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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
