Just the title on the other thread makes me nauseous. 

Goodwin has delivered a period of sustained success. 

No real evidence of disharmony at the club.

His career tracks alot like Luke Beveridge, sustained criticism from a 30/20 hindsight POV.

No appreciation for the fine margins and luck involved by those calling for his head. Anyone would think he is Neeld 2.0

Has done an amazing job of blooding new talent.

Has made the occasional blue with selection, and perhaps could have been more ruthless regenerating the side after '21., but hard not to support the list that delivered a flag.

His method has been consistently good, if the team had executed better we would have played in the last two prelims. They don't hand out top 4 spots in a packet of corn flakes.

And I'm sorry that 17 other clubs don't lay down and give up their generational talent. Be real, the Max replacement is never going to be satisfying, deal with it.

 
 

Well put Dee fence, all your comments are valid and in my opinion 100% spot on.

From one who reads most of what is written by others but has only ever commented on three occasions, on this occasion felt a need to support you.


Imagine if Demonland ran Presidential elections.

i laugh at people thinking we should of won 3 flags, winning 1 is hard enough, winning 2 is bloody lucky, you wont see another 3 peat again

You forgot to mention his game plan it's terrible. Too defensive. Won't win another flag playing that way.

 

Good positive post and I agree he has many great traits that we overlook. Flags are mighty hard to win and you have to have everyone fit and going at the right time of the year. I agree that tactically he isn't a Longmire or Scott but the is a great man manager.

Look at Sydney now shades of us in 2022 win the first ten then a few injuries and the bottom falls out of the club. 

We have been consistently rewarded with success and wins for the last 5 years. The only downside is he has raised our expectations and we expect a lot. How many have Geelong and Sydney won in all their years of sustained success?

Hard to beat 2021-2023, went on a 17 game winning run which most of us haven’t seen before and probably never will again. A flag in the middle of that run. 
Have faith he will  have us competing again soon.

You must’ve taken a wrong turn, fellah. You’re looking for the outrageously insulting “Time to go Goody” thread. The trail of stupidity should lead you right to the front door.

You’re welcome 

I think Goody needs to change his assistants - time to freshen up the team to take us back to the top…

Awesome thread, M. 💖 Thank you for creating it.

 That said, I was kinda enjoying the “Time to go Goody” thread, though. Why? Well that’d be because I love the thought of the oafs who form the circle-jerk that is the SACK GOODY NOW! camp posting absolute rubbish for nothing… nada, zip, zero, zilch.

Goody is our coach. He’ll be our coach next season and the one after that.

The chumps need to get used to it.

 

whoops, it appears text predictor has chosen “chumps” instead of “champs.”

Your a poor man's SATY

Yes Simon is the right man, the players are showing their support for him and so should we. JT & TL have a huge job ahead of them to try and find players that can help fill the holes left by Gus and Jacko, etc.

❤️💙 THANK YOU GOODY ❤️💙

You’ll always be remembered as the coach who delivered us a Premiership after many, many years of misery, and for that you’ll forever have our love and respect.


Hard to disagree on the whole with the OP.  System trumps talent in modern football and whilst we have had a very good list, it’s only found any success when paired with a very good (defensive) gameplan.  

Funnily enough, in a knee jerk reaction to terrible goal kicking in ‘22, we have moved away from our proven system and the whole house has fallen down.

Premierships are hard to win - just ask Blight’s Cats (89-95), Thomas’ Saints (04-06) and Lyon’s Saints (09-11).

Essendon’s great team of the late 90s to early 00s only won one, modern cats have never gone back to back and Collinwood’s ‘10 dynasty only lasted a year!  

The ‘great’ John Longmire only has one flag with Sydney 12 years ago and the premierships that the afl ‘handed’ the expansion teams never panned out, despite their list and draft concessions.

Premierships are hard.

Who let this man in? 
 

In  - MFC supporters 

 

Out - Werribee and all his negative cronies 

So refreshing to see some positivity on this forum.

Goody has been such a big part of the changed culture.

Proud to be a member that supports the club. GO DEES!

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
