I can't see us getting rid of goody at the end of the season, but no one will be under more pressure going into next season.

I'm just worried about the list he's going to leave us

If you were picking teams at school, you’d go Clarkson before Goody every time.

Winning percentage of 18% over 3 seasons

I think Clarkson may have lost what he had

North will fly past us next year

Goodwin had a list that won a flag vs Clarko & Mcq who took over lists in rebuild, Goodwin has managed to drive us back into rebuild mode, an amazing achievement

You mean Goodwin had a list that hadn’t made finals for 10 years and helped build a flag winning team.

The wheels have fallen off for sure but at least acknowledge the good he did

Goodwin and Clarkson have different lists at different stages of their development. We also lost to the Cats by 100 points in 2016, was that because Roos/Goodwin were poor coaches?

never said he is a poor coach. just asking if people would still take Clarkson. from the lack of response i’m guessing no.

Clarkson has a young talented list. North will get better once the kids build up a tank and get experience.

Goody has had Trac, Gawn, May, Lever, Clarry, Kozzie, Viney and others at his disposal. Whilst age has his hit a couple, they have all (excluding Max) gone backwards.

That list above have been AA’s or on the list of top 40 AA’s.

True, Goody has developed many star players who have been struggling recently

Reckon the game has gone past both Clarkson and Goody

Goodwin will be at the club next year I believe that’s a given. So even if you aren’t happy about that fact sorry, but I think you better get used to it.

Reason I say this is the way the Soft Cap works in relation to Senior and assistant coaches. For 2025 the soft cap was set at 7.625 million. A club either spends it or loses it you can only carry forward a $100,000 into the following year.  Regardless of what you are paying senior and assistant coaches only 20% of their salaries are excluded from the soft cap.

So let’s assume Goodwin is on 1.2 million as a number probably something like that I would think after winning the flag. So sack him now pay out his contract and one million comes out of your 2026 soft cap. Doesn’t leave much to pay you new coach and unlike players you can’t back end the contract.

I suppose you could ask other members of the football department to take a pay cut, oops they have contracts, or sack a few and pay out more contracts.

Sorry guys but pretty sure he will be there till at least this time 2026. Unless of course he resigns.

Putting any financial implications to the side, do you think he should be coach from a purely footy perspective. Because that is what we should be concerned about, the dollars will work themselves out.

If it was an either/or, yeah I'd take Clarkson over Goodwin.

We only pulled away from them in the final quarter a couple of weeks back and that was with us having basically a full list to choose from and them having a few first 22 players out. They also trounced us in round 2 when their younger players hadn't run out of legs late in the season. North will probably finish ahead of us next year.

Clarkson may not be the coach he was but neither is Goodwin.

so guys…..?

He’s gotta go

Nobody can survive this

Get him [censored] out of here

yep, that was the final nail in the coffin

To those who say this is on the players, they take some of the blame but the buck stops with the coach. And that was the worst last quarter I've since before the Roos era. Goodwin has to go for this club to turn around. Clearing out the players comes after that.

he should resign

Or they come to an arrangement that doesn’t cripple the club financially

Just wow

Some of the players on the new ch in the last

Best to go now Simon. you are tarnishing your legacy

Can we stop blaming Goody as the sole reason every time we lose? The players were woeful. Gave away the game with an infringement. Thats hardly goodys fault

Now would be the right time Simon. Do the honourable thing. Thanks for the flag but this isn't working anymore.

We are a laughing stock and you'll only do more damage sticking around now.

Saints are an ordinary team and Ross Lyon got them to execute a perfect rope-a-dope. Goodwin standing clueless on the boundary line. Lights out.

Do you want us to sack 20 of our 44 players then?

Is that easier, honestly people WAKE UP!

id resign after that, its over for this current set up.

i would do whatever possible to get longmire in and rebuild.

we have good young players and trade assets, could work faster than you think

I've kept out of this debate but ..... that ludirous and embarrassing fiasco at the end is on Goodwin.

Sack him tonight !!!
