Is Goodwin safe?

Buckley is going pretty well imo.

I don't mind him as a coach.

Buckley is close to my favourite part of AFL 360

    I think it would be in his best interests to stay at Melbourne. He's getting the apprenticeship he needs and has the capacity to build and grow his own squad. They'd need to offer him $1 million a year for him to move, which they won't do and would be stupid to. If he were to go to Adelaide it would be the romantic factor. I don't think he'll go. He'd be silly to.

    I much prefer to listen to Buckley than Roos.

    That's because Roos has been Melbourne'd. One and a half seasons is all it takes for your opinion and skill level to be put into question.

    I agree. I always assumed his figjam moniker was fairly close to the mark but he comes across as forthright, pragmatic and intelligent.

    He answers questions sensibly and honestly without falling into the AFL cliched nonsense that you get from most

    Actually he was a terrible media performer before he came to Melbourne.

    Yes, Roos has always been so wistful and vague when talking to 'journalists' - I am sure he is different with the players - they don't come out of the rooms confused and frustrated...

    No that's the domain of the supporters

    Goodwin has already turned the Crows down once, stating that he as "too far up the path with the MFC".

    Well, he's even further up the path now and even with the circumstances with which the Crows are looking for a coach, I cannot see Goodwin back-flipping that much and leaving.

    I get that he's a favourite son of AFC and the emotional attachment between club and player must still be very strong however, he's a young coach that will probably have a career in coaching that spans several clubs.

    He'll stay.

    Pre-emptive strike from Roosy?

    Roosy must be hoping like hell that Goodwin is staying. I imagine that coaching the MFC in mid winter is a kind of hell compared to enjoying the warm rays of sunshine that Hawaii has to offer.

    Buckley has grown on me. He started out a bit defensive, but he is pretty straight down the line now.

    Roos tends to dance around questions or play the straight bat.

    U can just c it happening.

    At the end of the season Goodwin says sorry fellas given the circumstances I've got to help my old club out.

    It's the Melbourne way.

    Wonder what would happen then apart from the implosion that would occur here on DL.

    Would Roos stay longer???

    In all honesty nothing surprises me about this club any more

    That appeared to be more directed at the actual 'clubs' not taking contracts seriously and allowing the coaches time to effect any change.

    Hadn't considered it to be the other way about... Doubt it though.

    Forgive me for this, but what's so good about Goodwin anyway?

    Yes, we've put 9 months of development in to him and it would set us back a little if he left, but what has he done to date to suggest he is worthy of two years of hand holding plus a three year senior coach's contract?

    Particularly by way of comparison to Luke Beveridge who was available at the same time, has a much better coaching pedigree and has been super impressive to date.

    fair point he is untested as a senior coach no different than a young player with potential.

    Im not worried if we lose Goodwin, Id love to get Stuart Dew as senior assistant

    Im more annoyed the Crows showing zero class and trying to screw with our own plans

    Until they sign someone else, it's always a possibility due to the emotion involved. Whether or not he had a tie with Phil Walsh himself, he would feel for his old club at this time and if they came to him talking "family first" and telling him how much they need him at this time, then perhaps he will change his plans to re-join them.

    From all reports it would be a loss for us, but we heard great reports and references about our last couple of coaches too.

    Given the circumstances, I definitely wouldn't hold it against him.

    Goodwin came super highly recommend by bomber Thompson, apparently the bombers players loved him, brilliant mind/match day coach and commands respect

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
