Can someone copy and paste the article. I don't have "paywall"..

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?"

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
