbane and sacked its coach to ensure it gets the one that's available before he signs with Melbourne. Only this time they've managed to do it in time.

Must have the hacking thing down pat after working at the Hun.

I don't know ... would the Crows go down the 'inexperienced' coach route just after sacking the last one? I get it that Goodwin is a favourite son, but especially if there are issues with senior players, surely they need a "senior" coach?

Let's remember that Goodwin was still going to have 2 years under Roos before taking over at Melbourne.

Too soon?

Sorry, I don't quite understand your post ... Sheahan just said on twitter that "Goodwin to Crows is a done deal?" Is that a question or statement?

Great comment RJ!.

How could we entertain Goodwin after the Bombers saga. Who leaked the info to Riccuito last year etc?

Favourite sons don't work necessarily - Voss, Hird, Barassi, Bucks. Good luck with this Crows.

Who are/were the top 4 coaches now - Clarko, Scott boys, Longmire, Hinkley, Roos, Hafey, Jeans, Northey, Balme, Daniher etc. Professionals.

Jackson and Roos will get the job done re: succession.

Don't think anyone saw this coming...

This is my view on it -

Over 10 days ago Goodwin and MFC had verbally agreed on the senior assistant position. Even so he'd told Essendon he was moving on..

Meanwhile, Sanderson was offering up for trade the senior players, Dangerfield and Tex, as he thought the current list wasn't capable of making top 4.

This upset a lot of the leadership group, Ricciuto and the board. Fearing backlash from the supporters, the only way to stop Sando was to to sack him.

No doubt Goodwin has been approached by AFC some time this week and asked if he would be interested in the role.

It's by no means a done deal, but he's now got a big decision make.

The sacking of Sanderson has thrown a massive spanner in the works.

So much so, only yesterday, Roos was jetting off to Hawaii with Goodwin and Dangerfield a fait accompli

Well everyone was saying Goodwin to us was a done deal Monday, so either he's done a shifty on us or people are jumping to conclusions.

wait.... are you suggesting that posters on here jump to conclusions ? For shame......

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
