On who's authority? Yours?

I received one too. Was yours asking you to join a think tank to understand the 6:6:6 rule as well?

The drums are really beating now. IMV the following 3 should be the first out:

  1. Goody

  2. Richo

  3. Selwyn

That would be a start, but won't address arguably the clubs biggest problem

Mate, ON MY AUTHORITY????? No mate, I ALSO will relinquish my membership, coz in my opinion and thats my prerogative I can withdraw my support as is my right if I don't believe we are traveling in the right direction. We aint and as Dazz has outlined his reasons for doing so and I firmly believe we need to replace the coach. The cred is NOT spitting the dummy but rather deciding on an action which if the club took notice, predicates change! WHICH MUST COME!

Well a few years ago he won a flag for us with an untainted list

Now, the list is a rabble

I'm not expecting the team to improve under a possible new coach ... unless, we trade aggressively and clear out the deadwood (that's if anyone wants them)

Same sort of list? 10 wins Max, bub. They are past their use-by date

The game has passed by many of our players. Most of all we are too slow in the legs. Plodders everywhere

e.g. ... as soon as the Saints woke up yesterday and used their leg speed, we were left floundering. It took one quarter after we had dominated for 3 quarters

We are easily exposed. Goodwin's error is sticking with players who he should have moved on. Being loyal has cost him

I think you're letting Goodwin off the hook. I agree that the senior players have plenty to answer for but Goodwin as senior coach has fostered the environment/culture that has led to this behaviour. There's been plenty written about Goodwin much if which I can't say on here but suffice to say there is reason to think Goodwin's relationship with the players has contributed to this mess.

He is not an overly tactical coach (though has had some innovative moves in his time), his strength seems to be in his player relationship management. If that is not working or has led to the situation that we are in now then you would have to say his role is no longer viable.

I also think you're under selling the list. 14 premiership players out there yesterday (and May and Lever also still on the list). Not overly old so I think painting the list as a "rabble" is selling them short. Not at a level to challenge for a flag but definitely good enough to challenge for finals.

I dont tired from calling people up who make up and spread lies.

You told me to go do my research and I did. My research dating back to the 2020 review which you referenced and again it showed you made it up like you have done plenty of times.

To keep facts as facts. Goodwin did NOT get relegated to coach from the bench in 2021 by higher officials. This is a well known fact.

I do love how you have had to resurface this discussion once again out of nowhere lol.. clearly got you playing perfectly in your head.

Don't punish the club because you're dissatisfied with the coach

If you get your wish, he'll be gone soon enough anyway

I'm totally dissatisfied with the players efforts but won't be becoming a non-member justbbecause they've laid down the tools (and they have)

Here's how it goes ... most of the angst goes against the coach but if the coach is sacked the ire goes to the players

And we aren't going to start winning in a hurry with a new coach so the players can expect the full barrage if we don't start winning

Not individual players either, all of them

Its the significant drop in memberships since last year that is clearly telling.

Members are clearly voting with their voice.

I don't care what you've got to say. I usually skim past your posts

And you keep quoting me bud, I'm just replying

You've just chucked in your membership all because you don't like the coach

How childish

Mate cant you see??, the playing group is totally fractured, they have had footy instinct drilled out of them and have NO idea what they should be doing and when this happens it is down to the coach! PERIOD!

If I and others dont like happening then the ONLY way to change is to vote with membership downturn!

What else is left???

We've won 6 games with a supposedly good list of players. We are chokers

And I'm not a Goodwin fan, I just don't see why he should lose his job when the players have turned into lazy bludgers

It's you who is letting the players off the hook

They are in self-preservation mode and it's clear to see

The flag went to their heads

The players are looking after themselves and are a bunch of lazy no-hopers

Unless we turn the list over we are in for years of pain. This current group is taking us backwards at a rate of knots

Goodwin has backed himself into a corner as he has never made tough selection calls. He plays his favourite players, so players are allowed to be poor with no repercussions. Players are performing well below their best and they are a big part of the problem, but this problem was created by Goodwin.

He is the disease that has spread. No fringe player is willing to push their case for selection as they are overlooked, senior players feel untouchable and have a severe case of arrogance. All coach enabled, harnessed and overlooked.


I doubt an interim president and CEO would sack the coach.

We have quietly had our list decimated in terms of 'guns' and likely not Goodwins fault.

Brayshaw - gun ,early retirement,

Jackson - pinched from us when still a 'kid'. Replacements with draft picks combines not performing to his level. One of his strengths was power forward.

ANB - very good player. Family reasons. replacement has been injured.

BB - The exact type of player we need forward now. Unfortunately Petty cannot create separation of the lead like BB and is better suited back.

Issues with Tracc and Oliver probably will not see them back to best until 2026. No guarantee though.

This season we have seen issues with May and Lever missing games and below top form.

McVEE - Not a gun yet but a lot of time injured effecting his performance - same as Windsor.

I'm not letting the players off the hook, I think they are equally as culpable as the footy department.

Fringe players? I don't see much talent there and there's about 6-8 in the Seniors who are VFL standard as well

But I agree that Goodwin has been too loyal to the (so-called) senior players ... but that doesn't give the players an out as they've decided to check out

The premiership went to their heads and it didn't help when the club (not Goodwin) decided to offer them long term juicy contracts

Chances are we're going to be stuck with a bunch of lame ducks

  • 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.
