    Who has taken that view on this thread?

    As usual, you keep making stuff up to suit your own blinkered view

    Don't you think you've made enough of a fool of yourself these last few days?

    Sure.

    I mean you did clearly state that the club relegated him without a shred of evidence but ok.

    No, it’s accountability. The AFL is a business. On-going poor performance is on the Head Coach.

    Just easier to blame one

    Then going to have to get rid of a lot more than him. It’s just scapegoating

    What's your solution? Head to the Winchester and wait for this all to blow over?

    Oh don't worry I will. I'm like a dog with a bone on this one

    We previously had another sack Goodwin thread that went for about 300 pages ... 2019, 2020 & 2021

    He was often hated back then so when he ended up on the bench with Yze upstairs, there were numerous comments about the why's & wherefores

    As I said, watch this space, good Sir

    Or keep an eye out for the other sack Goodwin thread

    The key word, was tapwork.....

    For eg; on the weekend, 45 hitouts, 14 to advantage. Cant knock his around the ground domination one bit.

    14 hitouts to advantage is well above AFL average. According to Wheelo ratings, here's the HTA averages for 2025:

    Witts 11.1
    Meek 10.7
    O'Brien 10.6
    Grundy 10.5
    Xerri 10.2
    Gawn 9.9
    Nankervis 9.6
    Goldstein 9.5
    Sweet 9.2
    Madden 8.7
    English 8.3

    Gawn's opponent on Sunday, Marshall, averages 6.8.

    Why does the coach keep playing them then?

    Because there's a power imbalance at the club

    He's terrified of backlash

    How did Petracca and Oliver behave in the off season?

    All the [censored] media over the past few years probably permeated its way down to the footy department.

    The BOD may see offloading Goody a way of distancing himself from the recent past??

    Certainly Goody cannot be blamed for the playing list bad luck.

    Brayshaw retirement

    Jackson to Feo and players with the traded draft picks not yet coming up.

    ANB leaving

    BB retirement

    Tracc and Oliver issues

    May and Lever ordinary seasons via injury

    Stars getting older.

    Sorry Jumbo but I can't in any scenario posit Goodwin in a manner whereby he's immaterial to the methods, performances and outcomes of the players.

    It may not be an intended effect but they play one way or another as a result of he being the coach.

    I'm hearing you, BB, but I think that there is something rotten in the leafy suburb of East Melbourne

    Akin to Worsfold at the WCE, where he lost all imprimatur

    Something will give and I believe that the behaviours and actions of our 'leaders' has been atrocious

    On the other hand, we have pretty much had a full list this year, easy fixture and great run re injuries, often fielding a team with 15 odd premiership players. Add in Windsor, Langford, Turner as well for promising youngsters.

    2021 premiership players with a heavy dose of 4 years of battered bodies syndrome

    Those players look cooked

    Oh... mate.. Jumbo... there's definitely something afoot, if not amok among the Elms 😉

    To say nothing of the resounding silence

    Issues within the senior playing group as those issues with Trac around standards and culture last year haven’t mended, they are not connected, coaching issues from Goodwin and footy dept, rumours wether true or not is Goodwin has his favourites and dosent engage with the younger players. The obvious is Goodwin to be moved on but whole footy dept & improve line coaches along. Need to look to trade Oliver..

    Would be more like an offload/salary dump with Oliver

    As it stands, I highly doubt that any club would want to pay his monstrous salary anyway (rumoured to hit in excess of $1.5Million around 2028/2029)

    Could also be that we're stuck with him

    Petracca similar but he maybe has more upside

    I hope we’re stuck with both of them to be honest, it would be shocking to see them go for not much and then they find form somewhere else tha would hurt a lot.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
