Time to go Goody?

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. 

Ross Lyon at Fremantle and St Kilda second time around?

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 

You reckon our leaky club could keep something like this under wraps?

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.

Maybe Perty can approach some other clubs and see if anyone's willing for a Goody trade.

O.M.G.

You do realise both Goodwin and Pert are under contract?

So let’s suppose that Pert is as ‘dead in the water’ as you seem to presume based on your interpretation of rumour and intimation from reports; we simply cannot get rid of everyone at one time, and we are spending time replacing board members, a President, a forward line coach and a senior assistant/midfield/gameplay coach, we should be also spending time looking for a tall forward to replace Neitz…

Let’s swap our coach and fire our CEO though. Thats what a solid club would do…🙄

These people aren’t evil, they may be incompetent but I doubt it, they may be on borrowed time, but we can have change to our benefit too…

Can we all get back to reality?

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. 

 

 

Then there is the conga line of Goodwin apologists with their "nothing to see here" attitude who ignore that a potential golden era is quickly turning into a disaster.

We seem to be returning to the Neeld/Schwab era.

My only interest on the topic of who coaches is that we have the person who gives us the best chance of winning it all. And my feeling is that the last 4 years have shown me that Goodwin has given these guys a method (albeit a very boring one to watch and maybe to play) that can win it all.

We've been let down by the guys on the field in pressure moments consistently over the last 3 years. I'm starting to think Goodwin's effort to get this group to the ultimate prize was a pretty remarkable one. The same players who won it all have looked slow and pretty poor in pivotal contests once teams worked out they need to move the ball in ways that don't allow us the kind of numbers advantage we want.

I am not confident that any other coach in the AFL could do better with these guys. And I reckon Goodwin himself will be in trouble if he loosens the defensive principles and tries to play a style where our players either win big contests or we get scored against regularly. Unless we turn over a lot of this list it is going to spell real trouble imo.

Oh, really. Good you are still the Cranky Franky I have come to know over the years - frankly cranky. Yes, indeed, Goody is Schwabian - where half of my ancestors came from - and Neeld won a premiership...Um, how many coaches have won one of them lately, Frankly? By the way, are you a descendant of Carl Der Grosser, King of the Franks?????

The only categories I can come up with for those calling for Goodwin's sacking at this point in proceedings is as follows,

Your list of % wins by coaches is totally meaningless without information of available talent.

Daniher didn’t have May & Lever, he had Alistair Nicholson & Matt Collins.

Ridley & Beckwith were probably decent coaches but had poor lists.

Pro Tip Next time post something useful.

Of course it can. 

But the same could be said of every  VFL/AFL coach who has coached more than a 20 or 30 games with a better than 50% win loss record.

And of course, on that list of MFC coaches in the last sixty years only one has the most important stat - a flag.

Better to defend our own Cranky than to perpetually [censored] can our coach and our club, driven by the mindless press and those influenced by them.

Strength Through Unity - much better than the alternative being spruiked by some on here.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
