Do you know any assistant coaches to ask if they would have second thoughts on working under Goodwin?

Two of the Bulldogs assistants who are good friends of my daughter and son in law told me during 2016 that the MFC would perform better under Goodwin than Roos and their opinion has not changed, so I will take their opinion of Goodwin over anyone that posts on this site.

I can tell you that a current assistant compared Goodwin to a premiership coach he’d worked under, and said he’d never experienced an environment as good as the dees, and would not want to work anywhere else. The premiership coach he’d worked with would often not even acknowledge him when passing in a tight corridor and no one else around.

I’d say there’s more good than bad (regarding Goodwin & the club) in those comments. I don’t see where treating people like [censored] leads to success.

    Yes I think RIchardson would be a good fit for us. AN Excellent Development Coach . Must keep Rowlads though .

    I'll keep saying the same every year until I run out of breath: Nathan Basset.

    Port defensive coach. Joined in 2016.

    Since 2017, Port have had the second-least points against (2017), the third-least points against while finishing 10th in 2018, and currently sit within two goals of third-best defensive standings for 2019 while in 9th place.

    Also: Basset coached Norwood to back-to-back flags from nowhere in 2010 - before joining Craig and Goodie at Essendon in 2014 - and spent the bulk of his 200-game career alongside Simon Goodwin, earning All Oz honours next to Goodie in 2006.

    A usually good source has surprisingly told me Jennings will look to move on end of season.

    Tom Browne reporting tonight that MFC may look to move Jennings on.

    Yep saw that. Was known as the tactical genius last year, but looks like he has been exposed unfortunately.

    Looks like the board is putting all their eggs into the Goodwin basket, hoping that their ludicrous contract extension prior to starting the year pays dividends.

    It's gonna get a whole lot uglier if it doesn't.

    Do clubs have goal kicking coaches any more? Or does that come under forward line coach?

    I like the idea of Bolton as development coach. Despite his lack of success at the Blues, he has an excellent football brain influenced by Clarko

    Not sure how many exactly, but yeah I know of a few that have goal kicking coaches. It's generally only a part-time role though.

    A person of interest for the club should be Daniel Giansiracusa. Has been coaching his own side, is a great communicator, great culture fit, Level 4 coach, premiership assistant. Should be o the radar for us as a club.

    Melbourne is the latest club to register its interest in retiring Hawthorn forward Jarryd Roughead.

    The Demons have already begun their football department shake-up which will include more than 10 position changes across key pillars at AAMI Park.

    And although St Kilda and to a lesser extent Gold Coast remain in the hunt to lure the four-time premiership star, foxfooty.com.au understands Melbourne has a role for Roughead if he wants it.

    So its all pretty quiet on this front and while i understand that we may not know whats happening on the inside, the silence really is deafening..

    Does anyone have any update on who might be an option.. as i understand it this i our panel as we stand:

    Goodwin, Richardson, Matthews, Chaplin, Plapp, Egan (Development) Rooke (Development)

    IN: Richardson

    Out: Macca, Rawlings, Jennings

    SO at least 2 names to replace a couple really senior figures, assuming we say Richo straight swap for Macca, leaves us having to fill the Jennings and Rawlings position. Gosh i really hope they are experienced, well respected coaches. 

    Yze chat has gone very quiet, with Bolton landing back at the hawks, does that squeeze someone out there? 

    I know patience is a virtue, but it is really quiet on the coaching front.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
