"Contrary to reports, McCartney was not demoted from the Demons’ coaches’ box to the boundary line this year. It was simply a return to the role McCartney had been playing for the previous three years."

Well, there ya go

 

The comments in this thread, as well as the Goodwin thread, show how scarred some fans are.  It annoys me, but at the same time I slightly understand where they are coming from. 

The last month shows how we need to be patient - a couple of bad losses and we had some supporters, who now look rather stupid, questioning everything as if the club was caving in.  Now look at us.  Just goes to show that we don't need to be negative about every decision made and be able to see the long term view, not just the short term.

I must admit the last few years I feel I'm 1mm from a complete meltdown over this club ?

That's what this Forum is all about. It's a lot more effective than paying for some professional psychologist to try and treat your MFCSS attacks when no one other than members on here have a clue about or know how to treat.

Huge wraps in the Hun today.  Scanned it over a coffee in the local cafe, and were talking up his development credentials.  

We are becom8ng a media darling... I’m not used to it!

Even Caro was finding it hard to accept, but did concede, on her show the other night.

The reality is, we're just one loss away from the "typical Melbourne" of "fall from grace" headlines.

And it must be working well as we have given teams hidings since he went to bench. Have talked to him a few times when he has been up here in Qld and comes across as a terrific fella that has time of day to chat. No doubt he encourages and supports the players plus constructive feedback when needed. From all accounts he is a very valuable member of the coaching group and for one I am glad he is with the Dees.

I agree. Of course if we lose tomorrow I'm jumping from the Rialto.

Being a media darling is novel but I have seen it before under Northey and Daniher.

I want to be hated!

Yeah but some people have been saying that for the last 4 years - it’s the same small group in nearly every thread - same tactics - just they attack another poster. 

I don’t think they will ever learn. Saty, is one of the most loyal passionate MFC supporters you would ever meet - he is 10 times a better supporter than me and may I add the “trolls” attacking him.

No one is a better supporter than anyone else.  We all contribute in our own ways, whether that be through attendance, membership, posting here or wearing your gear into work on a Monday win, lose or draw.  While I don't agree with some posters on here, that doesn't mean I would consider them any less of a supporter than me or anyone else.

Ok fair enough well said, but I’m not walking away from saying Saty is one of the most loyal, passionate Demons supporters you will ever meet. He and his lovely partner go to nearly ever game for as long as I can remember- he bleeds red & blue.

So he is 10 x a better supporter than I will ever be.

That's great.  Some would agree, others would call him a troll.  I fall in the latter.

And him 'bleeding red & blue' might make him a better supporter than you, but it doesn't make him better than the rest.

Yeah I don’t see it that way - I think all he ever does is try and share his love for the club. 

Now, Saty and his partner have not always seen eye to eye with me either - but I think I was more at fault there. I’ve learnt more from meeting him than he knows. 

But each to their own

Been very impressed with the way Goodwin has managed the people around him this year. Things have been tried and mistakes made, but that’s all part of the learning process for any coach of any years of experience. The Brendon decision was a great example. It’s how he has responded and the adjustments made that show we are on a winner with Simon.

Keep up the great work MFC, I’m loving what I’m seeing atm

 

Good call. We could have persisted like Worsfold did with the Neeld project, but had the sense to take decisive action quickly. Whether that credit goes to Goodwin or not, I'm not sure. I'll dig a little.

It was clear that he was abusing his position within the club to further his own media career.

I’m surprised it took so long for him to get replaced.
