High performance organisations dont accept 1 season of poor performance, let alone two in a row. Strong organisations make tough calls to ensure the future can be a successful one, this clearly isn’t working, on all levels we’re declining.

I’ve read all the Pros and Cons on this thread, what I struggle to understand is the pro to keep Goodwin for 2026, no team jumps from 13/14 to win the flag, even if he made finals, its unlikely we’d extend his contract, it makes zero sense to go into 2026 with Simon as coach, he’ll be sacked by mid year and we have completely wasted another trade period, draft, preseason and season.

Great organisations know exactly where their list is, what the future holds and makes move to improve for the future,I think we’ll be spineless and completely wasted another trade 2026.

[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!!!!!

If he had any integrity hed resign at the end of the year.

I cannot cop another year with him watching this rubbish brand 3 years in a row.

Surely the media goes hard on Goodwin this week. I'm absolutely over his spin. We may be building towards our next premiership team but it won't be under him.

Have tried to resist the get rid of Goodwin thing. But like you I've had enough. Saw him on Footy Classified during the week and couldn't believe the spin, even from him. Some if it was just absurd. What struck me is how much he talked about himself, and how he loves the job, the challenge, blah blah blah. I think he thinks he owns the job. The team needs a refresh...urgently. Other than Pickett the team is as dull as dishwater. Like the coach. Sad but there you are.

They should, but as we aren’t a powerhouse club, they won’t. There’s not enough uproar. We have bugger all members, bugger all attendance at games, and it’s not a huge news story.

Should it happen though? Yes, yes it should.

I’m just sick to death of the spin and rubbish from him, we have to get rid of him. We lost Yze to Richmond, he’s got a really young team and have won one less game than us. If we don’t get rid of him I think we will win 4-5 games next year!

That's it - a supporter since the late 60's & a member for 25+ years but no more until Goodie the 🤡 resigns.

Agree but we have an interim President & CEO which reinforces the issues at the club

Very evident there are serious issues within the coaching and footy dept, we have gone backwards dramatically in 4 seasons with another bottom 6 finish totally unacceptable and our star players have regressed, club can’t accept this to continue in 26 with blind faith just because we won a flag in 21… consider the record since then 2 x straight sets exits & no finals in 24/25, compare this to the next 3 premiers all contending!

We are not a high performance organization. Five minutes of sunshine in 60 years.

The worst part is we will see the same [censored] and hear the same dribble in 2026. I don’t think I have ever not looked forward to a season but there always a first.

F M D I am really am not enjoying footy, thanks Goody.

The immediate, instinctive, first impulse of going backwards when we get the pill is driving me [censored] crazy. Can't help but wonder what this list could have done over the past 5 years with a different coaching group...

I'm a paid up spiritual donor for the Simon Goodwin Healing Journey, and I couldn't give a stuff about players, lists and game-plans. It's all about self improvement, connection and love!

But no, seriously, I had a similar feeling early in the season. He was talking a lot about himself and the journey he's on as a person and coach to get better. I had a thought at the time: Am I on this persons personal journey or am I the fan of a football club?

Has the been another club since 2000 win a flag and drop off so dramatically?? Daniher teams with worse facilities played in finals 2000 GF, 02,04,05,06,

Goodwin hasn’t been able to reinvent himself, has had 4 seasons to and each season is getting worse and so are the so called stars who are shadow of what they were!

Needs to go along with Richo & target new assistants

Ah but apart from scoring more goals than the other team our coach keeps winning all the stats

I've been keen to see where the new gameplan takes us. Not anymore.

It's one of two things:

In a permanent state of "nearly there".

Or - and I'm starting to think this is the horrific truth - this is about it. This is pretty much as good as it gets.

Goodwin: "Clearly, you look at the last three quarters and you can see something."

Nope. I can't.

What’s making our skill level so poor and decision making amateurish

Just watched his presser and he looks angry and defeated. He trotted out the usual jargon but was particularly upset about our slow start. I honestly think he is out of ideas and doesn’t know how to drive change.

Would not have lost tonight He IS the problem!

Yes, his time is up. The point of that post was to demonstrate its nothing personal and to recognise his obvious strengths. It's not just a pile on because people have some vendetta against him. He is bereft of ideas and the club needs some clear air. Hopefully they realise it sooner rather than later because going into 2026 with more of the same will be diabolical.

Goodwin and Macrae are the only premiership coaches since 1980 that haven't played in at least one other Grand Final. If Collingwood make the GF this year this leaves Goodwin as the only premiership coach since Tony Jewell not to make another Grand Final.

This is what worries me. Players who are now experienced - Rivers, McVee, Bowey, Fritsch, Sparrow (obviously didn’t play tonight) - regularly make dumb decisions with the footy

And we know he won't be here for 2027 (bar a miracle).

Why waste another year with Simon?

Reckon we’ll be lucky to crack 50,000 members next year if he’s still in charge

The worst thing that’s happened under Goodwin is that thousands of members have dropped off because they’re not buying what he’s selling

People will accept losses if they can see the vision of what is trying to be achieved and that the players believe in the process - neither of these things seem to be true right now

Give me what Richmond is going through right now than another year of this
