Time to go Goody?

Slow ball movement stagnated forward line. Time to go if you care about the club Goody you should take sole responsibility for the disasterous year we have had. We need to rebuild and Goody is not the man to take us there unless you want a Simpson type form line. Roffey if you are worth your weight you should sack him now. Time to release Jeffo

    Goodwin needs to be moved into the Chief Vibe Coordinator role and replaced with an actual match day coach

    Yeah, nah, goody is the only coach in my lifetime to take us too a flag, get a few draft picks and bounce back, I think Goody is doing amazingly well considering the number of young players in the team that are not all top draft picks like gold coast or hawks, I’d almost say Goody is coach of the year even though we missed finals

    Goodwin still deserves to turn things around next season but he's burnt his tickets up quicker than any other coach in recent memory. 

    He has coached poorly this year. And as a club we've been poor this year just as we were in 2019. It might take a while to right this ship. But it's definitely the end of an era.

    There is no way we Sack our premiership coach after 1 bad season, we were top 4 3 years running no other club comes close...we have had the worse run of injuries and have blooded some decent kids, and still in the fight for the 8.. 

    With a decent preseason and getting our boys cherry ripe with a additional couple players replacing Gus and Smith we are still in position to be top 4 next year

    I think Goody has to make some changes (from my very humble point of view). I'd love to see him get a little more creative with tactics and player positions, and change the way he uses the sub. But I'm not convinced we need a new coach right now. I can't see anyone on the open market offering more than he does at the moment. Plus, having to deal with all the [censored] that comes with finding and adjusting to a new coach is exhausting.

    I'm not in the 'sack Goody' camp but going out in straight sets two years in a row compounds the issue. I still believe he can turn it around next year, we just need some pizzaz, if you will.

    2022 and 2023 were both bad seasons though.

    The fault here lies squarely at the feet of Tim Lamb. 

    His inability to recruit a single senior player to add to this team is a travesty. Worse, those he has added are genuinely negatives from a competitiveness and physicality POV. 

    To maintain a competitive list you need both trading and drafting to be on point. We built our flag with draft + Langdon, Lever, Hibberd, Melksham, May. We haven't added a single solid piece since. 

    I said at the start of the year that we were a Trac injury away from missing finals - I was right. I'm not sure what we expected tbh when our midfield depth consists of Laurie, Woewoedin, Tholstrup. They're just kids - but it's just not at the level. We knew Oliver would be poor. I don't think any of us thought Viney would be this poor. Deloitte might have broken him...

    We simply had to add some senior, good players to this team after the flag. Richmond went and got Tom Lynch. We got Grundy...

    It's crazy how inept our trading has been, while our drafting has been mostly excellent.

    Double straight sets a success is it? Win at least one of those and we probably have a flag. 
     

    I think it’s the right time for a FD reset. Things have turned stagnant and we need to search for our next premiership coach.

    His ball movement is too slow he's too defensive he will have to completely change his coaching style to be successful again so why waste our time with him at the helm. A new coach will be a breath of fresh air to a stale list.

    Goodwin won't be going anywhere so stop wasting your breath, but a new raft of assistants would probably be a good idea.

    Bevo has never been afraid of trying things and moving players around. Goodwin never makes a move until the game is gone. Their situations are poles apart.

    Brayshaw was a huge huge loss.

     
    Losing Trac halfway through the year wasn’t part of the plan either. 
    Next year will tell us more.

    Bevo was close to getting booted this year. Funny how he has turned it around. We however go the other way.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
