I think the number of players in rehab in January and even February had a big impact on our ability to spend enough time doing match simulation. To meet it seems that on reflection, hindsight being a wonderful thing, Goodwin had wished we'd spent the limited match simulation we had on the fundamentals to our game plan, rather than adding layers. As a result we went into the season with a game plan we couldn't execute. 

That was exactly the point he was making.

    So his a good bloke to people in the industry and signs players like Preuss to 4 years or Vandenberg to 3 years? 

    Any GM can get players on long term contracts because it’s what the player managers push for.

    You really have no idea.

    We will never know if he's the one reviewing his own performance.

    Surely you are capable of coming to your own conclusions without relying on some sort of review?

    Josh is a professional who is highly regarded among senior figures. Look elsewhere for the answer to our season, it ain't here.

    thanks for the critique btw, will be remembered......

     

    Sorry to disappoint Swyl, I have just flown back in from Italy arrived home 3hrs ago having been overseas at a family wedding, (which I eluded to in other posts).

    Nothing changes the rumour mongers are still playing Chinese whispers adding little bits here and there. 

    Interesting to see the so called Dud in Mahoney has managed to get Burgess and Richardson on board, imagine 2 sort after footy people chosing to come to this basket case

    This coming from the guy who was calling other posters Harry hindsight the other day.

    That said Richo Won 43 games from 126 and the ladder positions while in charge during completed seasons with St Kilda were 18th, 14th, 9th, 11th and 16th. They were 11th when he left this year. St Kilda's list isn't the greatest, but he certainly didn't do much with them. This isn’t a Clarko we are talking about here.

    If we were engaging him as head coach, perhaps you'd have a point.

    But we aren't.

    Agree

    There's some on here who seem to think Mahoney and others in the FD wouldn't have been doing all he/they could from early in the season change things up to get  the club back on course for 2020+

    Enlighten me, where has Richo been previously successful playing the role as head coach support.

    Finishing 5th once in a decade is hardly anything worth raving to home about. You would think the way people are going on we just landed Roos, Simpson or Clarko.

    We just landed a coach with a mediocre track record who was sacked and looking for a new job, he didn’t even need to leave another club to come to us. But yeah, master stroke by Mahoney

    Answered your question though didn't it?

    He's pretty highly regarded as an assistant coach, especially in development. It's not going ti single handedly change our fortunes, but hardly think it's something to be complaining about given where we're at and how much we need experience around Goody in the box.

    Misson was also ‘highly regarded’. Let that sink in. Most over-used term ever being used on Demonland right now.

    If Goodwin is such a good coach why all this talk about him needing help in the box.  I know all coaches have support but the talk in this club is almost such that Goodwin is in trouble unless we get him a former coach to help him.  

    i am bemused about all this.  I would get rid of Chaplin for sure,  as some other assistants.

    My perception is that it's more that he's an inexperienced coach with potential and needs experience around him to learn and develop from.

    Hardly consider finishing 5th once in a decade ‘success’, but each to there own. Personally I hope Demons perform better then that but I guess to some people 5th once in a decade would be enough.

    Stop stating facts please PSD.

    It’s much more interesting when people are simply making stuff up.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
