Good, ran his race, set in his ways and couldn’t ring changes.

Happy for him and happy for us. 

I think I'd love Stafford to either be shuffled around so we get a new forwards coach as well as an Yze replacement. 

Lord knows we need it. Get some fresh ideas, faces and energy. 

 

 

Hope he has better luck teaching Toranto how to kick than he had at Melbourne with Trac, Viney and Oliver.

one of the coaches this weekend fits that category 

Technically, yes


Good luck to Adem.

Wonder when he starts there? He'd have inside IP on our trade and draft strategies unless we excluded him from the process because he was a candidate for this job, I'm not completely comfortable with that unless he trades Tom Lynch to us for a future 4th.

That'd be a decent catch I'm sure we'd be angling for, but there may be a roe of potential suitors lining up just for the halibut.

Roe?  Something fishy about this?

It was interesting to hear him say (paraphrasing) “at my last two clubs, I was in the drivers seat during game day”.  That’s really concerning that Goodwin is on the bench and another coach is running the game, while he has pep talks with the players.  As much as I hate the bloke, there is no way Chris Scott would do that, you can see him and the other coaches changing their style throughout the game from the box.

Yze runs the box. He did that at Hawthorn too and nobody complained about Clarkson. 
We won a flag with Goodwin coaching from the bench. 

I understand we have just disappointingly lost two finals, but not everything the club does needs to be thrown in the bin.

The head coach position has evolved into this and Goodwin was one of the trendsetters. There's a lot of demand on head coaches so I think it's smart to have a solid right hand when it comes to strategy so Goody can be more of an overseer and also focus on the relationship side of things.

I think this role is going to be one that we need to nail and it can't be anybody. Whoever we get needs to be his eyes on gameday and a very quick thinker. 

Congratulations to Ooze, loved him as a player, as a coach for us.

2021= flag 

2022= straight sets

2023= straight sets

Yze and Richo have been in the box and Goody on the boundary, we will now have to bring in a different person to fill this all important role or Chaplin/Richo moves into that role.

I totally agree but that’s a massive gamble to have a newbie in the seat with Goody on the bench.

 

I might be over thinking it….

Don’t worry BD I think that this last week has us all overthinking given our current situation, we all new that Ooze deserved a crack at a senior coaching role but we’re hoping against hope that he would be staying on. Now we are forced to make major changes with the inherent risk that a bad decision could impact or side and our club. Scary scenario.!!!


Just heard on the radio his wife asked him to bring home pizzas and he said he couldn't because he was wearing a Richmond polo. Surely he could have put a jumper on

I think Chris Fagan also coaches like that

Totally agree.  The role is more than just an assistant coach.  It's more like a second senior coach

I hope they still invite him to the BNF for a farewell.

Last year the sound of oooooze going round the building was massive. Bigger sound for Oooze than for Goody. Just saying.

He's been trying for a while 'Ethan'...this is probably the first time anyone has taken notice.

Macrae from the bench, Fagan from the box ...

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
