[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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
