    Thank GOD! ..... At the Family day l said to him kindly that if you love the club you have to sign with the us very very soon.  Please!

    Goody replied with a knowing smile,  Do you love the club ? and winked, We shook hands and walked off knowing all was ok.

    Love the guy and know we are in the best of hands.

    Great news!

    Now we need to sign up Josh Mahoney.  Don't know when his contract expires but would guess in the next year or two.  He is a critical part of the team.  An excellent media performer who is solid, stable and engenders confidence.

    Let's give thanks to Paul Roos and Peter Jackson for their fantastic work, and their foresight in giving us the coaching recruit of the decade. Making Melbourne great again! Just like a good relationship, there is a lot of love and stability at Melbourne. Yes, extend Josh Mahoney's contract as well to show the faith.

    Good to have this done before the start of the season.

    Hah... I never thought it but its a relief...   maybe the big smile I got from that video...  or from the signing. ?    but the vision of the close-knit camaraderie is heart warming.

    If they're as tight a group as we hope and think they are, they'll come out and play for Gawny's 100th followed by Jack's 100th in rounds 1 & 2..................and play for Goody in every game he is coach.

    Felt oddly weird seeing Pert in demons colours

    Well he started in Red and Blue well Maroon close enough.

    By 2022 he will either be the chosen one who lead us out of the half century  failure era or sacked like 95% of coaches.

    Interesting times ahead.

    Well deserved Goody a great day for MFC

    Four years for much success and culture to improve us further.

    The necessary tonic to lift us into a dangerous unit on Sat. to open our 2019 campaign with a win.

    Big day looms very soon in also with  the time when we break our Membership record and then onto 50,000 plus members first time in our history.

    The mini giant is awakening! Shaken and stirred!!

    One of my favourite players, back in those days. Perty.

    The only question I have is if Ron Burgundy loves Simon Goodwin?

    So Pert thinks he’s the right man for the job does he?! Is he sure?! 

    Nice one Goody and Dees.

    The video of the players embracing Goody after the announcement is something i have not seen for a very long time between a player and coach. By looking at that the players have embraced and enjoyed working under him. Theres a special connection in there that i dont think many clubs have.

    Enjoying this journey Goody is taking us on.

    Would love to know what the brief conversation was that he had with Harmes. Clearly a strong bond between the two.

    Goodwin has a very smart manager, getting him a three year contract before we have played a game this year, and coming directly off our worst loss from 2018.  Very clever.  We couldn't have waited until round 10 to see if he was worth continuing with?

    We play finals for the first time in a decade and you want to put a coach's worth down to a single game?

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
