[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.

    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?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
