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.

You would think and hope those extra years are performance based with triggers, quite clearly missed this one in a big way.

    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. 

    How comfortable would you be with Ross Lyon as your senior mentor, really?

    Makes you wonder if Roos or Blues jumped too early?

    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.  

    Yeah destroy probably a bit harsh, but those lists were primed when he walked in......he did well, but has he adapted to the changes in the last few years...maybe to a degree. It seems its just all about Ross to me. Anyway, we have a coach , for now, i dont think hed be taking over anytime soon.

    Might be good to have someone come in without a relationship though? One of the problems we seem to have is too much of a boys club going on.

    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.

    Not fixed Onion

    How this board gave him 3 year extension is beyond belief 

    But there you go others think differently. I would say his performance in 2018 we anything to write home about.

    The depressing part Mr Leg is it going to take till June 2020 to find out.

    I'm not advocating as such, but I'm pretty surprised that for a club that's played 2 Grand Finals in 50 years we're so quick to dismiss a coach who took two clubs with similar struggles to us to Grand Finals.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
