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

Good get - Bomber scathing of Adelaide this morning.

Well, Sando was an assistant to Bomber through his great run at Geelong, and have been very close since.

Bomber's a little bit nuts, but he's mostly loyal to his boys.

Besides, he's very happy in Melbourne.

i'll be mightily [censored] off if all he gets asked is about Adelaide in the press conference.

be prepared to half mightily [censored] off as those questions sell papers.

Seems to be a "man of his word" which is a bloody good start.

Hopefully he is a great coach for us.

I'm quite stoked this has happened.. However looking at the Adelaide forums on Bigfooty posters are saying it's a 'blessing' they avoided him. From all reports I've heard he is a great coach and has all the potential to have an impact as a head coach. But does anyone know or heard how good he actually is? What are his traits, strengths, etc? Would be great to know more about Goodwin if anyone has further information on his coaching abilities.

Thanks!

seems we have 2 years to see & work out.

He's also very happy to be coaching with Paul Roos. This was the clincher more than money.

Roos is worth every cent

Seems like a man of integrity as well (unlike a few who have already, or are about to depart the Demons for big dollars ....... and uttered nothing but B/S all the way to the bank).

Well done Simon Goodwin, and congratulations PG and all others involved in his recruitment. The times they are a change'n at Melbourne, and I'm bloody stoked!

Me too. I wouldn't know a good coach if one kicked me in the crotch, but he apparently has shown promise and the plan seems sound.

It also feels nice not to get screwed over, which it looked like we might for a while last night.

Just a hunch, but if someone does that to you I'd predict they're probably not a good coach. Hope that helps.

I'm happy with this....But, I was sorta hoping for either Dew or Kirk.

Oh well, with PR and PJ I have faith in the people making this decision.

Not something we usually associate with the Melbournefc, Good to see.

I for one am bloody stoked and can't wait to see what he can bring to the club!

Im pretty happy with it.

I wonder if this appointment coupled with sandos departure could make melb a more appealing destination for current adelaide players?

i suppose if you think about it, would you rather coach at your old club with some experience when you know you could've adopted a wealth of knowledge from one of the games best coaches then gone on to put those in practice.
I think what I'm saying is this move to melbourne is also in the best interest of his career.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
