Such a driven man. What mental toughness to get through the last 3 years and get us here. 

he has the players, has built a culture of trust or selflessness. 

Very glad to have him. Congratulations Goody!

 

Humble comments by Goodwin that aren’t unexpected but I really think without Burgess, Choco and Ooze we’d not be where we are or Goodwin is today. 
 

The sum of all Parts indeed. 

 

Alastair CLarkson has never been coach of the year..

 

Just saying

 

Congrats Goody. Has grown in the role and looks very comfortable.

This is the core of his genius McQueen. He lets other people shine around him and do what they do well. He coaches from the boundary and let’s yze watch from above ( he’s the only coach that does this all game) He’s very calm and measured but choco is explosive. He showed by example what being part of and committing to the team looks like. 

Some credit for this needs to go to our administration that could have gone fully Carlton and sacked Goody before he got the oppertunity that he has had to build the level of trust and maturity in the playing group that has been so essential to our success this year. Also that we havr gone out and recruited some of the best for Goody and the team to work with (how much of a coup has it been recruiting Darren Burgess).

I love that Goody has won this award and congratulations.  But I'll really celebrate if he emulates what a select few of the past winners of this award did and go on to win the premiership.

As I'm sure the man himself would say - "Jobs not done yet!"

I must admit that it took me a while to warm to Goody's press conferences.  To some extent it was because the standard had been set pretty high by Roos in this regards, but also because the different more simple, monotone and low-key approach of Goody in the way he communicates.  But as the years have gone on even Goody's pressers have grown on me and he's probably also lifted his game in this area as he's built confidence in himself as senior coach.  It's also much better and easier to hear from a coach of a successful, winning side.

The thing that concerns me is the winner hasn't won the premiership since 2017 hopefully this changes.

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.

Great sentiments.

But also let's celebrate Troy Chaplin coming 2nd in the Assistants category. There's heaps more of these group and Chaplin can claim responsibility in part for developing the best team defence in the AFL and the best I have seen in 57 years.

It’s time for Troy to get his own thread.💕

It has been telling to hear from a number of players over the past week or so attribute their season in part to conversations with Goodwin.  They include Oliver, McDonald and May (via Hibberd).  

May and T Mac have had terrific seasons but just imagine if we had lost Oliver.

 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.  

Yze.

To (mostly) what you've all said:

👍

The coach of the year should be renamed the coaching team of year because they all work together along with the players, trainers and fitness staff to get the result, as Ollie Wines said the medal is his but all the other coaches, players, trainer and fitness staff made it possible.

Amazing how you've changed your tune after 5 years of negativity.

"Why hasn't Goodwin been sacked already?"

"You could give him 50 yrs but the club would be gone within 4. Can't coach, stubborn, bereft of ideas how to fix straightforward issues."'

"No team has consistently won finals with a defence as weak as ours. It's objectively true yet a lot here think our defence is doing a good job. We can't defend once the ball goes into our back 50. It's simply undeniable."

"It's an indictment on the club regardless of 'how far we've come'. It's failure pure and simple. Just like its a failure to lose like we did against Geelong. We are a mentally weak club. Supporters should demand more."

Didn’t even bother with the great get out of jail free card: “I hope I’m wrong, but…”

Premature Announcement 

While Goody coaching us through to the GF warrants the accolades, what I’m loving are all the  things in motion now to further improve us in the future…

Things like giving the whole squad a taste of the GF build up and sense of inclusion, resigning Weid, trawling for Cerra, etc…

He, and the club, are intent on building a dynasty, and one facet of our history that’s been overlooked with the focus on the 57 year drought, is that when we win one 🏆 we generally win several.

very impressive by Simon and the club.

Fingers crossed for Saturday, but should the gods not favour us, I’ll be content, as Simon has led us across the Rubicon and further good times await.

Go Demons!

What a great accolade and what a year it's been.  Now to bring it home & become a legend of the club / AFL 🙏🤞

Assume he can see Caleb Daniels. 26 possessions in a half. Really setting up the dogs.  It was so obvious.  
 

Forget awards.  This 2nd Half is his time to prove himself.  I’m keeping faith just.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
