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.

Surely we could do better.

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

One wonders how much discussion took place between Bomber and Roosy. My guess is that Bomber was fundamental in making this happen, just a feeling.

When I had a stint in the SANFL couple of years ago I became good mates with Jason Torney former tiger and Crow. I remember he said Goodwin and Recuito were the masters of Mad Monday and both could enjoy a drink.

But all in all he spoke very highly of Goodwin as a leader and mentor to alot of the players. He really is a people person. The reports of Sanderson not being able to connect with players. Well Goodwin is the complete opposite. The Essendon players absolutely loved him just ask Jobe Watson.

Players will love playing for this bloke.

Fined for betting in Adelaide.

Involved in Essendons drug fiasco.

Puhlease! Don't rewrite history with the integrity BS.

As long as he is a good coach, and a good addition to PR and MFC, then that should be enough. Let's not canonise him!

Okay, so yet another assistant coach, presumably on decent money. The amount of money we've spent on coaching panels in the past two years for a grand total of 6 wins is mind blowing.

Is Goodwin replacing one of our existing assistants, or is he just added to the pile?

Used us as bait to get the job he really was after at the crows.

Just like he texted to Dank : "Get me the good stuff"

Goodwin - Get ya good medicine and go and get stuffed you self absorbed [censored]

So you're a bit of an idiot then...

I posted a while back in one of the threads on this topic as well.

I would have thought that he was going to replace another of our coaches, not sure who that might be though.

Just heard an extract of the press conference and I was very impressed:

- has been talking with Dees for about 5 weeks

- believes he needs the 2 years apprenticeship to fully prepare for senior coach.

- Can learn a lot from Roos

- really wants to be part of the 'sustainable success' plan the Dees have in place (i think we will hear the words 'sustainable success' a lot more in future)

- had a call from someone at AFC last night to see where he was at with Dees and said he was committed

Sounded very calm and assured Spoke very well.

Liked him.

So did the Crows dump Sanderson with the hopes of signing Goodwin or was Sanderson going to go no matter what?

It's cruel however I hope they fired him thinking Goodwin was going to jump at the chance to coach AFC.

The media conference is not on SEN for some reason.

It's on our website under the twitter part.

Not sure why SEN didn't run with it could have sworn they said they would go live with it.

Oh well it's still enjoyable.

the main thing I take away from this appointment is the pulling power of PJ and Roos. They make stuff happen.

Think we may see even further evidence of that in the draft period.

It sends all the right messages re stability, direction etc.

Makes Chips comments about wanting good evidence of direction before signing sound even more disingenuous.

I like what he has had to say. He is happy for a long apprentiship and has signed a five-year contract. Year one as an assistant working with Roos, year two as a more senior role and years 3-5 as senior Coach. Goodwin is impressed by Melbourne's clear plan and looking forward to the role. Roos said that this was the plan when he extended the third year [so that he could have two years grooming Goodwin.] By all accounts, their philosophies are very close. I think that this is a great move for the Club, right up thier with Roos, Jackson and Tyson!

Maybe Mitch and Chip may now want to reconsider jumping ship whilst it is still in dry-dock ready to launch itself for a premiership? I hope Dangerfield and the Homesick GWS star all watch the Press interview!

I think it was because Jon Ralph was busy on the air committing credibility suicide.

Supposedly The Age's announcement on Goodwin's appointment!

Did they quote Roos? No!

Did they quote Goodwin? No!

They quoted Hird!

Of all people! While it was good to hear praise of our new coach this is all about MFC. Nothing to do with that obnoxious person!

Not one word from the MFC side!! Grrrrrrrrrr!

Almost everybody who was right on this had no source, so not making fun of anyone who was wrong in the last 24 hours. But the last five pages of this thread may be the greatest thing in the history of demonland.

    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
