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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
