who would of thought our 50+ year drought breaking premiership coach would leave with nothing. Simon, us supporters have nothing for you. It’s over. You were able to find something in the Hub when others were down, but all in all you cannot outcoach almost all others. Thank you and we wish you well.

    When he does leave (whenever that is), he'll leave as our Premiership coach. That's not nothing. And whatever the mood now, he's a famous figure of our club

    Just posted this on the post game thread.

    Behind at the last change so lets put one behind the ball?

    Brad Scott is smart enough to play uncontested time wasting footy. Still don't go one on one? They literally had 10 minutes of kick to kick in the last quarter.

    I'm pretty sure (a) the list won the flag in 21 and (b) Goodwin cannot coach on game day.

    Not a great time to start over. The board has to be decisive or we will be irrelevant for another 57 years.

    Sack Goodwin now!

    But also, how the hell have we been looking at the same problem for 4 years (front half connection) and we currently look worse than ever before. This is coaching. And the coach and his team have no ability to fix it.

    Don't forget we had a football department review in October.

    can anyone name anything that's resulted in a tangible positive improvement for us?

    Yep totally, the vitriol directed at a premiership coach of 10 years at our club is a disgrace IMV.

    Sure, you can voice your disapproval, but have some respect.

    I suspect the club is so rudderless it has nobody capable to call it. We have zero leadership on and even less off the field.

    It needs to be done now but I would think after losses to Freo and The Tiges at the G, someone has to stand up and make the call.

    hes a premiership coach so deserves respect

    but the evidence in front of our eyes is clear. we can't let sentiment cloud our judgement. We need a new coach and I don't see the point in waiting until the end of the year

    The answer is yes, a highly likely 0-6 start after next week suggests his time is up.

    But some of the personal abuse aimed at Goodwin is totally out of order.

    Perhaps the game has passed him by and he has failed to adapt, but our only Premiership coach in living memory does not deserve to be the target of insults.

    2021 👏👏👏Premiership. Goodwin must be a SuperCoach. Is that how it works !?!

    2025 0-5 after 4 straight thrashings Horrible losses. Uncompetitive.

    We are sick of 3 years of

    Learnings

    Forward 50 connection [censored]

    Getting better

    We are a horrible team

    No strategy

    No structure

    No direction

    Time to go

    FFS BRAD GREEN, GET RID OF HIM!!

    Simon lead us to the promise land, he led us to glory but Brad you lead on the field its time to lead off it.

    You are the head of the table now make the call and put him out of his misery.

    Simon's legacy is being destroyed week by week.

    Or do we have to wait for 100 point belting? f me.

    It left a lingering stench around the club.

    Not only that, but we lost more matches (%) with the stand-in coaches.

    Sacking a coach sends a club backwards. Fact.

    A new President with little corporate experience.

    No CEO.

    I’m afraid It’s not the right time to dismiss the coach.

    Incorrect. Every club that wins a premiership sacked their previous coach to do it. The only exception is handover arrangements, and we're in no position to do that.

    yes it's definitely time for a coach change

    i don't think quite a few players should get off scot-free though. they need to take some of the blame.

    The way we are travelling, who the hell would want to coach us. The list is stagnant, the off-field leadership is non-existent, and we have a very raw supporter base.

    It would take one hell of a sales pitch or very deep pockets to convince anyone.

    Should've handed over to Yze.

    We had our chance by not extending Goodwin past 2023.

    Yep he's done. I don't buy into the myth that we're just trying out a new gameplan and that we should all be patient. That's such a massive cop out. We're completely devoid of any gameplan or any system at all.

    Goodwin has done some good in the past but he has well and truly overstayed his welcome. It pains me to say it because I used to be a big supporter of his.

    I agree it’s time, but also take Alan Richardson, Choco Williams, Nathan jones had no coaching credentials needs to do an apprenticeship under a good coach. We need a new forward coach. Also recruiting has been average due to the lack of players wanting to come to this disjointed homeless club with poor leadership.

    We are broken.

    I raised this last week but hopefully tonight, the press ask him why our last quarters are so uncompetitive.

    Conceding two goals in the last minute was disgraceful

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
