And this is where folk like your good self find reasonable assessments so hard to swallow.

As others here have already suggested. It's not about doing everything either right or wrong. It's about being able to affect successful results in a sustained manner .

Simply having attained a flag ( and kudos to all ) does not guarantee nor qualify you ever more. What worked,now doesn't. Who was successful, now isn't.

Some, I among those , question the ability of the current FD regime which by default has Goodwin as its major influence to bring home the bacon.

It's not an overly complicated premise.

Those that find continued dissatisfaction with the current trajectory and call for change will continue to do so unless we become successful.

If that'sboring.... go find another thread.

Why are you here boring yourself ?

I'm here "boring myself" because I think that the mindless criticism needs to be challenged. But apart from saying that, I really can't be bothered replying further to your nonsense.

 

This thread needs a change of pace - and by pace, I mean pace, and changes.

Scotty Boland gets another shot and he nails it - match figures of 6 for 36 including a hat trick. What an absolute champion he is. And like TMac, should never be drooped again.

3 kids by 32.

If I was a last laugh kinda gal I’d say Goody ain’t goin’ anywhere. Oh wait, I am a last laugh kinda gal… Goody ain’t going anywhere 😂😂😂

Y’all can b!ttch & moan all you like. You can say the most disrespectful about Goody. You can bag him day and night and blame everything on him, but…

He’s our head coach for 2026…

Get used to it 🤣🤣🤣

I love big Scotty. I love Nathan Lyon too but I’m glad Scotty got the call-up. A humble, no-fuss champion. And… he’s a Victorian! 🥳

Almost as boring as the Conga line of apologists telling us what a great job he's doing

Can you find me a single post, let alone a “conga line”, of people telling us what a great job Goodwin’s doing?

Why do so many have difficulty understanding the tenet of the topic.

'Time to go ' It's a suggestion. It's a valuation many of us share about should he or someone else continue.

I fully understand there's a better than even ( unfortunately) chance he will be there. But we aren't there yet. He has to show some better abilities to arrest our demise than are currently on display. Please don't think beating the Roos is the get out card to.any of this, or even a half baked Blues. But.. it's unlikely anyone at the MFC , quite frankly, would have it in them to pull that pin. Mores the pity.

All happy clappers can rejoice .

What's more important ? That Simon Goodwin is the coach or the team is given the best available at this current time. Im sure you'll suggest he is. I accept that's your position. Kindly accept some think otherwise.

I only care about the Club/team as it plays. The jumper is paramount.... Personnel/players come and go.

Hey, if this is all this thread was, fine. But it’s not. It’s one thing to want Goody gone but it’s an entirely different thing to disparage him, insult him and blame him for every misfortune. it’s unfair and unwarranted.

There’s only one thing about this thread that’s equally as bad and that’s the exasperating repetition. It’s insufferable. Do people really think they’re saying something new?

I'll ask you too

Why are you here if it's not your cup.of tea ?

Dont hang if you don't like the company or comments.

Just go do the other stuff you enjoy. Surely 🤷‍♂️

And for the record sts.... if some want to suggest Goody has $#@!'d up and were here lamenting as a result. Thats an opinion Some might even say it's their considered appraisal and I don't see why that's hard for some to stomach.

Where stuff has gone right we applaud. Where it's gone/going wrong it's fair game to suggest change.

Just turned on my tv and goody is on footy classified with hird, Ed & Tom morris.

Wonder if goody will ask Tom about his lever story.

I really don't want to watch so if anyone has can you do a quick debrief

The tenet of the topic is Time to go Goody with a question mark. To me that is asking a question. You & others think he should & others think he shouldn’t. So we are all answering the question with our opinions. Maybe if you didn’t constantly allude to the fact that anyone positive is either a “Happy Clapper” or a misguide fool we could have had a more balanced discussion.. ?

I don't presume ALL who think Goodwin ought to stay are happy clappers but they are certainly numerous.

Just as you purport we have dismissed the question mark whilst its still really there.That was always the notion ( imo ) I.e.. Should he stay, should he go ?

It all falls as to how anyone quantifies and qualifies their view..

Somewhat classic half glass full or empty or some other fraction.

I just question the glass itself.

Many might still be here next season continuing the discussion. I would think more evidence one way or the other will surface.

I just want us winning. Not fussed who. It's not the norm now and hasn't been for a long while.

I've suggested before the end to this season might offer insights. Beating contemporaries isn't a guide it's how we fare when pushed.... how our game holds up.... or not.

Bullies, Hawks and Filth will be tests..

They'll tell us much.

That's an embarrassing segment by Goodie the 🤡.

Most of the players he mentioned are stalling, struggling, or have gone backwards

Jeffo, Johnson, Henderson, Tholstrup & Windsor.

Just more spin.


Another display of why Goody should pack his stuff and go.

We lost, to a team who has their seconds playing due to injuries, who is sitting at the bottom of the ladder, when we are essentially at full strength.

When will Goodwin make any changes for the better?

Slow, stagnant ball use. Consistent poor ball use. Contested possession. Bombing the ball in all areas of the ground, including going into F50.

The same gameplay for four (4) years in a row, with essentially the same results in the past two (2) years.

Thanks for your efforts for the premiership, it’s not lost on us, but please leave.

 

[censored] off Simon. I hate watching footy. Our club is [censored] to watch and you are the reason. Nearly full strength.

You need to go!!!!!

I don't think everything Goody does is wrong. He's obviously a good coach otherwise he wouldn't have lasted 10 years, wouldn't have coached us to a flag, wouldn't have developed the relationships he has with the players, wouldn't have implemented a variety of forward thinking strategies over the course of his career etc.

Would not have lost tonight He IS the problem!

  • 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.

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
