I'd rate Goodys tenure as

One great season - 2021

One good season - 2018

Three underperformed seasons - 2017, 2022-23

Four bad seasons - 2019-20, 2024-25

Two seasons out of nine where we went above par is not a good strike rate (especially considering he wasn't coming in at the start of the rebuild like most coaches do).

Forever thankful for the flag but besides the 2021 season I don't think he's got the most out of this list.

That’s a very fair summation Dr.

too late a s usual for MFC Damage done!

Talk about misery loving company.

This thread must in some way be cathartic for you guys ‘cause I’m reading the same shiite over and over and over and over again.

Either that or you just luv sticking the knife into anything MFC related. But that cannot be right because we all love the Dees don’t we!?

Please tell me what your intentions are next year when (if) Goody is still coaching us. Is this thread going to keep on keeping on for another year? If so I won’t be reading it. I value my sanity too much.

Dropping out of two sets of finals without firing one due to poor kicking and aging fwds was bad enough.

Then eleven wins last year with still no improvement in the previous issues.

And this year will see even less wins with the same problems.

Definitely time for Goody to go and quite a few others including players.

We are tending down each year and on our way to a wooden spoon.

Bad enough to blow two years of double chances but what we have been serving up this year has been both sublime and atrocious.

Sadly mostly atrocious with our tallest forward averaging a hearty seven goals out of ten games with maybe a total of 17 for the year. Wth?

Oh but you can't say a bad word about our coach because some nuffy will come after you

The Goodie acolytes will keep their Conga line going while those that care about the Club will work for what's best for the team.

I do appreciate that he was good enough to win us a flag.

But we should have won two.

I believe that losing Melksham and Gus was a significant factor in both years.

That's not on Goody's head.

But our lack of depth of fwds and inaccuracy which contributed to our finals losses is.

And they have been ongoing for over three years now reflecting our current status.

We need an infusion of proactive coaching which involves making hard calls in cutting players and staff.

I don't feel Goody is mean enough.

In any case we will be lucky to string together 8 wins this year so surely a new coach can't hurt.

If something isn't done we will miss finals for a third year in a row.

we’re pretty much bottom 4.

i think people get it

No, Dub. People clearly don’t get it and that’s why we are reminded of it every five [censored] minutes. Oh and did you know we went out in straight sets in two consecutive years?! I know right… lucky for us this gets mentioned a million times a day or we might forget it. Happy clappers (like me) who luvs them a loss need constant reminding of the sad situation our club is in, and how Goody should be hanged, drawn and quartered.

Why do grown-[censored] people think that repeating something ad nauseam effects change? This is the domain of toddlers and old folks with dementia.

@Ghostwriter, you are banned from this thread - mainly for your own sanity - but also because every “happy clapper” that comes on here helps generate more of the same recycled shiite we’ve seen for the last 183 pages.

Enjoy your day.

I value my sanity to the extent that if Goodwin is still coaching our club, I will retire from posting in this thread ,at the very least!

Problem is this, NC: if the disparagement of Goody was confined to this thread alone I’d be more than happy to eschew it. But just like the insidious disease that it is it’s spread to pretty much every thread thereby rendering this one no different to the others. Even the NON-MFC thread is contaminated every single week.

Edit: cue a post from the broken record (above)

Ok I’ll get off this thread now. Both PF and Beelzebum have vowed to not post in this thread should Goody be our coach in 2026, which he will. I’m happy. 😁

Be so much better if we just WON...and made it habitual.

Funny that many chide some for seemingly repetitive criticism...

And same folk gladly allow Goodwin to roll-out the same 💩 talk the same 💩 resulting in.... yep 💩

But that's fine.

Happy clappers might want to adjust their double standards.

I have one. Success.

Neil, you can continue to be positive about the same old team, not working, and losing.. some of us want to see change to hopefully come back up the ladder.

Ofc none of us enjoy this.

Once there’s a bit of success and we aren’t watching Groundhog Day, then we might be able to enjoy the team again, and won’t be required to rant about how many issues there are that seem to be swept under a rug.

Don't worry I'm retired so I'll be happy to continue to post & hold Goodie the 🤡 to account.

SD, don’t get me wrong. I think it’s time for a change - and I’ve said as much in this thread, and the reasons why. But I’ve only said it once. Surely that’s enough. Surely I don’t need to repeat myself over and over again, like so many on here do. This thread is Groundhog Day.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
