Goodwin shows some emotion...finally

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

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
