What if Goody had quit?

Featured Replies

Ok so it might have been said in the heat of anger but what if he had quit? We'd be in a real pickle.

If Goodwin had of quit there would have been a lot of coaches from other teams quickly checking their contracts for ‘get out’ clauses. A new coach would get a club with a steady, professional admin, a playing list chock full of talent and in the age group poised for a serious, long term tilt at success. 

A drovers dog could take this club to finals..

 

Fox News, about as reliable as me hitting a 250 metre drive up the South Eastern Fairway on a Sunday morning in my pajamas......

Well we would have gone through another coach and this team who has achieved nothing and thinks they know best would have had a lot of questions to answer. 

Thank god the club backed him. But if we start losing consecutive games the media will be all over the players cancelling this camp

Would you be wearing golf shoes in this scenario?

Even the article says it was said flippantly in the heat of the moment and laughed off by PJ. Also says the club has moved on internally, the playing list is fit and coach is respected and liked. So where's the story?

Kero said on Footy Crapified last night that she asked Goodwin to his face and he denied flat out resignaton was offered. Fwiw she believed him. Non issue.

Didn't have to wear golf shoes at Burnley then

Ah Kero, when she says nice/calm/soothing things about our club, she's such a cherub.  But that one occasion is soon erased from my mind whenever else she opens her trap.


Wilson suits the needs those who are more interested in intrigue, gossip and the politics of football clubs, rather than how the players are performing.

Got me beat why people call her a good journalist, she rehashes a lot of stories that are well past their use by date, she is a  muckraker at best. Football journalists talk about on-field events, how players are performing and how teams are travelling, you won't get much of that from her.

The story isn’t old, it will be linked with he 2018 season

If the season goes well, it won’t be an issue. 

On the other hand, if we hit a bad patch, the mental toughness will be questioned..

These are ruthless suppositions and some of this may be closer to home than we may consider. It does not shake the loyalty of MFC supporters - or it shouldn't - it merely represents a perspective and viewpoint that is difficult to take but importantly, essential to take if the great range of factors that make up a football club are to be validated and inclusively considered. These suppositions and realities or fears are not exhaustive; such items may often be unknowingly overlooked but 'one at a time, fellas' is a start. A more complete club will emerge by questions 'on' or 'off' notice. As a sunset clause, I would certainly hope that we are richer and wiser for the experience.

Hey, Wilmoy. I had an experience, once, just like that which you describe.

Years ago, the kids were screaming blue murder in the backyard  and I thought one or two of them were injured by something, it was so bad at 6am on a Sunday morning.

I jumped out of bed in my shortie pyjamas, raced to the backdoor and jumped/leapt across the landing onto the grass to get to those little darlings.

Someone had left a garden rake 'prongs up' on the lawn - just where my feet were touching down in my panic. Well, I have never hit two balls so accurately and straight in all my life on the golfcourse, yet I'd never recommend it to anyone as a way to overcome a nasty slice!
