Brad joined the board in November 2020. He and the board have been asleep at the wheel.

The FD report directly to the board. The board is accountable.

Of course they are. But we need to replenish the Stocks of the Football Department and high Performance Management

I am sure they are well aware of that. It’s hard to fill assistant positions since COVID

Blame the AFL for that mess

He might be part of it SWYL but I hope at the least he is in deep conversation with Smith about when to pull the plug on Goody.

WE NEED A PLAN GOING FORWARD so that next season we can move full steam ahead. (Yes another wasted season this yr though).

Everybody needs to take some responsibility, i am not excusing anybody

But our problems are on field

Adam is just salty that Peter Lawrence is not on the Board

No, I blame the board.

They installed Pert (a disaster) instead of those PJ put forward, and then allowed messy legal battles to play out over Goody's head for at least 12-18 months.

And every club in the land has the same constraints vis a vis COVID, that's not a reasonable excuse. We got unlucky with Burgess wanting to move home. I think had we had him across 2022-2023 we'd have at least another flag, but the personnel inside the FD have clearly let standards plummet and continue to do so.

Rare to see so many of us in violent agreement.

Says a lot.

Green needs to make decisions now, the club is losing everything they worked so hard to get, through the Roos/Jackson era.

They are playing local football standard in the AFL

They were all walking around with their hands on hips & heads down, HALFWAY THROUGH THE FIRST BLO#*Y QUARTER

Goodwin & Griffiths are to blame for this & if Clarry Trac & Kozzie want out then [censored] THEM OFF, they’ve treated us like trash for over 12 months

I’ve gone in to bat for Clarry for 2 years, but I’m over what he’s done to the club & Trac still carrying on like a spoilt brat

Bet they’re still holding out their hand for the massive pay checks

I’ve spoken to plenty of us Dees supporters that won’t go again until Goodwin goes

I know you blame the Board. Your Candidate wasn’t elected.

Losing Burgess was a HUGE loss that was out of anyone’s control, yes i believe it cost us a Flag… But you cannot blame the Board for that

I am sure he is not the only one doing that Ox. The Club cannot afford to stand still. The damage only increases

If he hasn't the stones to do what's required.... then he's as much the problem as anyone.

Any chance Jackson coming back and fixing us for a second time?

He has a job to do right now. If he doesn’t, he should step aside. But we also need to find a replacement, putting in the wrong replacement would be catastrophic

It can’t all happen in an hour

You are correct.Brad unfortunely is totally ineffectual can't be him!

Watch him barbecued as the sacrifice by board members who

Escape scrutiny

Money always talks. Another crucial reason we didn’t snag a 2nd Flag…

And have the board say they were implicitly responsible? The board could have had PJ undertake the external review at the end of the last year. Instead they had Pert review himself.

wasn't green the football director? the board member that understands football and independent of the footy dept.

Maybe he did and is already working on it. I haven’t spoken to Brad directly for 18 months, but i don’t think he is solely responsible for this mess, as has been suggested earlier in this thread

As I mentioned months ago, Brad’s a nice guy however he doesn’t have the cajones to make these decisions. He shouldn’t be in the position he finds himself in.

April 13, 2025Apr 13

and what exactly do you want him to do right now Kent?

Goodwin is done, personally i wish he had been replaced after the ‘23 Season, but that wasn’t to be

Who replaces him?

They’ve got to be a serious Coach to get this list firing

Quick reactions often backfire

We need Top Shelf

I am hoping the same process is taking place with the CEO

When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
