I'm sure they don't realize that he isn't the right guy as the corresponding thread on Demonland has made abundantly clear.

 

Is he the right guy though?


It would be a fitting reward for making finals if his contract is extended before the off-season starts ie October

However, I can see that the new CEO may want to have a say so in the off-season makes sense.

    Not happy Jan.

    Why bring it up now when we need to stay absolutely focused on the next month?

    There will be many here in a tizz. It's an obvious decision, in fact the club would be crazy not to extend. Two more years beyond 2019 makes perfect sense

    I'm saying the exact opposite.  In fact, I said before October ie while Jackson is still CEO.

    The line you quote refers to my experience where an outgoing CEO is rarely involved in major decisions post his tenure (eg as we saw with Jackson's replacement).

     

    It will be a Board decision and they will re contract Goodwin.  The sooner the better. 

    However, the Board will give the new CEO the courtesy and the opportunity to set terms and conditions, KPI's etc. as he (the new CEO) will be held responsible for all of club performance.  

    In fact it would be irresponsible and poor governance if the Board were to negotiate a contract with any key staff without the new CEO being involved.

    Those mfcss will be spewing they want to change the coach just so they can be happy in their misery, every coach should be given 5 years  minimum to see how far they can take their team, unless they are totally useless, he is already a better coach then Richardson who has the worst coaching record in history after 100 games, and the saints have been in the bottom 4 more then any side since 1896.

    Goodwin is the right man  and you stick to the person that has helped us make the finals. He was a professional when he was playing and it  has carried onto our club. SO good on ya Goody you deserve a long extension as you have earned it.

    We can afford to wait so we should wait. There is nothing wrong with a good dose of patience. It seems frowned upon in this day and age, but here is an idea, let's just see how we perform next year before re-signing Goodwin.

    Yes not sure why the club decided to extend his contract now when we can wait another year. Or at least wait until the end of finals.

    Jay Clark reports that “former Melbourne coach Paul Roos has backed Simon Goodwin to earn a certain contract extension in the off-season.”

    Simon Goodwin set to sign contract extension after helping break Demons’ finals drought

    He could be enhanced with the experience and comms of Lewis as a 2IC of coaching in 2019.


    25-18 record in his first 43 games of coaching and the MFC's first finals appearance in 12 years.

    We have found our man,   make no mistake.

    Some people will complain about anything, seriously.

    In these days of free agency and players nominating new clubs whenever they please, we haven't lost a single player since Goody took over. That says it all.

    For the same reasons you try and resign players, Keep the other clubs at bay.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
