I'm hearing that Richo and Goody are already at loggerheads andĀ 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'dĀ taken a leaf out of Norm Smith's book - Norm watched endless replays of the '54 GF defeatĀ 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.Ā 

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.Ā 

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

Stop picking on WYL everyone!Ā  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.Ā 

it's players, assistants, staff.Ā 

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,Ā

Was this known when he was there under Roos?Ā

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.Ā 

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.

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

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.Ā

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

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 wouldā€™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?

On 9/5/2019 at 8:06 PM, Sir Why You Little said:

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

Itā€™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.Ā 

Football Clubs do lie...

How stupid is that comment - a club canā€™t speak lol - people lie not companyā€™s or clubs - Ā also Goody is like our next Frank Checker Hughes. Ā Norm is a legend of course but Checker coached him and mentored him , was with him for all 10 flags. Ā 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.

Big difference Iā€™d suggest.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sundayā€™s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonā€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnā€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyā€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
