I've not been a big fan of Goodwin for a while now. But i don't blame him for the Port lost. We had more of the ball, more inside 50's and took control of the corridor in that 1st quarter and players didn't lay a glove on Port. Then they capitulated in the 2nd when called to stand up.

Enough talking from the players, time for them to just play football and lets see which ones want to have successful careers.

Anyone with a subscription that can give us a little rundown or a good quote?

That you very much to the friendly Demonlander (who's identity I will keep secret!) for giving me a copy of the article.

I guess it's good to hear that Goody was fuming, as he should be. Adelaide will have a short break, and we should be looking to get back some pride so there is no reason why we don't come out super hard against them.

If I had to make a prediction, I think we will

1) Smash Adelaide - we will be fuming and they are rubbish

2) There will be plenty of back slapping and comments about how that was our brand etc etc

3) Get rolled by North

That's exactly what I'm thinking also. 

Our problems are cultural and I can't see that changing in my lifetime.

Maybe it is Goodwins inability to get the message across that is the main problem.

If so, he joins a group that includes Daniher and Paul Roos of coaches who regularly saw the players serve up soft efforts in weeks where it looked like they just couldn't be bothered.

As I said to one of Goodwins friends not long after he took the job...he doesn't know what he's getting himself into. At MFC, a coach can't even rely on the players showing personal pride in their intensity and effort levels consistently. F#$ked if i know how you can develop and implement a gameplan when blokes squib it as regularly as ours do.

So he should be. i think i speak for everyone when i say the thing all fans want to see as a non negotiable is effort and care. and if we lose but we have a crack most of us can wear that. 

but with this team, and this coach i sometimes wonder.

I think Godwin is p.... off because he knows the heat is coming for him. I am not convinced it is the sort of anger we feel for our Club. He can see personal failure again just like when he got done for gambling and mixed up in the Essendon business.

Everyone has their own reasons, he wants to keep his job. That’s fine

Make it happen. The only way he will stay Coach is if we get serious and win Big Games

Sadly i fear even if we lost every game for the rest of the season Goodwin would still retain his position for 2021

You are getting personal now, no need for it.

Boom boom, Goodwin is a public figure, a leader of young men, his gambling and involvement with the Essendon saga are on the record and are public information. Both give an insight into the guy. The first speaks of personal greed and the second vanity. His stubborness is the cause of much of our current woes and it is important to understand the man to understand how he will handle this crisis.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
