I’ve left the country for 4 weeks to miss the end of this tragic season, but at least when we were up and going last year, it was great to watch.

could never enjoy watching Ross Lyon coached team, so slow, boring and miserable!!! Week after week after week!!!!

Never!

Fixed for you @Kent

As the "great man" Gary Lyon would say - "it's about the body of work".

Goodwin, as you well know took a team to a prelim, less than a year ago, and there has been a range of extenuating factors as you also know.

Ross, Bolton, Richardson - nope.

Simon is right in the gun now

Not with 3 years left he isn't.

The key to this for me is if he has lost the players.

If he has, we are in deep trouble.

If he hasn't, it can be fixed.

I'm sorry, but how did he destroy either of those clubs? St.Kilda were an absolute rabble under Grant Thomas. He took them to consecutive grand finals and was one good bounce away from being a Premiership Coach. Also got Freo to a grand final and consecutive finals series but faced a once-in-a-generation Hawks side.

I know he left the Saints when the wheels started to fall off, but it was only time I can remember when the Saints were actually a formidable side.

C’mon Red, you know contracts mean nothing today. Goodwin will be in the firing zone now. He has a very busy summer ahead. Our Practise Games will tell a lot

Strikes me as an ideal candidate to be a coaching director or senior mentor type role for us.

Thoughts @Lucifer's Hero?

I think it takes a good relationship and healthy mutual respect to be a mentor and the mentoree needs to want to be mentored. 

Am not aware of a relationship between Goodwin and Lyon so doubt it as a mentor. 

There are probably better candidates for a coaching director.

Serve them right, I have never thought that either Scott brother could coach.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
