If you click on the link you should be about see the podcast of the interview.

Very interesting insight. The feeling I got was that there has been reports that Goody can be quite stubborn, yet apparently according to Goody this is one of his strengths in taking feedback and open to everyone's ideas.

The big one that pricked my ears also was towards the end he was asked who was the best leader at the football club. He said everyone was different but the 2 that stand out in terms of the alignment of the club and direction of the footy club for the future was Max Gawn and Jack Viney.

    Great interview 'dazzle', thanks for posting.

    Makes me feel a bit more confident about next year...a good trade/draft period, some luck with injury and we will be up and about again...

    Me too, he has great belief in this club and this is coming from someone who knows what success is all about. He is a huge wrap for Goodwin.

    Good interview that had you listen to his every word.

    He didn't think we were all that good in 2018 and were quite lucky to beat Hawthorn in the semi.

    I heard the interview and he was more referring to the prelim, West Coast were red hot and we were pretty much done the week before. He stated Hawks could have got us had they taken some of their chances.

    He wasn't referring to the season overall

    Excellent post Daz thankyou

    very interesting insights 

    Still confuses me that our plummet lasted so long. 

    2020 will tell all...

    Thanks DD, really interesting interview. I was expecting him to say, we got lost and lacked direction this year, but to hear him say that he thought we were on the right track and extenuating circumstances (injuries, surgery etc) got in the way of where we wanted to be. I, like the previous posters, feel a little better about next year.

    I have to agree. If you look back mid season we were not much better than some of this year. Stop start footy, bomb it long and turn it over a lot. Then for a magic 8 week period everything just clicked and we went into September on a high and played 2 great finals but then hit the wall. Wonderful interview and insight

    All of the above. Great interview.  Restored some 'lost' belief in our coaching and playing groups, and very importantly, 2020.

    That an easy draw rjay, though I would like to make finals on the back off beating some of this years finalists not just the bottom teams twice.

    Top interview, Thanks for that DD.

    I am pleased  that Brendan acknowledges Gawn and Viney as our two invested best leaders and that Petrac in his opinion will make  it to his potential.  Brendan helped build the platform and now the players need to produce..

    I believe we  are in good hands. Time will tell.

    You only had to listen to Clarry thanks macca in his B&F speech to realise how good he has been for the club. Great person who will be missed.

    You do have to wonder about McCartney leaving the club. I know in some cases change can be good, but I worry that we've got rid of the wrong bloke and that had we decided to pull the trigger on Goodwin, would Macca still be around?

    Very highly respected and it's hard not to look at this with concern. Let's hope we get our coaching right in 2020 though.

    Macca was offered another contract but turned it down to pursue other opportunities.  I think he felt it was time to move on to new things.

    Not sure that "Got rid of" is right, I get the feeling he thought it was time to do something else. Good luck to him and thanks for nurturing guys like Harmes and Trac.

    Seems like a good communicator, so it's odd his communication is reputedly poor.

    He was never going to say the players, coaches and club are rubbish.

    He also didn’t have to say all the positive things he did.

    Footy clubs are very incestuous environments. I reckon 5 years is about enough before the law of diminishing returns sets in, for both coach and club. For a senior coach maybe 5-10 years if successful. Clarkson, Scott, Buckley, Hardwick etc are pushing the envelope. And Hardwick aside, there are many in these clubs that feel the others should move on.

    That's true, but they wouldn't have been anywhere near our score but for the two goals they got from kicking our guys in the head and pretending they tripped over.

    You don't get far in this industry criticising people. Ask Dale Lewis how his post football career has gone............

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
