Would be better if there was Option 3 “someone else”. Personally I’d prefer Ratten.

 

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.

Blight suggesting Pyke might go to Freo.

Adelaide have been into Goodwin for a long time, so it will be fascinating to see what happens.

And then Ross Lyon to the Crows?

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.

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....

Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
