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)

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.

Anyone know where he's ended up?

Was looking to coach VFL?

Ended up at suburban level I think. VAFA maybe?

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.

The tweet said ‘Former Demons strategy coach Craig Jennings, who Nathan Jones said had one of the best minds in footy, has landed a new job.’ But the article linked is not related.

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. 

Gee wizz give the bloke a break. Coached at the highest level, I expect he will be back at the top level again, not like the rest of us.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
