I don't know about you, but I needed the channel 7 cameras to capture Goodwin smashing the desk after a poor effort in the D50 that led to a Hawks goal. With "Goody',  It's always the smirk or the blank, thousand yard stare, or even the Krusty the Klown face. but for the first time, I saw some passion for the club from the coach. Thank God.  For me, a great sign. I'd love to know if others felt this was a watershed moment.

    It's only a watershed moment for the people who were saying tripe like "he shows no emotion" "he talks in coach speak instead of real terms" etc. 

    He hasn't changed. Their perception of him has.

    Perhaps because he was showed doing it. If so, a perception can form...

    Thought the same thing - great to see some real emotion from Goody!

    It was very Chris Scott esque, quite alarming honestly.

    I do agree, it was great to see some real passion! 

    How good was seeing Clarko with his head in his hands tho, that was priceless. 

    Up the mighty demons!

    Things were said. He has taken notice

    You really think he pays any attention to noise

    I asked other coaches about his demeanour in the box, answer if he is too busy melting, he is not coaching

    You will get the occasional annoyance, but straight back to business 

    He is not the type and I prefer the way he is, trying to teach the players to stay calm and collected, not a good example if he is going off in the box

    Too little is far better than too much, but just a little emotion and a bit of fire in the press conference would surely be good for everyone.

    We were about 5 goals when we did that. I immediately said to my missus that was legit the first time I've seen the coach actually show some anger.

    I personally loved it!

    Great win. Unfortunately I can't get passed the first three minutes of any presser/interview with Goodwin win or lose. Who knows? He may turn out to be a great coach. But hearing him talk?  Rather have a tooth extracted.

    I know what was said, was told by someone involved

    You can prefer whatever you like

    Sorry if already been said but does anyone know why he lost his cool.at that moment?

    Just a guess Red....someone told him the last post on the ‘Right Guy’ thread was July 12.

    In all seriousness, it might have come from I think Gus and Pickett not being clean enough at half forward and the Hawks rebounding for a goal. We were 48 up at the time. It was shortly after that.

    Your opinion, I have been told the opposite

    And heard it repeated by a coach recently

    Care to name your source?

    Mine was Troy Chaplin, in an online briefing for members

    Can’t say to much EO but i think we have all seen a much more energized Goody over the last 2 games

    Good on him too

    • 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.
