    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.!!!💕💙❤️

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
