Goodwin is the MAN!

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.

    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.

    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.”

    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.

    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!

      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.
