I'm hearing that Richo and Goody are already at loggerheads and Richo is also on the brink of walking out.

He says Goodwin is too stubborn and has never seen a single Dees loss - he thinks they're all just bad days!

If only he'd taken a leaf out of Norm Smith's book - Norm watched endless replays of the '54 GF defeat over and over again, analysing where the Dogs picked us apart. Made the team bullet-proof for a decade.

Goodwin had the same opportunity to win 5 premierships in 6 years and completely blew it. 

Not bad! :)

    I've heard very similar. it's his way or the highway. and some he's getting a few players offside as well. 

    Sadly if half the stuff flying around is true we may need to make that decision soon.

    Yeah, those posters having a go should completely lay off.  It's a disgrace. 

    Stop picking on WYL everyone!  It's not nice!

    Yep. i've heard he's got a lot of people offside just being incredibly stubborn, unable to take critisism and unwilling to change. 

    it's players, assistants, staff. 

    Buckley and Hardwick were similar but they changed. Goodwin either needs to change or go in my opinion because we can't lose good football people over this in my view,

    I'm not sure about under Roos. but i've heard Peter Jackson and Jordan Lewis were both at stages concerned about it. as was Macca. but ultimately when we're making finals and in a prelim it doesn't seem like as big an issue as when we're 17th. 

    there was stuff about this flying around at the time of the pre season camp drama, so it's been going on a while, but i think this season has really made a few people show their true selves a little bit.

    Admin have alegedly lost a few already but more than likely unrelated.  Possibly coincidental.

    Edit:  one of those apparently instigated by the club (early cost cutting in prep for expected revenue loss in 2020?).

    McCartney, Jennings now Rawlings leaving......Goodwin under the pump big time which is to be expected. 

    The word around the club is that Rawlings was a great communicator, transparent, driven & a bloody good tactician & coach.....well respected by all players too.

    Good luck Jade.

    I heard that the entire board come down to the footy department on one occasion and Goodwin kept referring to David Thirin as a 'suit' before taking his polo off punching his chest and howling strange noises kind of like a war cry. My source said at the time the bahaviour seemed a bit bizarre but shrugged it off as dancing the fine line between genious and insanity. True story.

    Goodwin knows he is on thin ice. 

    By that i mean, he has been told. He has to learn to work with others, very quickly. 

    Thanks for the comments on this.

    If Buckley can change, anyone can.

    I have faith in Pert and the Board not to sit on their hands after this year ( and last year's heroics)

    You ought to try it some day, giving back to the community, it gives perspective to life rather than sitting on a computer whinging about why a football side is losing games.

    Possibly would’ve been a really good senior coach for us this year.

    Don't understand, we move Rawlings away from Casey 1/2 during the season & then he walks?

    Whats that say about the club?

    Always amazes me that when information is given out in good faith, people on here get hammered. 

    It’s fine. I have known my source for many years. Some of his info has been first hand 100% whilst at other times he is hearing down the line. 

    Football Clubs do lie...

    How stupid is that comment - a club can’t speak lol - people lie not company’s or clubs -  also Goody is like our next Frank Checker Hughes.  Norm is a legend of course but Checker coached him and mentored him , was with him for all 10 flags.  Checker is the most underrated character in AFL history!

    It says that his younger brother is the new CEO at North and has offered him more money to come back to one of the clubs he played at.

    Because we are making changes after a poor season.

    Question Red. Are we asking them to move on, or are they leaving us? 

    Big difference I’d suggest.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
