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 !!

    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.

    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

    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

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
