It's 17,362. That is the number of members we've lost in 18 months.

In dollar terms, it is a loss of $5,208,600.

hence, the price the stars, like The Bont, can pull.

Even after watching us in games where we draw 20K, and it seems like a suburban type of product, AFL is a Big Business.

So, Goody, and Richo and Chocco ... you've been great but we need fresh talent.

 

Speculation in the West is that Adam Simpson is moving back to Victoria after selling his holiday home and his current home is for sale. Could he be looking for a new coaching gig? Goodwin, Voss and Lyon should be looking over their shoulders.

Adam Simpson ‘selling $6.5m home’ amid Melbourne speculation

Former West Coast Eagles coach Adam Simpson is reportedly selling his $6.5 million City Beach home as speculation about a move back to Melbourne intensifies.

Edited by John Crow Batty

Richo can’t say what he left at Eagles inspires me. Goody deserves to see out his contract I simply can’t see a change without a CEO or president overseeing it is smart.

The boys on the pod are spot on our biggest issue are skills we butcher the ball. To be in contention you need to take the game on and have the skills to match the risk. So much of our dare and risk is undone by poor skills. That why we need guys like Fritta great skills. Identify the ball butchers there the one we need to offload.

In terms of how to do it look at Freo last week. Just prior to their last goal they nailed a high risk corridor kick that open the Pies up and led to a match winning goal. If that had been us we either would not have taken the kick for fear of losing or taken the kick and butchered it. AFL is a game of small margin and our skills kill us.

I'm tipping he's not selling his 3 Hungry Jack's franchises that generate an estimated $2m+ pa in profits.

Should that have been in the salary cap by the way?????

Goody on 360 tonight.

“We will leave no stone unturned to get better” said Goodwin. I know one stone which definitely needs to be turned.

I’m well and truly over the spewing of coaching 101 phrases from Goodwin.

Yet he plays the same players in the same positions each week regardless of form............

Right Simon....

After watching how putrid Carlton were last night after Hawthorn put the cue in the rack after quarter time & we couldn’t beat that!

Watch old Rossy Lyon out coach us for the second time this year on Sunday.

If we had a President & CEO the decision should’ve been made already

Typical Goodwin saying “we will leave no stone unturned “ however brings in the usual favourites and doesn’t expose the young guys to some games when the season is shot. He’s coaching for his own existence, not for the betterment of the team. Please move him on.

It makes me absolutely sick

No reward for Johnson, Kentfield, Culley or Laurie in the VFL

I’m convinced Goodwin is delusional enough to think we’re just a Petty or Spargo away from a flag tilt

@Queanbeyan Demon said we’ve lost 17,000+ members in 18 months

Reckon we’ll make that 25,000+ if Goodwin is still here in 2026

No stone left unturned…that’s because he has turned them all over.

Spargo in when ever no matter form or injury. Petty back, petty fwd.

No matter form, Petty in.

Sparrow only HFF. Don’t try anyone else in the middle.

Oh, I’ll keep the fans happy and make a change… hmmm 🤔

That Windsor kid was good on a wing… I’ll put him to HBF and watch him fail all year… I’m a genius!

I agree in part, kicking skills is one thing, running to space to receive & running to create space is another and requires no kicking skills. I’ve said many times before this year, not all of Collingwood’s players are great kicks but they do the other things so well, plus their effort and pressure is normally pretty good. We need to stop making excuses, it’s been Goodwin’s list for a while now, he needs to take ownership.

If Goodwin is coach next year thats me out after 20 years of memberships! I would URGE others to follow suite

Come on, guaranteed when we're 5 goals down with 10 minutes left he'll shift Turner to the forward line 🙄

Bingo!! Disposal looks far better when putting the ball into space for your teammates to run onto. That's not skill, that's coaching.

We've been saying this for a while eh Doc

The biggest issue for me is the seniors players from, besides Gawn they have all gone backwards.

May looks disinterested.

Lever, Trac, Oliver, Viney, Petty, Fritch, Sparrow, Langdon have all regressed.

Windsor , Roo, McVee have gone backwards too.

Add in the horrendous trades of players that have had zero impact, Billing’s, FULLARTON, McCadam, Sharp and hence why we are in the position we are.

Lamb should be the first to go, absolute amateur hour.

Goody, Richardson as a minimum come under serious review.

I really can't see Goodwin being let go, football is a business and to drop a years salary - don't know his salary amount but what is it worth in memberships? Coaching transitions come with significant financial costs, termination payouts, hiring expenses, and potentially higher salary demands from a new candidate. Its a very expensive exercise. For a club hemorrhaging from a few years of poor form - is it economically rational to sack Goodwin??? From a board perspective.

Edited by Pottsydee


God to think of another season of listening to goodwins dribble and another season without playing finals makes me sick in the guts.

I have little to no interest now and really am not looking forward to next season if Goodwin is still there.

It will be more of a financial disaster for the club if he stays imo.

Would you consider him? I wouldn’t

Despite the flag he has overseen one of the most dramatic falls from grace I’ve ever seen a club experience. From a flag team to a perennial wooden spooner

Don't think there is a queue for his services.

If you’re complaining about Goody butchering things post our flag then be warned that Simmo is skilled with a cleaver

The rate we're going, we're heading down the same pathway under Goodwin.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
