Goodwin: The NAB Challenge gave me confidence about being a senior coach. I've got a real sense of energy about the role.

Lets hope this lifts the curse and 31 can be a lucky number again (Goodwin our 31st coach)...

Great article on Goodys journey.

Handled his first official press conference as coach like a champ.

Best of luck Goody.

top job at Demonland ?  Does DL or WJ know about this ?? 

Wish him the best of luck and the ultimate success. Still has many demoms to vanquish within the club.

I think we'll see a significant difference, Roosy wasn't really a senior coach, more a football dept coach, we now have our house in order and a coach with the energy to invest in being a full time long term senior coach and it's that bloody exciting

I was sitting one table away from Peter Jackson having coffee this morning and very tempted to move to the next table and eavesdrop however I suspected that I might have overheard something that shouldn't make this site. ?

My mum told me long ago that people who eaves drop seldom here good things.

Best to be blissfully ignorant CBD

Get around him. Onward and upward in 2017 Dees! Give me some finals action baby!

Even before watching the video on the Club website, I had a good feeling about Goodwin. Now I am even more convinced!?

So are we gonna be the hardest team to play against in the AFL?

This website will be rebranded Goodwinland from today.

He was saying that this season went well, but in the last two rounds the peptides were past their use by date. Next season they're going to use fresh ones each week and double the dosages.

Politically incorrect Ted, but also a reality check.  He was part of the holy mess at EFC. This does not mean he can't coach but does cause one to reflect about his past judgement on doping. 

Just watched the mini doco on the website - first time I've seen him speak other than the odd press conference. He certainly comes across as very calm, confident and assured...looking forward to the ride!

 

Loved watching him and Watts have a couple of friendly scuffles in the documentary. Seems like they have a very close bond.

I was disappointing he didn't do the same bumping with his daughter after he gave her a high five.

All I've heard out of the Jackson camp is something that I'm sure he wouldn't mind being posted here and that is that PJ is still loving Melbourne and has no plans to leave. I'd be signing him up on at least a 3 year deal, but for some reason they like their 1 year contracts.

Nice interview with Goody on SEN run home.

Has a sound head, no hyperbole. I get the impression of stability and continuity and reckon that's just what the players need at this stage of development. Results will have the final say of course but there's something nice about there being no hullabaloo around our new head coach taking over.

He sounded good in his media work today. Very calm and talking about stability and hard work. Hopefully he continues to take us up the ladder.
