[censored] him off.

Insipid to let NMW just roam freely in the last quarter.

Won't be renewing my membership next year unless he is gone.

 

Can the club please explain why our head coach now holds the embarrassing record for being beaten in a game with the highest lead at three quarter time?

Why we seem to moving so far away from 2021 to the dark ages again?

Why Simon Goodwin has played Petty forward for two years when he's failed so much in that role?

Why KP and Melksham were on the bench for the last three minutes?

Why Goodwin made no changes after st Kilda kicked the first three in around three minutes?

Why he made no changes at all?

Why we had once more had so many more behinds?

Why he is still our coach now?

I think as members we deserve answers to these questions after such a history making loss.

Just plain disgraceful that last quarter. That’s a coach killer of a game. Thanks for the flag Goody but now is the time to go.

Stop killing the club we love.

Please leave.


I was at the ground and thought that there were a few danger signs mid 3rd qtr. You could hear the Saints players urging each other to run through us. They eventually did in the last. I don’t think they rated our ability to run with them.

It was utterly pathetic. Diabolical. A new low point in an awful season. If I had 2 years in a row like Goody, I would’ve been sacked 6 weeks ago.

There is no explanation or excuse. It calls for immediate action. What the [censored] was Kozzie doing sitting on the bench for the last few minutes? One of the worst capitulations in living memory. We are a laughing stock

There were plenty of people prepared to defend Mark Neeld and who wanted him to get more time in charge, even after the axe fell.

Goodwin is clearly viewed differently because of the premiership, but some people are so one-eyed that they will never see reality.

His time was done by round 5 and never has a player group spoken as loudly and clearly as they did tonight.

45 year member & if Goodwin is there in 2026 I WILL NOT RENEW MY MEMBERSHIP

35 year member and I’m exactly the same, Billy.

He could have left graciously. But he's now set himself up for a showdown where he will be sacked.

It's just a question of when not if.

Hopefully for the club it's now and not this time next year.

But you never know with this club.

Today he showed how stuck he gets.

He truly does nothing and just sat on his hands watching that record get broken today.

Shame on you Simon

What an albatross to hang around the clubs neck. Leaving Kozzie and Melksham on the bench for the last three minutes so your love children Petty and Sparrow can do nothing says it all.

You were frozen solid today.

And yes our behind tally was once again so much higher than our opponents.

Just leave.

Do the right thing.

Your the coach. It's on you mate.

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

Whilst that is true, it is also true that we are a bottom 5 team and have been for quite some time. It's time to find a benefactor to pay him out and look for another coach

Thanks for the flag Goody, you're a life member and we will forever be grateful.

But it's time to go at the end of the year


Taken us from a flag and high standards to an absolutely insipid, low-performance environment within four years. I wanted a flag my whole life and now I hate the coach who led it.

Oh come on there were numerous pathetic coaching decisions today. Using Spargo as the sub, playing Petty in the forwardline when it was clearly a lost cause, and putting Melksham and Pickett on the bench in the last quarter.

Of course this loss is on Goodwin. Get your head out of the sand.

There is nobody in charge. The incoming President doesn't really want to do the job, and the CEO has never seen the inside of a football club.

I've never considered withholding membership renewal.

after that capitulation i can understand why members would do it.

i know there is a monetary penalty involved but the cost of not sacking him will be far greater.

Another wasted year is not worth the financial hit from paying him out

This club is so [censored] amatuer

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.

Our onfield leadership is a joke. Gawn, Viney, Petracca, Oliver, TMac, Petty, Melksham, Salem etc "leaders" across every line and you let that happen? When your opponent has kicked 3 or 4 in a row and they need another 4 with 10 minutes left you don't play quick, you don't hit the ball into space; you slow it down you look for repeat contests, you take time off the clock. Ball up in the middle and Gawn belts it out of there it goes through Oliver's hands and into space for the Saints players to run onto. Just a complete lack of leadership across the club from top to bottom.

Would love some journos to ask some tough questions about that last quarter - but fear we wont get a real honest answer anyway.

What did we do to stem the bleeding/try get control back?

The credits are fast expiring from his account.

Well said. What a fall from grace.

If the club doesn't sack him, members will walk.

Like it or not, it's that simple.

  • 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.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
