Simon Goodwin

Bloke at work...Grandmother of Judd

Someone who passed someone in the street

Lovely anecdotal stuff ..but  reminds me of horse tips !!

 

I'll wait to see how it all pans out.  I hope he can coach...and well.

Talk about a lame post.

I recall exactly the same stuff being written when they appointed Dean Bailey & Mark Neeld. 

Only one way to measure Goodwin & that is on field results.  Anything else is B/S.

Let's not forget that he's part of the current coaching group that has been unable to stop our roll over merchants from throwing in the towel every time an opponent physically challenges them. What's going to change when he becomes head coach? If the players love him so much then why are they still prepared to put so much embarrassment on the club, coaches and supporters by being the softest group in the comp?

Sometimes.

I think you like a lot of posters have a bit of selective memory happening here. In the 2015 season we started to address this problem and when sides came back at us we steadied and then pushed on for the win...sometimes, not always of course and there were some bad results. This is part of a growing team.

I'm not as concerned about this now with the turnover of the list, the quality of kids in the team and the maturity of the FD...it sure was a problem though.

Shows the split of poster mindsets on this forum. Someone mentioning wada and another comparing the situation to Neeld just because a poster has heard Goodwin is well liked and respected by the other coaches and the playing group. 

I love hearing this sort of stuff. It's the offseason, what else would you want to hear? You can't win games of footy in December so if you care enough to continue posting on your footy team's forum, surely you'd rather be hearing this than the energywatch saga or someone doing an acl? This sort of story getting spun to the negative says a lot about the posters concerned. Live in the now, man.

Too right. Its the same negative people who continue to moan and groan about any sample of positivity.. probably the same ones who are Emailing Roosy non stop telling him how to do his job.

If Goodwin does have a more attacking game plan we need to see it....now.

We started to see at different stages last year the ability to move the ball quickly and in turn score quickly. We know how to slow the game down now it's about balance.

Players who can't kick the footy or refuse to embrace the contest must not be selected.

I think you have already started to see it 'Bombay', the draft/trade period just adds to the mix. We are assembling a very, very tough football team but not at the expense of some real class.

Goodwin will evolve as a coach in time, pretty hard to show anything in December...

At the risk of sounding like BBO, that mixture of metaphors is a fail, I am afraid. I'll be buggered if I would even think of eating anything out of Pandora's box ... so if that is where the proof is, we are all doomed

Not sure that Pandora would agree.

But then that is the rub with Pandora

[ManDee 7,352]

I think it is a great idea to have Goodwin coaching the NAB Cup games. Hopefully the players buy in and Roos decides to leave early as Goodwin is the man.

While i agree Rawlings would not come out and say he is not the right man for the job, if he truly did say these things i think he believes it, otherwise it would have been a few short well practiced lines about Goodie and they would professional not flattering.

If you think of Pandora as the beatifull first woman of Earth (according to Greek Mythology) then you might object less to eating out of her box, unless of course you'd prefer to be buggered...  not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[PaulRB 6,435]

Oh and on Goodwin, any aspiring coach who decided to take a two year apprenticeship under an established successful Coach instead of gambling a clubs future on leaping from assistant to senior coach, has his head on straight, is respectful of the player , the club, the role of senior coach and his own development. These are characteristics which only increase the likelihood of his (and our) success.

It's got me buggered why anyone would want Roos to leave early! 

He's likely to sit down with PJ & Board and find a role post coaching stint at Melbourne. He's said as much in the Burgan interview. 

The man is integral to the culture shift at the club, is well regarded with his rightful delegation of tasks to the FD group which is integral to the shift.

HT, my comment was tongue in cheek. If the players love Goodwin so much that they win each game by 100 points then Roos says you no longer need me as coach. NOT LIKELY, but one can dream. I agree we need to keep him at the club in some capacity as long as possible.
