    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.

    Also Goody leaving maybe done in a similar fashion to Roffey leaving. That being the fact that it was very sudden and she was seen days or even hours before she stepped down. Which makes me think maybe goodie knows possibly that he is leaving already provided that Roffey knew before it was announced and kept doing duty's until the announcement. I feel it might be a trend if more people go similar to how Roffey left

    It should also be noted that when Roffey left, A replacement was announced immediately that being green. If they stick to that similar fashion with goodie it's possible the headhunting is done and a replacement will be announced asap

    I cannot remember a time where a coach has been sacked with an immediate permanent coach put in place.

    They'll go through the normal process and conduct interviews with a number of applicants.

    This is what might be unique about our case. Although I think Paul roos was fairly similar to what could happen soon if the rumours

    As I said it's possible that the process is already done which would make our case unique due to time constraints. Unless we can have the process of a coach search completed within a few weeks

    Do you reckon it can be completed within a few weeks?

    West Coast had a shorts list of dozens that included Cox, Hansen, Gianciracusa and many more and the only one who was actually interested was well down the list in our midfield coach, who our list had the benefit of having as our midfield coach under Goody this year. 
    That’s with the benefit of months to put feelers out, run a thorough coaching search and recruitment process, install the coach early enough to have them start establishing their assistant coaching team and get everyone in the list management, drafting and recruitment team on the same page with what needs to happen with the list in the free agency, trade and draft period and to be ready to run a full pre-season as head coach. 
    If Goody leaves now we will have time for none of this, we also only have Troy Chaplin of our senior assistant coaches left, leaving us with three key coaching vacancies Head, Mid and Forward in a shallow pool of available quality head coaches and coaches more generally. It would also leave us no time due a well run appointment process and with the senior management either involved in or being reviewed It would render any FD review useless as everything would change before the review even gets going. Not to mention our players love him and if he leaves on the eve of trade week all these players allegedly wanting out will go from mere murmurs to outright mutiny. 

    Sacking or having Goody stand down now would be a suicidal debacle!!!

    Yeah that's quite fair. That's what I was thinking. Although Brett ratton got sacked from saints On October 13 but they were probably already talking to Ross

    Jesu Christe! This thread is full of Graduates [censored] [censored] Laude of the Zelensky Academy for Farcical Comedy.

    Sack the coach, sack the coach, sack the coach

    He a cockroach, 

    knows SFA about the game

    will be replaced by Roffey

    the sooner the better

    that she came.

    So here's a coach who won a flag three years ago, got hammered by injuries towards the end of 2022, even more so late '23, was always two players down in '24, because of Angus and Smith, got hammered by injuries even more this season, and many armchair critics on this site are so in the know about what it takes to coach an AFL side that I'm stunned none of you are getting a gig.

    Then there are the 'gossip mongers', the clowns who believe every bit of Fantasyland blurted out by a very mediocre and biased media.

    Goody is not going anywhere this off season unless a) we have a replacement already lined up or b) the review finds evidence so damning that his position is untenable 

    Unless either of these are the case, now is not the time to be removing our senior coach, particularly when we’ve already lost two senior assistants and we’re only a month away from pre season

    Apparently, one is either not allowed to use the Latin Term Academic term '[censored] Laude' on this site, or, the censors don't know Latin. Here be the Dictionary meaning:  "[censored] laude" is a Latin term that translates to "with praise" or "with honor" in English.

    I'd hate to Graduate in their presence if I had achieved high honor.

    Should we start a 'nearest the pin'?

    1. John Longmire 'sick of this ---' and leaving Sydney to become a senior assistant at West Coast.

    2. Essendon arrested. Just, the whole club. Gotta be sure. I the US they called it a RICO case, I believe.

    3. ATO to investigate Geelong after discovering 2/3rds of the Bellarine Peninsula is 'mysteriously' negatively geared.

    Yeah good one with the Fremantle one.

    I'd honestly be very surprised on top of everything else that's going on off field with the review, that they'd actually find the time to be talking to other potential applicants and then coming up with some sort of agreement all behind Goodys back.

    Not sure Brad Green is capable of doing this amongst everything else.

    Agree totally with you, I don’t think we would have time to be talking to other applicants or not have it leak to someone.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
