Surely too early for Goodwin?

You would think so, even a few Adelaide supporters suggesting the same.

But who else? Tudor? Was seriously in the running last time round if the rumours are true.

Watch this space, especially if McKenna joins him.

Not sure but apparently better than being there in person.

Was hoping Dangerfield walked out, Sando stayed and we got Goodwin. Turns out Sando sacked, Goodwin a moral for Adelaide and Danger will stay.

What a silly decision!

They made the Prelim in his first year, FCS. Struggled last year without Tippett and Walker, then were unlucky not to make it this year in an even field.

Clearly the Crows brains trust are impatient and jealous of the success of Port Adelaide. They'll be back to square one when Goodwin doesn't yield better results next year.

Stupid decision he is the scapegoat for the clubs poor decisions, they were a kick away from a grand final berth he lost tippet and walker all last year, had no good draft picks because of the tippet saga and was forced to trade players like Bernie Vince to get back in the draft all stuff out of his control, a massive knee jerk reaction

New CEo from Canberra Rugby looks like a dumbo.Fagan

Sports admin has to be one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen.

As the admin grows, the sport,team,comp etc gets worse.

It wasn't broke and they tried to fix it.

Timing cant be accidental can it.

Don't underestimate how significantly destabilizing the whole club less than a month before trade week can play on player's minds.

Fascinating, irrational decision. Haven't a clue if this bodes well or poorly for us with the Danger rumors. Likewise Goodwin. Did they decide any apprentice good enough for Roos was simply too good to pass up? Did Danger tell them he wants out and this is a desperate attempt to keep Tex and Sloane from leaving? Hard to say just yet.

Sanderson sacked.

Melbourne lose Goodwin and Dangerfield at the final hour

#demonlyf

Seriously who saw this coming? Wow.

As someone else said, get the popcorn!

Yep! Disrupts our plans, but I accept that that's the price to pay for getting to watch an Adelaide trainwreck for a few weeks.

Article Here.

Seems there was a bit of friction between the coach and certain players. They don't come out and say it, but it sounds a hell of a lot like the club decided it was more important to keep the boys happy than keep the coach.

Happens a bit with teams in towns , without too many teams... All gets a bit incestuous etc.

I think the Crows are bloody mad for this. Watch them slide .

Sandersons sacking will become known as Fagans Folly!!

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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
