Goodwin won't coach again after Melbourne, everyone else knows he's incompetent.

Bevo way too tough for our playing group.

😂🤣 Have 19 words ever been more hilariously wrong?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The suggestion of Goodwin going to Adelaide or Port has their respective BigFooty posters petrified.

    They don't want anything to do with him.

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

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
