The players have spoken.

Something is rotten in the club.

What’s the over/unders margin line for a sacking after the Geelong game?

He’s on the Friday night stage next week so the whole footy world will be watching.

I wish the club would [censored] him off now but they won't. Maybe mid year.

We'll be batting to win a game.

We'll be battling to win a quarter.

I want change now and it appears the players do as well.

Why wait for more hidings and embarrassing insipid performances that will see our fans stay away in droves.

Thanks for the flag Simon

Until now I’ve thought the players had Goodwins back even when we have been poor, this feels different. Looking at the players even in the first qtr the group as a whole just looked flat and already defeated

Thank you for the flag but the way we've unravelled on and off field since 2023 is too much of a mess to recover from.

Sorry but I can't buy this. We finished top 4 both years. 2022 finals I'll accept, it wasn't great, but the 2023 finals were lost by the players on the day, not the coach.

 

Is there such a thing as a coaching CEO? We need a two for one deal 😂

I'd prefer the end of the year, it's unlikely there's anyone better to take over.

But I suspect you may be thereabout right

We are imploding very quickly

Today was putrid to watch, small crowd too. This will hurt the finances if we continue the form

If your head coach is not taking responsibility then who is?

The question I'm intrigued by..

Take our list..... then imagine any or all of the other coaches were to take the helm.

What would our team sheet look like... how would we play  ?? 

If you think there'd be no difference... well,you'd be kidding yourselves. 

That's a reality.

Now you have mentally travelled down that road...  what do we think ? 🤔 

I've been a big Goodwin fan, from day 1 when he created the Diamond formation in 18, to the best defence we've ever seen as demons in 21/22. Maybe a fresh voice is needed and a list overhaul before Tassie come in... I'd be bringing in 1 of Buckley or Longmire before they get snaffled elsewhere

If this was a relationship and you had any self respect you’d walk away, but with coaches it’s always about the payout. Settle his contract and move him on or the potential gate loses / merchandise / memberships / players wanting out will far outweigh any potential payout.

Thanks Goody for 2021, the 3rd qtr was arguably one of the greatest qtrs of footy ever played. Just a shame most of us couldn’t be there to see it live.

Hawthorn and the Dogs have shown us what’s possible.

Edited by Bombay Airconditioning

Yeah - after that showing last week - the one thing that speaks volumes is the clear lack of spirit today from the opening bounce. You don't have a to be a great team - but if you can't show up with energy when a response was required, at a home game against a minnow who has struggled here and had no fanbase to contend with....it speaks. Very loudly.

He has lost the group.

Unfortunately there is now little quality around him. We couldn't attract a credentialed midfield or backline coach.

We're going to be down a long time I think.

Should have cut our losses when Oliver and Trac wanted out - and started again with the bounty. Ironically it might have been the best thing for Simon to buy him time.

This era is finished - the leaders are finished.

Should have transitioned to Yze when we had the chance. Players loved him and you could see the Richmond kids play for him in rd1. They'll lose most games (our rival for the spoon) but at least they showed up with spirit.

Entire team bar Aidan Johnson (who is a long long way away from being AFL standard) was not interested today.

Unacceptable

Time for a change of coach. Thanks for your service Simon.

After today’s performance after getting belted last week I second that nomination king.

TIME FOR A NEW VOICE AND DIRECTION.

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

So the new coach will bring a group of champions with him/her? Nope, it'll be the same cattle with - as of now - three, maybe four players in form, six kids trying to find their feet and 15 blokes who can't kick straight.

That's not fair for us - I don't think I can take 4 more weeks of this - It needs to happen this week - We need to make a statement and do something to salvage our season - Lookin at the draw, I don't see where our next win will be.

I’m not a fan of Goodwin and haven’t been for a while but will Richardson take over if he goes because I think he needs to follow Goodwin out the door

What do you think Max would be thinking ??

Max is a very proud Demon......

The jungle drums are certainly beating now....

I fear Simon Goodwin has lost the players.

They just aren't responding to him it seems.

Lost the players.... and about 25k members at this rate

Interesting that after three losses blues fans are calling to remove their coach.

Carlton did better than us last year and the one before , beating us in a nail biting finish. There will be the same stories in the fake press about goody if we do likewise and lose our third on the trot.

Come lads, do it for for Goody. Smash these upstarts in Gcs. Big time.

Ps while we may not have the firepower that Carlton have in a couple of power fwds, our goals are kicked by several players so they are harder to shut down. Having said that those players too need to step is as well. Big time.

Laughable, he clearly has lost the group. No idea on a modern day game plan and is too arrogant to listen to others.

For the sake of any chance of future membership he must be removed immediately.

 
6 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

contest and defence!

Yes.

Don't forget to prioritise contest & defence, along with meaningless inside 50 stats and territorial dominance (expected scores etc) over actually scoring goals.

Winning the stats but not the game.

Simon Goodwin..."The chances are you're about to lose".

Up until last week I was all for him. I don't know disagree in the slightest. But for a variety of reasons. He deserves respect but needs to go. So the sooner the better.

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.
