Clarkson and Dimma were both almost sacked and were hated by their supporters. 

In this thread I have read Goodwin is too innovative and he is also not good enough tactian. 

It just amazes me how negative some people are.

    That’s great that Richo is impressed & Im sure Goody is very innovative etc but the reality is it’s a win/loss caper and achieving the ultimate success! The MFC have for the past 5 decades talked up a lot etc but when I see other successful clubs they let their football do the talking! I cringe hearing to hell & back.. back to what??? We haven’t achieved anything! Play that stuff when u win a flag!!! I wish nothing more than Goody success eg but keep the talking in house! Shut up & do ur talking on the field!

    It's been more than 15 years. Closer to 25. When we were about to merge with Hawthorn I used to email my opinion to Andy (Mr demonland) and he had to keep telling me to write on the forum.

    I think the software changed about 15 years ago and didn't keep track of your history.

    Innovation is important, but only when a club has the basics of the game absolutely nailed, and my read on 2019 is as much as injuries killed us, they also caused us to make the mistake of trying to go with the same gameplan without the personnel to execute it effectively rather than move back to just focusing on the fundementals of the game. 

    I sincerely hope this is a massive lesson for Goodwin that will make him a better coach. you can only innovate from a solid foundation of basic football fundementals. if you don't have that, you lose your game style totally and that's what happened in 2019

    Rubbish.

    What really counts is premierships and what is required to achieve those can be substantially different from just achieving a few wins.

    I'm quite happy to write off 2019 given the circumstances, so long as we are building towards sustained success.

    I'm also in the camp of sticking with Goodwin and riding it out where ever that takes us.  He's a smart, passionate football guy who has the respect of his team at the same time as demanding high standards of performance on and off the field.  I don't think it would do the team any good for us to become a revolving door of senior coaches.

    Time to stick fat as MFC supporters, we have a team loaded with midfield talent that is comming into the prime of it's career.

    Rubbish yourself, if you win enough games to get into the finals then win all finals you will win the premiership!

    • 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.

    • 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?
