And they'd certainly not be doing their due diligence if they didn't headhunt Goodwin. And we wouldn't be doing our due financial diligence if we didn't look at it as a potential opportunity of getting out of a contract that we may have to pay out 2 years on (End of 2022) if we're in the same position this time next year.

I look forward to the incoming mockery ?

    He was basically offered the job before he took ours...

    He turned them down then.

    No reason to think he would change his mind now.

    The club also committed to a new contract with Goodwin at the start of this season.

    Despite how things have panned out I doubt they would have changed their minds on his long term viability no matter what some on Demonland may like to think.

    He's ours...like it or not.

    One reason might be a change of circumstance in the last 6 months and the potential of being out of a job in 1 years time. I'm not suggesting Goodwin would cut and run either. But suggesting a possible amicable arrangement whereby the club would only release Goodwin and he'd only leave, if Roos is prepared to step in.

    Roos has no intention of stepping in.

    My opinion, but I think the players were over him by the end.

    He was needed to do a job, he did it and he moved on.

    He did a great job by the way, no knocking him but I think his time was up.

    Those who think Roos would have taken us to a flag if he stayed on are off the mark to my way of thinking.

    Roos won't coach us again but it is a nice thaught. If pyke loses his job at Adelaide and I think he will then there might be an opportunity for Lyon or is that too left field.

    Shame we can't trade coaches like other sports have in the past (see Doc Rivers NBA Celtics to Clippers for an example of a contracted coach being traded).

    Trade Goody to Adelaide for a pick. Given Goody is a young and up and coming coach, I say he would be worth two first rounders (clearly I am kidding here folks, only clarko commands that kind of trade currency)

    What makes you think the players were over him exactly? I don't agree with you, but open to hearing what made you think that, and then also what that tells you about the players if so.

    Just a feeling based on performance and a few rumours.

    Maybe off the mark but I do think his time was up.

    I think many on here have have rose coloured glasses and forget the discussion of Roos as a poor match day coach.

    Whilst I don't necessarily believe that, he was one dimensional and it wasn't the best brand of footy to play or watch.

    ...and for all the talk of defence first, we still got our share of beltings.

    A big part of his job was to take the heat whilst we yet again attempted a rebuild.

    A novice coach wouldn't have been allowed the time we got with Roos at the helm.

    I think he came in did his job and time was right for him to move on.

    The only reason Adelaide would be interested in Goodwin is if they were absolutely certain the MFC were just a team of dud players.

    But here some of you are saying it’s Goodwin who is the dud.

    Why would the Crows move on one dud coach only to replace him with another?

    Zero chance Roos will come back to coach Melbourne. I don't think he'll coach again. No need, we ballooned his super.

    [censored] it. Straight swap. Pyke for Goodwin. Get it done.

    Fair enough mate, can totally understand how you'd feel that way.

    I guess for me, I see it more as Roos could have potentially changed his game style and match day moves based on the far better personnel Goodwin inherited, but we'll never know. I do think it's important to remember the quality of players he had at his disposal to implement that brand of footy though.

    The same things have often been said about Goodwin, and we've had a few beltings under him, with a far better list.

    I reckon Roos only chose Goodwin to be his successor because he really wanted to get the hell out and not stuck with us for another year.

    "yep he'll do. see ya's later, i'm off to Hawaii!"

    I don't think he'll be coming back.

    Gary Lyon would be a great get, him Nietz and Ooze would take us to the promised land.

    If the Crows put in a bid for Goodwin they should be drug tested. Roos and Jackson put us on the right path and Goodwin and the board stuffed it again in 12 months.

    Needs to be a third choice:

    All a bit strange.

    There is zero chance of Roos taking a senior coaching position next year- MFC or Carlton.  He may take a consultant role at CFC to top up the super, but nothing more.

    Roos wasn’t fired by the MFC; he left.  He didn’t want to be a senior coach anymore due the the overwhelming demands it put on him and his family.  

    If the club doesn’t want Goodwin, we don’t have to hope that Adelaide will bring him in; the club simply fires him.  With that said, you don’t fire a coach 10 months after a preliminary final.  Next year he may be under pressure, but it’s not there yet.

    Weird poll. Both options have little to none chance of happening.

    So which 12 months last year of this year, what position does a Board member play?

    Another wrist slashing thread, ho hum

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
