I reckon the lack of respect here for Goody is pretty poor.

Why do we ever need Yze to take over? Why couldn't Goody leave when he's grey and old, ala Ferguson at Man United?

I'd love Yze to stay at the MFC, but if he wants to become a senior coach, he needs to go elsewhere.

Disgraceful really..

Goody's coaching has frustrated me at tines this year but there is absolutely no one else I want coaching this footy club other then Goody.

There is only one reason he came back to the MFC.

He thought Goody was toast.

Tonight and last week has really fkd me off something chronic.

Yep, agree. Would have expected the job was 50-50 his partway through 2021.

I'd second that.

Said it last week as a succession plan was berated on here

Goodwin puts in another half season of this Carp and it is possible

bet you have changed your tune now according to your twitter ;)

 

hes a disaster. An Arrogant disaster

Let’s send Goodwin to Essendon. They said they want an experienced coach and promote Yze as our head coach. 
how can we make this happen?

If that happens it tells me the club haven't matured one iota.

The real issue is the test now on Goody to re-set the team and coaching strategies and style to take the list deep into 2023. The window can't be wasted with the talent we have at present.

The next 1 to 2 years will now tell us if Goody has it or not.

Move him on and we DO become a laughing stock again.

Over to you Simon.

all this extolling of yze's abilities has me confused

our midfield is lax defensively and regularly makes poor decisions and can't execute basic skills

if he gets a go at another club as a senior coach good luck to him, but he's not the messiah by any stretch of the imagination

No.

Goody's coaching has frustrated me more as the season gone on. 

But in no way form do i/we need a coaching change. But we're allowed to get frustrated you know. 

Some of the calls on here for him to be sacked/moved on have been ridiculous.

i dont agree he should be sacked at all. but he does need to learn to be more open to being bold, and seriously needs a better judge of talent in his squad

Only a group of Melbourne supporters would want to change their premiership winning coach for an untried senior coach because he played for Melbourne.

It's as bad as Essendon supporters entertaining Hird as a coach because he's a legend of their club.

It's real big brain stuff.

Edited by A F

I am as [censored] as anyone about last night and how this season ended, but FFS what a joke to suggest we should get rid of Goodwin. 


Being reported that Ooze is the favourite for the bombers job

To say I have mixed feelings about this is an understatement. Any inexperienced coach will get eaten up by that dysfunctional club. Although they have a good list with some good kids. I doubt he’d have full control to do what needs to be done but good luck to him if he wants it

Yze to Essendon would be a disaster for him. That club is a coach-killer.

But I don’t know why there is such love for him/distrust of Goody on this thread. There can’t be any doubt that Yze had major input into the same game plan that everyone is criticising.

Over to you Simon.

He apparently has a good relationship with the players, so keep him as the face. But build around him and cover his weaknesses (which is hard with the soft cap)

need to cover 

- his poor match day strategy & moves

- his lack of ability to identify issues with the game plan, and be flexible enough to come up with solutions

- lack of experimentation. Why didn’t we try and fix obvious issues this year? 

- forward 50 connection 

 

anything else?

Prior to round 1 last year the job was probably 70% his. Would say we would have made a change if we started the year poorly in 2021. The rest is history.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.
