[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.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
