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!

We need a poll.

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.!!!💕💙❤️

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
