    Gosh a lot of us here have had to eat copious amounts of humble pie in 2021 havent we. Not just the goodwin guys but theres  been quite a few pies made to feed folks here  in regards to Lever, May, Neale Bullen, Spargo and Harmes as well  . In regards to my particular slice...( Im sorry Spargo) I can only say that humble pie never tasted so good and please serve me up another  big slice on Sat night!

    That’s a terrific honour for Simon, and I agree with his comment thats it’s a recognition of where the club is at.

    What a turn around. Most likely to be fired to coach of the year in 6 months.

    Is he the guy though?

    Yes. Yes he is. Wouldn't take another coach ahead of him.

     Congrats Goody. Ted Lasso inspired love for his players has turned it around. Burgess and Choco also share in this. I’d still give Clarko the job if he was available.

    Just a fantastic achievement. 

    Well done Goody and thank you for bringing us so much joy to us in what's been an extremely dark year for all.

    Seems wildly unfair that anyone on here can slag off any one of our players or coaching staff and wind it back with a 'schucks, I got it wrong' mea culpa, but gloating is considered so unseemly in comparison. And I use the term 'mea culpa' deliberately, we simply wouldn't be here on grand final eve if a lot of our fans and posters got their way last year.

    Anyways, [censored] it: I've always thought Simon was the right guy, and my record will reflect that, and I feel especially chuffed with this recognition for Goody for what he has turned this team into. Go Dees!  And for anyone still deflecting to (the undoubtedly influential) Yze and Choco as prime instigators of our flag charge, look up confirmation bias and then go back and reflect on our past four years as a club under Goodwin.

    A good coach can coach a good side but it takes and exceptional coach to turn the worst club in the comp, by far, in to a grand finalist.

    Perhaps, we as supporters, didn't quite understand just how badly run we were and how hard it was for the administration and the coach to turn it around. After listening to the story of how it all came about, as related by PJ, I understand what we had to to through.

    Goody has done an exceptional job as coach of the Melbourne Footy Club.

    He certainly deserves this award, and not because we finished on top, but because of the fantastic job he's done over the last 5 years.

    Fantastic recognition of the work and accomplishments he has achieved so far this year. One major one to go though, keep on trucking Goody.

    For some reason I have been drawn to Simon Goodwin from the get go, maybe it was because Roo’s and PJ anointed him or just his calmness and maturity. He won the boys over and surrounded himself with a winning support team and between Goody his coaching team and the playing group they have turned our club into a club to be proud of and now we are challenging for the Ultimate prize. Thank you PJ, Paul Roos and last but not least Simon Goodwin dual premiership player.!!!💕💙❤️

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
