Simon Goodwin is the 4th most successful coach in the club’s history.

Wikipedia lists all our coaches and their win - loss records.

Cheers

It’s actually incredible how much of our historical success is accounted for by Smith and Hughes. As in, all of it, other than 1926 and 2021, with the early century flags being coachless. It puts Goodwin’s achievement in to perspective a bit.

He’ll pass Barassi for games coached in 2022 and Northey in 2023. Needs to still be around in 2026 to pass Danners to slot in to third. Incredible, doesn’t feel like he’s been around that long, just goes to show how little longevity there is in senior coaching circles.

By my calcs, Goody will need to still be going around in 2029 to pinch top spot, and that’s if we regularly play finals. That seems fairly unlikely in this era.

With Big Carl, his 25.5% win:loss ratio probably improves not counting games he where he was suspended or injured.   He made his team walk taller.  Loved the big man!

Perhaps not coincidentally he’s also only our 4th Premiership Coach - I believe officially in 1900 the VFL didn’t recognize coaches. Over time some sources took to naming the team’s captain of the day as the “coach”, but that’s only in hindsight.

Sorry @Nasher, see you had the same thought,

Who would have thought that an assistant at TWSNBN would coach a Flag before the mentor...

I wonder why Chadwick didn’t keep coaching, what a record and I will look forward to reviewing Goodys stats at the end of his stint with us, if I am still kicking. Lol.!!

Agree Nasher how good are Norm Smiths and Checker Hugh’s records, where would we have been without them.!!!

I know how Barassi coached 111 games for the MFC since he was appointed in 1981-1985 and did not make the finals thus he coached 110 games in the 5 years.

I believe he was allowed to be Captain Coach in the last game of the 1964 season but he was not officially the coach.

Ron Barassi coached Melbourne in 1964 when Norm Smith was coaching Victoria.

My memory of Big Carl as a demon was Carl throwing a back hander and hitting Kelly O'Donnell in the gob.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
