Some are going to struggle to fit this into their "Goodwin is the worst coach ever" narative...

    But the "brilliant" assistant coaches have all been punted or been forced to change their role....

    I listened to the whole interview on my sunday bike ride, a great interview and hard not to like BM's achievements over his entire football Journey.

    Looks at Goody as his little brother, vice versa and still embrace each other with a big hug and still will outside of the MFC.

    Did he mention anything about Goody being stubborn?

    No mention of it.

    And for anyone silly enough to think it is all spin, he was singing from the same hymn book 18 months ago when we were on our march to a prelim.

    However, a sensible person who wants another job in the industry does not bag their current employer or past employer. No reason to do so unless the employer publicly criticises the person. Not the case with BM. 

    BM has good reason to say only positive things.

    But the point is that he was saying the same things when he was firmly entrenched and we were heading towards moderate success.
    It's not simply something he has come out with to positively explain away his exit.

    He doesn't have to comment at all. He would still get a job in the industry.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
