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.

    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.

    He'd be packing bricks right about now. Heart would have skipped a beat when he heard the news.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
