Goodwin won't get as long. Richardson has had to battle horrid injury lists and just broadly poor form. But this was always going to happen.

Good on him for jumping before he was pushed. 

He has been in no-win situation almost since the beginning.  Poor management above him, poor assistants around him.  Terrible list management decisions (McEvoy, Goddard, Del Santo, Reiwoldt, Montagna) and squandering of numerous draft picks. 

Now has a GM Football who pays his mate squillions to leave Sydney and is detrimental to the Saint's culture and can't get on the field.  Hannebury is Carlisle Mark 11.

As a senior coach one fault was his very deadpan manner when speaking publicly.  Good for stability and consistency but not good for enthusiasm, energy and hope.

I would expect Ratten to step in for the next 6 games.

It seems the President, Andrew Bassett will take a lead role in appointing the new coach which is somewhat unusual.  The chat seems to be that is because Lethlean is plugging for another mate, Brad Scott to get the gig.

If Ratten gets the interim role but not the gig for next year there is a fair chance he will also be on the market.  While unlikely, would love him back at the Dees.

I rate Ratten. 

But the Aints have always been a weird mob..really. You could make a movie

Goodwin will be next if he can’t get his [censored] together...

If Port or Adelaide don't make finals this year I could see Hinkley and Pyke not being in their jobs by the end of this year. I would have thought Goodwin is safe for another 12 months (and, obviously, longer if performances improve).

If Goodwin doesn't lift i would be keeping Ratts in mind for the Job no doubt.

Was midfield coach at the Dees under Danners.

Yes. That is possible, but they are doing a lot better than Goodwin. 

We will likely be 17th by next weekend after we play Meth Coke in the desert. 

If we are out of contention by QB next year Goodwin should not see out the year. 

The effort of the players is there 100% but the basic skills of this team are truly deplorable. 

Why does our midfield not run both ways and shepherd team mates with the ball?

basic fundamentals 

Goodwin is in his 3rd year....

Wonder if Robert Harvey puts his hand up again for the senior gig. 

If he wants a senior job ever this is the one, he won't get it elsewhere.

Harvey is currently  at a functional club, well resourced with an outlook of success.

Why would he be keen to go to an essentially  dysfunctional  one, with half the toys and assets , run by people that make Porpoise Point look normal !!

I get he's  the prodigal  son and all...but he'd  be mad imho

One of the better bits of luck this year

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
