What an incredibly powerful interview! For me, the big takeaway is the strength of the new culture that drives this club that we all love so much. Go Dees.

Well on hearing that, the culture at this club has well and truly changed from what it was just a few years ago. He talks about the group and the love of the club and the passion to play well. Tom McDonalds signing on for 4 years typifies this. This is going to be one hell of a ride.

Impressive individual.

Great interview.  Filled me with confidence ...... not that it needed a boost right now.

I loved his point of rehashing the past vs rehashing the lesson. Too often we drag up painful memories of errors in the past with the trite guise of learning lessons.

It sounds as if the team has genuinely taken away from that lapse last year. Hopefully that means we can now stop talking about it. The event can go but the lesson remains.

Wow, love how he speaks about the players and the mate ship that is being built with in our club.

He is such a powerful speaker, hope he writes a book one day?

Winning this Monday will help ease a little of that pain (revenge). But only a finals appearance will make up for what happened last year.

We win Monday, and a finals appearance is ours. No way we miss out from 9 and 3.

Double prizes !!

Well done to Gerard Whately - I thought he conducted that interview very well and Simon was fantastic. 

This is a rippa interview. Really impressed. 

Really excellent interview and Goodwin comes across as a Roos acolyte with the concentration on the 'care' the club has for those at the club.

I know he isn't just a Roos acolyte and he brings his own style and experience but that culture Roos started is why people want to be involved in the club and why it is so hard to leave.

What a great interview, thanks for posting!

Gosh, Daniher's plight is just horrible but very inspiring re: his attitude.

 

Is Goodwin the right guy tho?

only if we beat the pies, otherwise on your bike. 

I had a lot of doubts on Goodwin after he shut down Bugg and Watts for their Instagram/Twitter antics. In the short term I think that was a bad move, and possibly cost us finals last year.

Both those boys will never play another game at the club though and we're going better than ever, so I'll concede it was a good move.

My lesson: Goodwin has a plan; and for the first time in 12 years at the MFC, it's a good one.
