    He's getting plenty of credit in the media.  I think he has done some great things & other things very poorly.

    Development of ANB & Harmes has been brilliant.

    Failure to promote Frost for so long was very poor.

    Failure to match up 6+6+6 ie allowing opposition to play a loose man in defence cost us games. 

    Coaching against St Kilda was woeful & cost us the match.

    It is another click-bait headline!  The content doesn't support it!

    The article is based on the 'Roosy' chant last week to build his story.  Robinson then lists everyone involved for the last 10 years and 'concludes' the headline that Goodwin isn't getting the credit.   No logic at all!

    However, he disproves that 'conclusion' by quoting Roos '...we have a bloody good coach and he's doing a bloody good job'.  Robinson continues with other Roos' comments lauding Goodwin's player relationships before and after the changeover etc. 

    What Robinson can't see is that Goodwin is getting a lot of media kudos in the 'demons have a game plan that stacks up in September' narratives.  What better compliment for a coach! 

    Its a rubbish article.

    Yeah, a guy into his second year of senior coaching should be doing much more than that!  To tell the truth, I'm really peeved that he didn't have us top two by season's end.  Anything less than a premiership is a fail in my book.

    I think goodwin has been exceptional. The belief and steadiness of the group is palpable, and he has been the picture of optimism and calm throughout the year, win lose or draw.

    Yes, he didn't have the perfect line up straight away, but he got their in the end. 

    Playing Gus in the VFL has been a masterstroke. Melksham as a forward, masterstroke. Harmes as a tagger, master-stoke. 

    Someone said Frost should have been in earlier. Frost had some very poor games last year, and the long stint in the VFL seems to have done him wonders. I love that we don't pick players until they are actually ready, such as Hunt. I can see hunt coming in mid next year and actually being ready. 

    Only fault is taking so long to go 6-6-6, but we don't know the in's and out's of his reasoning. The players love him, and he's got them believing, and playing our best in finals. Near flawless year from Goodwin.

    Goodwin has done a great job for our footy club, as well as the rest of the staff at the club.

    So lets get on board the train and enjoy the ride.

    Shouldn't this thread be merged with "Is Goodwin the right man for the job?"

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
