Firstly, it's news to me that he is a line coach? Is that correct?

It was reported on OTC that he has been told he is not required in the coaches box this week (against his wishes).

Is it all falling apart?

Just posted in the Goodwin forum the same thing. Things notgood in the box for the first 4 rounds and macca will sit on the boundary line. Mentioned elsewhere that there may have been a clash of egos.

When asked to elaborate the reporter stated that Macca wants to be in the boc so I am not sure who he has upset but clearly not a happy camp

Maybe McCartney had a shot at our fwd and midfield coaches for letting the ball rebound too easy and make his backline work, and look, bad? ?

I wouldn't be worried if it was as plain and simple as having his experience on the bench for better communication?

Maybe Goodwin thinks Macca down there will get the message across to the players but Macca didn’t want to go? (Being optimistic here)

Tom Morris is a Dees fan and hosts that inside Melbourne podcast, but not sure how good his sources are regarding the reason.

I thought he was development coach, not a line coach? Can probably do better work  face to face with the players from the bench, rather than over the phone from upstairs.

is there a story here?  Don’t know.  Need more than guesses or hearsay to know...

Good on ya Tom. Muck rake your supported club on national tv.

Theres 17 others you can have a crack at too ya know?

Would be interested in the views of  @Leoncelli_36 on this matter 

Jack Viney also got kicked out of the coaches box he said on talking footy.

Maybe too much noise distracting Goody while his reading the footy record

Morris also wrote that rubbish piece recently about Freo “chasing” Hoges and Brayshaw... he also wrote the piece about Goody offering his resignation after campgate and then “slept in” when Goody was on the Dees podcast the week after. 

He seems like a typical journo..

Bizarre. Quarter time last Sunday McCartney was doing most of the talking.

Don't like this one little bit.

Spot on, same bloke went with the Goodwin resignation story... trying to make a name for himself. 

Nothing story. 

It says on the MFC website that Macca is a player development coach but according to the article he also shares with defensive line coach role? Makes it even worse that we have two defensive coaches and yet it’s a complete shambles at the moment.

Shambles

Before we start jumping off the West Gate, again, let's wait and hear from a trusted source about issue first.  Right now all we know, from a rumour, is McCartney will be on the bench instead of the coaches box.  We know nothing else, regardless of what someone like Tom Morris (who has come up with some absolute shite this year) has to say on the matter.

Ridiculous. We continue to find ways to fuc$@(/!kup everything. McCartney will be gone by season end

Dogs got rid of him and won a flag

Wasn't he on the bench a lot of the time last year?

I’d still prefer Macca running the defensive coach role over Chaplin. He was a spud of a player and has zero runs on the board as a coach.

I can't believe we allow this reporter to be a host of the club's official podcast. He has the knives out for us. Fox in the hen house.

Until you're the head of football operations no one cares. 

No offence but seriously why bother arguing about something neother of us have any idea about. 

Just ride it out. And if the fd [censored] it up they'll be out

Good to see a bit of Passion being thrown about...

Yes,  that is his Matchday role, he is never in the box, what a [censored] joke and the usual nuff nuffs on here  run with it

The issue is they planned for him to be in the box in 2018

It’s lasted four weeks

So either the plan hasn’t worked and they’re reverting to 2017 set up or the communication inside the box with him as part of it has been problematic 

Either result is not great imo

Yes. 

I’d say the time to panic is now.

Saty, I know you think you know it all. 

But this was reported by a Melbourne supporter who does the offical podcast weekly. It was also said with Paul Roos ,who would have knowledge of each persons role within the football department, sitting next to him.

If he says he was in the box the last 4 weeks, I know who I am believing.
