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.

    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

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
