Is Goodwin safe?

Featured Replies

Goodwin will stay he said his life was in Melbourne now in an interview last year, would be really disappointed if he left

 

Water tight or not what would PJ and company do if he came to them tomorrow and said " I have been offered the Adelaide job and I would like to be released"

Would be say No you have a contract and force him to stay at the MFC when his heart clearly wanted go back to SA.

I would have him out so fast his nose would bleed.

Yes but I bet big penalties would be involved

Adelaide would pay them they are not short of cash.

 

I would think we will need to hear something from Goodwin in next few days or there may be substance in talk.

I strongly feel he will come out shortly and confirm his Melbourne commitment

Nah he wants to gain experience and improve/ prove himself before heading home as the saviour one day . Won't happen now and if it does we made the wrong call to appoint him and will be better off without .


If Adelaide use recent tragedy to lure Goodwin back or even call him. I'd be [censored] off.. Even if it seems poor taste.

You had your chance Crows and you fluffed it.

Theyd be better off trying roosy.

 

After coaching this club his future coaching prospects will be zero.

Not a bad point...who was the last MFC Senior coach to get the top job at another club after their time at the Dees?

After we beat Geelong he was the messiah again, after losing to the Bombers he's back to being a very naught boy.....

John Northey went on to coach Richmond and then Brisbane Bears/Lions.

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.

Got some Melbourne links too, does Luke. I wish we'd gone after Luke too, but I'll reserve judgement on Goody.

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

I hope he has some inventiveness like Clarkson and Beveridge. The really top coaches are always the one's that push the envelope with new tactics and game plans.


If worst comes to worst we could always go for Andy Goodwin, former Dee and now Wandin plumber! One tough unit he is/was!

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
