I tend to find that comments based on 'body language' tend to be most akin to Rorschach tests.

    Ugh, I'm up in arms with all the amateur psychoanalysts on here...

    If you seriously think you can judge someone from what you view in the false reality that is a press conference...consider

    • your own expectations
    • your own prejudices
    • your own experiences of how you were 'coached' and how that informs what coaches should behave like (and understand that you and your experiences are not the rest of your cohorts, let alone the rest of the population)
    • flip it on it's head. If Melbourne had made the 8 and met versions of your own expectations, you'd consider the bloke to be pretty relaxed considering the $hitstorm his personal life has been over the last year or so, whilst turning up to a high profile job...but just because we missed the 8...it MUST mean x, y, z...

    also...me earlier.... "just leave Goodwin alone...sob"

    No-ones claiming to be experts, rather, merely some observations on what we observed. And body language is an indicator of mood. Perhaps we see it differently, but to me he was as flat as a tack, and if so, that feeling is passed on to the others, staff and players. 

    You are just guessing

    We have two members of the Board who played at the highest level, one who also worked as an assistant coach. We have two ex AFL coaches, one of whom won a premiership and both of whom also have extensive experience as assistants. We have one of the highest-ranked assistant coaches, not to mention other members of the FD who played AFL or who have been working in the AFL for years. Yet at the centre of all this, our head coach is a "fraud"?

    Do you even think about what you write?

    If posters are being this nasty and vicious towards Simon Goodwin before we've even played a game, one shudders to think what new level of vitriol they have in reserve if things don't go well this season.

    Looked like a bloke happy the season is about to start to me. The only thing I would say is that he's starting to look like Dexter Morgan.

    What rubbish, nasty and vicious ? 

    Vitriol? 

    Observations from a group of supporters that want to see the team have success and be coached by a motivated switched on coach, hopefully Simon Goodwin. That’s all. 

    His behaviour or presentation is not very reassuring. I hope I am wrong.

    It's not just this thread, Ernest.  There have been some horrible things posted on this site about our coach.

    Too many wannabe body language experts on this site.

    Yep

    Missed finals last year losing to two bottom sides

    Missed finals in 2019 because errr pre-season surgeries

    Missed finals in 2017 because we couldn't beat 13th placed Collingwood in final round (not laying a tackle in hte first 20 mins they were so pumped up)

    missed finals in 2016 losing to bottom placed Essendon and bottom 5 Carlton

     

    He is an inspirational motivator. No doubt.

    People forget what tiger supporters were saying about Hardwick at the end of 2016......

    Part of footy and only more so with social media and supporter forums like this

    Least interesting coach i can remember. Makes me miss Danners more each time i see Goodwin interviewed.

    We need someone who has energy and inspiration for his players. This bloke has neither.

    Been saying it for years....Goodwin is a fraud.

    I've often wondered if your moniker is based on the Chuck Berry song? I think there is a definite connection.

    Wowwee I know we’re wanting success but let’s get into real season mode before slagging off the coach for his body language and ability to pronounce words with “r”s in them from a press call before rnd 1. 
    We [censored] and moan if he is rar rar and poo poo if he is passive ffs.

    They're the ink blot tests that a psychiatrist may show you and ask you what you see. Link: Rorschach test - Wikipedia

    In reality they're just blots of ink on a page with no meaning. Despite this, the patients will often see meaning in them, revealling more about the issues in the patient's head.

    In other words, I find that comments about body language only really reveal the poster's issues, not the subject's.

    Thanks Bob, you are a much nicer poster than me, I would have kept the morons in the dark.

    Paul Simon's press conference was absolutely fine to me.  He was smiling, upbeat and positive.  From much the commentary here I was expecting a Rhyce Shaw 2020 performance.

    Well, if you've been paying attention, I own my abrasive side and my mistakes and shortcomings.

    That's a lot more than some on here.

    On Brown: 'Back playing some form of footy between round 5 and round 7' 

    By round 7 Goodwin may be out of a job. I can’t believe they picked up Daw because he was soon as way to replenish our lost talls, but even after kicking four goals, we hear that he isn’t ready for selection and is a long term prospect. Goodwin must really not want to keep his job.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
