Why Goodwins contract extension?

Why are we dealing with the disgraced Casey City Council?

Thats all.

Don't hold your breath Biff unless you ring in and ask they will not get asked. We are all too polite at the MFC.

 

Is extra heat being applied to Goodwin regarding wins, when we are cap-in-hand to members again?

Does he (Goodwin) still have the full confidence of the board? If so, Why? (Joking)

Does the club understand how angry the base are becoming with our performances?

Do the players have a handle on that same question?

Do we have a future in the league if members dont bail out the club?

How do we afford a home base if we already cant pay the bills?

Does the club understand how angry the base are becoming with our performances?

How does he convince members who are losing faith to donate money in these extreme times?

Does anyone still think 2019 was the abberation?

Does the club understand how angry the base are becoming with our performances.

given that a clear mandate in the 2022 blueprint was finals every year and a home base close to the mcg, how long is the legrope on these failing to happen? if goodwin doesn't guide us to finals in 2020, is there a getout clause of his extended contract? what are the timelines around a decision being announced for a homebase and where does that position pert as ceo going forward?

When will Demonland finally be consulted on match day strategy, team selection and general strategy?

 

 

When will our AFLX premiership finally be presented to the members on game day?

Since when did beige Moleskins and shiny R.M Williams become part of our corporate uniform?

Why are we employing so many corporate assistants when the entire economy is flatlining?

Can we sack 20 of the off-field parasites and get a proper forward coach?

I agree

Demonland can easily replace them all. 

I for one really think @picket fence would shine in a match day role.

You know it makes it sense

What are the ramifications for the FD if we don't play finals this year considering the 4 year strategy unveiled at the AGM was to play finals every year from 2020-2023?

If a decision had to be made on Goodwin would the club be able to pay him out considering he is contracted to end of 2022?

What are the implications for the board who approved Goodwin's contract extension if we are hamstrung by that contract?

When will we hear any concrete announcements regarding a home base? Timeframes?

What revenue streams are we going to rely on to make up the lost revenue after we exit from the pokies?

What other revenue streams are the board working on to make up the shortfall in revenue in 2020?

Have the AFL confirmed we will be hosting Anzac Eve and Queens Birthday next year?

That's a start

Most of that will be too hard Dr.

Goodwin's tenure as coach really needs to be put to Bartlett (and to not accept cop-out answers).

The board unnecessarily extended his contract for way too long, that puts us in a position that has us stuffed financially if we get rid of him early, or even more stuffed with membership retention (ultimately financially) if we don't.

What’s the question?

I don't doubt it od. But I'd still like to see the questions asked. Put the heat on to let them know the supporters will not put up with another year like last year.  They are at risk of losing all the gains since 2014 (membership and revenue wise) in the space of 12 months!

They don't have an easy job but it seems to have been made harder by their own rash decision making. They need to know the supporters won't just let things roll on, there needs to be accountability.

I'm one who last year would've been labelled an "apologist" for Goodwin, the players and the club - but my patience has run out. I said I'd give them 2020 to see how they responded from 2019 and the early numbers don't look promising.

Can we trade back in Watts or Hogan?

Lets go one better and re-recruit Morton as well.   Hell get Cook for the forwardline.


Are there  KPI's linked to Goody's contract extension?

And if not, why not after having to pay out previous coaches contracts?

Now you're asking the right questions

i'm in the same boat re goodwin; really not liking what we've seen so far in the regular season at all

it's harder to judge the board, but they shifted their own goalposts with the introduction of the new ceo, who is in his second year

what actual effect will going to the afl to survive the covid crisis have beyond not being in debt to them?

what are the timeframes on any proposed development would be a start - even around when an announcement beyond 'some time before 2022' would force them to have some degree of accountability

they've put the onus on the afl and aflw coaches demanding finals every year; if the new ceo's sole kpi is a home base, they need to do more than just announce an 'intention' to have one near the g

No doubt they'll use covid as an excuse and it may well have disrupted plans. But for an organisation that has had this as a key issue for decades excuses no longer gain traction. Covid or not we just want answers and action.

Interesting question Biffen. Corrupt former CEO, corrupt councillors getting developer kickbacks. Plant a few trees for windbreaks and all will be forgiven!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
