Not sure how it finished out but I felt like we started well for about 15 minutes then all of a sudden the ball was on the outside more and we couldn't keep up. 

Only takes about that long for an opposing coach to see what adjustments are necessary to counter any momentum held by the MFC. And then if course we had Mr stubborn in charge of us who in turn wouldn't make any counter changes (till very late in the season)

We'll always remember him coaching us to an AFLX flag

It started to get “ very worrying” when we almost doubled Geelong i50’s and lost by 80 points back in (was it round 2?) ... and bar a win or two it hasn’t gotten less worrying since. Richmond replaced

Yep. Thought the same. Under Goodwin, we have been very poor starters against any decent side. 

So why could Jennings not help address that, how hard did he try?

I reckon he did try but Simon was too stubborn. Simon is now getting a very big wake up call.

Seems to have ended up on the outer 'dazz'...

Be interested to know how he went from a highly regarded football person to slipping out of the system.

He definitely had high aspirations to have the top job at VFL or sate league. But ended up as a coaching director of some sorts.

Coaching director at St Kevs old boys. Which is a fair fall but they aren’t a standard VAFA club. 

I heard a rumour that one year post AFL the Russian Jamar was in the 2’s, that’s how strong they are.

I wonder if he’s also got a job at the school. The way things are going coaching an APS school team is probably more prestigeous than VFL.

Oh how I would love to know what really happened. from the master strategist, given the AFLX opportunity, celebrated at the club with coaching royalty, to a well prepared statement about coaching VFL and then completely off the radar. 
 

anyone see the Herald Sun article by Jay Clark last week? Can see the link on twitter but the article no longer appears.

Any job related to st Kevin’s is tarnished right now. 
Jennings was always about Jennings and how good he was.  I think Goody might be smiling now.

Goody repeatedly said he was one of his closest mates. A terrible Principal and a paedophilia isn't something to be glad about and the covid 19 sure isn't either.

So I doubt he's smiling given there's a high chance he's out of a job now with the VAFA season on hold.

He was not as smart as they said he had a gameplan which was ok when other teams did not counter his tactic I think his finals campaign shows that the stratery was slowlybecomming yesterdays gameplan, he did not ajust to the circumstances of the next season modifying it so it would be successful.

Jennings should be held in higher esteem around here.

He did guide us to our maiden AFL X premiership.

given the nature of the upcoming afl 2020 season seems like it's going to be closer to afl x, perhaps we should get him back?

Are we sure we're leaving him and it's not him leaving us? Interesting that he and Goodwin could share the coaching box for so long right next to each other and not be on the same page.

I'm not against changes but we better be bringing in some good names.

Goodwin losing the guy we thought was his mentor (Macca) and the guy we thought was his closest colleague at the same time worries me. 

There were, and there still are, better potential coaches than Goodwin out there. Interesting he gets rid of the mentors and experience that he craves yet survives himself with an ordinary record characterised by so many meaningless public statements. We may live to regret his extended contract timeliness and execution.

I don’t get how he thought he was good? He seemed like a pretty quiet guy. Only real media I ever saw about him was the skin cancer scare. Otherwise it all seemed pretty standard MFC stuff.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
