Bevo way too tough for our playing group.

They don't want anything to do with him.

I'd almost reckon that Bevo could re-kindle his Demons association - and he has the coaching experience. Certainly, for me, an improvement on the incumbent albeit a rather massive re-design. Amusing thoughts.

I would personally like to see someone come in with a bit more mongrel, I think that's where we lack.  Skills are there, we need hunger and some more edge.

Whether we need a new coach or coaching team.   We definitely need more mongrel. 
 

far too soft. You should never share a joke with someone who has DELIBERATELY ended a mates career.

When you see a player shake hands with a thug who ended one of your team mates career you know we are as soft as butter.

Wait who did that?  I did not see that, thankfully, I would have threw up on the spot.

[Little Goffy 12,982]

Surely if Goodwin was thinking of moving to Adelaide (the city) at the end of 2025, there would have been succession discussions with Yze and he never would have taken the poisoned chalice Richmond job?

yeah soft as

Trac just played on with broken ribs and ruptured spleen

not physically or mentally soft, our Trac. He is just able to differentiate during game with pre or post game

Its a mental thing. In your wildest dreams could you imagine a Pies player doing the same thing? The pies just wanted to win more than us it was obvious to everyone.

I don't agree that Trac is mentally soft. quite the opposite

Yep, I could see Moore or Sidebottom doing the same thing

Not a Viney or Maynard though

 

I agree with your last comment of course, they were far more committed and wanted it more

A couple of years ago we took the field against Sydney, and May moved to shake hands with Buddy Franklin, who ignored him and walked straight by. It [censored] me off at the time but in reflection it was a solid F-you psychological move. I would have felt much better had this been our modus operandi regarding Thug Maynard against the Pies.

Not that it would happen, but it would be funny to replace a coach accused of wasting a golden era with another coach accused of wasting a golden era.

Goodwin is going nowhere. He will be with us till the end of his contract.

If you think he can coach then i'm happy for you. Proof is there that he's a stubborn autocrat who's wasted the last 2 years. Shache as a sub in a semi-final tells you all you need to know.

He will not be a head coach at AFL level again. Go and read the Adelaide boards and see what they think of one of their own as a coach.

That was Goodwin's single worst moment as coach of the MFC. Intentionally playing one man down in a high stakes final.

Carlton bring on a fresh sub in Ollie Hollands, on a warm night, who was instrumental in their game winning passage of play with 45 second left. 

Meanwhile our sub was a 200cm maligned player with absolutely no intention of bringing him on.

He’s got more flags than either of their coaches. 
 

also, going to big footy to get a feel for things is generally wise. I think most club executives and performance teams do the same.

...and as we have seen, the outcome is that under Badloss' tutelage, the MFC must tolerate 'going nowhere' in advance, so very often.

I suggested to my Adelaide cohort a trade of Goodwin for Darren Burgess and almost got poleaxed for it.
