I reckon there are two things keeping Pyke in his position, 

1. the payout which has been reported. 

2. no standout candidate to replace him. would they feel Goodwin was a better choice? i suspect some at the club would. would Melbourne let Goodwin go? i'd think unlikely.

"would Melbourne let Goodwin go? i'd think unlikely."

Give me a minute to think about that ahhhhhhhh where is the signing pen?

riddle me this

Pyke to Melbourne as Football director and Goodwin to Adelaide as an assistant.

Each gets paid 1.5M over three years thus cutting down both pay outs by roughly the same sum.

Would you be willing to pay that amount. (It's most probably less than what we would pay if we sacked Goodwin at the bye or end of season next year.)

You left out the bit where we wouldn't go for another untried coach and would need to pay $1.5mill + to get a worthwhile, experienced coach to replace Goody.

If not goodwin, who? is the biog question that i think needs to be asked. 

I don't like him as a bloke but Ross Lyon is gettable, his game style suits our list, he has a fantastic coaching record including grand final appearances with two clubs. maybe rebuilding isn't his thing but i reckon he'd get us back up the pointy end in 2020

Pyke has stood down as senior coach of Adelaide. Phase one complete, will they now make a long-term offer to Goodwin? 

Highly doubt we'll let Goodwin go, in the future they might allow coach trading like player trading, so I'd do Goodwin for pick 3 in the draft.

Yes Adelaide please make a long term offer to Goody. 

I would not be disappointed at all.

I reckon there will be plenty of speculation about it, but I doubt he makes the switch.

Having said that, would it surprise any of us if he made the move, knowing how strong his ties are to the Crows?  Probably not.

He would only go if he didn't have the confidence in the list and his coaching team to make finals next year.  The heat will be on in 2020.

However, I just can't imagine Goodwin leaving the Dees.  He is a proud man and believes in himself. 

He will want to finish what he started.  And imv he is the best person available to do it.

Their membership would revolt.... Another matter if Goodwin was successful but he is a long way from having runs on the board.

Scott of the North variety is my bet.

Fascinating, Goodwin to Adelaide...Pert friends with Roos and Ross...

I have absolutely no doubt that Goodwin is safe and will be coach for the whole of next season, another poor season then who knows. However, if Ross were to come to Melbourne I would spew, literally spew, track him down and spew on him.

And then Ross Lyon to the Crows?

I doubt a veteran like Ross would take on a place as toxic as the Crows right now unless they offer him amazing coin.

Hard to believe but culture wise they're in a worse state than we are right now.

Will take them weeks to go through the appointment phase.  Then there's the new coach's style/playing methods and player preferences.  He will have little time to assess before the draft.  What a shimozlle!

Disgruntled players will be leaving like rats out of a burning drain pipe i reckon.

A great time to raid them for a few morsels if they fit our bill.

Yes it is hard to call.  But I'm not hearing the football director over there and footy manager getting the Axe. Which is wrong IMO.

But 1 is  Premiership teammate of Goodwin, the other a long term team mate.

Who Knows?

Surely that is an over reaction.  How about looking green and bilious in his general direction....

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

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
