I haven't read a single post in.this thread, so apologies if it's been covered.

Is goody a verb?

If so, what does it mean?

I'm thinking perhaps it's a typo, and thread title is actually

Time to go giddy?

Or perhaps goody is a euphemism?

For what, I'm shudder to think.

Is there a similar thread at Collingwood because they finished out of the 8,sliding down from a Premiership.

Then compare not just the injuries, but the quality(players) of injured time  !!!

I do not think Goodwin was responsible for Brayshaw, Oliver, Petracca , May, Lever , Gawn ets.

But he is responsible for EVERYTHING ELSE and on that level as a coach he has failed dismally in the last 3 years.

MFC BEST AND FAIREST SPEECH 2024 BY GOODY 

Summarized as 

thanks to Gus 👏👏

thanks to NIBBLER 👏👏

Thanks and farewell to Stafford and Plunkett 👏👏

Got to love the process 

Go to love the hard work 

it’s not results … it’s the journey 

The success is in loving the process 

it’s not about winning the GF , it’s the process

In following and loving the process, you will develop

Embrace the process, you must love the process 

I’m excited for the future 

We must fall in love for the process of self improvement 

So bring on 2025 

 

footnote from me … A few words slurred by Goody.  Perhaps get him to do his speech earlier in the night !!

i felt like he did have a few Shandys thats for sure lol


For some people it is time to go google 'parasocial relationship' and then book an appointment with a psychologist.

As much as I want Goody gone I do agree with the point about who would we replace him with? And even if we could find someone, I wouldnt like to put all the drama surrounding the club right now on a new coach, that would be completely unfair. Let the people in charge of this mess (the coach, the board, the president, the list management manager, the CEO) get it fixed or all go down in flames together next year. 

Edit: Also, would you trust this board and CEO with a new appointment? I wouldnt. Would much rather let a new CEO and board decide who the next coach would be if we got to that.

Danny Daly.

Has been Chris Fagans right hand man for the past couple of years and has been noted as a big architect in their success behind the scenes. 

Currently a wanted man around the country. Adelaide were chasing him hard as a senior assistant to support Matthew Nicks. 

Collingwood are also chasing him hard as we speak.

Fages pays full credit to Daly for his support and ability to provide calmness and stability when he was stood down for the racial investigation. A wise man who's an incredible character very similar to Fagan.

The question is though Dazzle, why would he want to come here as things stands if hes as popular as you say? Surely he can be picky?

Very similar to the mess that Chris Fagan walked into when he took on the Brisbane gig.

I dont seem to remember Fages being a hot candidate though.

No he wasn't. 

I believe they didn't attract many applicants because of how bad the place was and certainly wasn't an enticing place to attract good applicants at the time.

It took Greg Swann to pick up and put the call out to Fgan and asked if he was interested. 

Fagan was general manager of footy for the Hawks at the time and had always held interest in coaching so he took the call, went up and interviewed and the rest is history.

It’d be a TOUGH gig for an untried coach not just because of the apparent rabble at board/admin level but because the incumbent coach is much-loved by all of our best players (some of whom are already attempting to bail on us)… Adam Simpson or dare I say it Nathan Buckley seems like a more obvious fit given our situation.

Although not sure we could afford a big name if we asked Goodwin to leave and had to pay him out

Pretty sure Essendon have him locked up.

Honestly if you think the situation at Melbourne is a 'similar mess' to the death spiral which Fagan dragged Brisbane out of, you've lost touch with reality.

Is there any truth to the rumours in your opinion that goodie will be leaving after the reviews completion? A few people are saying that including a source reporting to fox sports. Do you reckon this is actually a likely thing that will happen behind the scenes?

There’s all sorts of rumours, one was doing the rounds last week that the B & F was going to be his last night as coach and it was to come with an announcement of Goody stepping down. Seems like that one missed.

If the rumor is true I would predict that it would be after the reviews completion. Because of the fact that like Roffey, She stepped down at a major event that included a review so therefore I would assume major announcements like this would come with some news on a review in a certain form

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
