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.

Word is that the Crows threw the kitchen sink at him but he had already verbally agreed to be at Melbourne.

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.

Word also is that the club is totally stoked with the appointment. Rate Goodwin very highly.

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!

Will the presser be live on SEN? If not anyone know where?

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?

This is good.

Integrity and character cannot be under valued.

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: 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.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
