I agree with above comments totally and for awhile now I have wondered why the MFC have always given Goody a very senior assistant and wonder if it has any thing to do with their concern over his stand alone coaching ability ? Other Clubs do not appear to have the same setup as we have had in this regard.

I also feel that if Goody does not get the results the Board desire within his current contract that he will be moved on and I suspect Yze may be the next coach in waiting.  What do you think ???

Yes Goodwin has had 4 mentors now. Clearly the club believes he is not capable and are hedging their position

I cannot believe that the club gave this guy 4 years

It has the possibility of sinking the club

This is another  desperate move to cover arzes. A better move would have been to sack him and appoint a proper coach.Why wait till halfway through next season?

Agree.... Look at Richardson's role next year. It appears his chain of command is above that of Goodwin's. He will not be in "the Box" on game day and he was a failure at St Kilda... Watch this space.... Yze will be Coach in waiting and I say that because he is an accredited level 4 coach and has applied for other Teams coaching position. 

Sack him! I'm sure I heard Yze use the word 'learnings' in that interview.

 

Listening to Yze comments on our list, it was the lines a good collection of individual talents yet to gell as a system or team (paraphrased), that caught my attention.

I think we have assembled the pieces/players, from which to construct a top 4 team, we now need to do it. Yze's role (and Goodwin's) seems to now be focused on bringing it all together into a team... team rules, game plan, culture, leadership, coaching all combining to delive a team.

That Goodwin wanted Yze last year, shows he's been aware of the issue and challenge that he's looking for Adem to assist with. 

Really positive development.

I think we all heard it and it’s Incredibly disappointing to see it’s taking so long for the coaches and players to be able to work together for the one goal of a flag.

Super excited about Yze. Less so about Goodwin.

I think you need to look at the age of our midfield jets. It is not unusual to hear that young players learn first to fight To get a game, then sustain a spot in the team. Then they fight to make a role their own and do what I can do to win. Then they learn that its doing what’s needed for the team that’s gets you wins. Our mids are ready for that now if executed with them in the right way.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
