Back in time Sydney wanted to replace Paul Roos as coach. The players staged a revolt. Paul Roos remained coach.

Simon Goodwin is popular with the players.

 

And a bloody good premiership winning coach...

pfft, you don't want to talk to the hoi polloi when there's corporates to engage!

Yes Joe has just been denied the right to run companies by Asic for 4 years

Not a good person to be taking advice from in my view

back to the future and not in a good way.

Why the [censored] would Green even entertain meeting Gutnik? What relationship would they have? So they have a private meeting and the first thing Gutnik does is go to the media. WTF. If this is seriously how the club operates no wonder we are in the [censored], seriously amateur hourimage.png.1c6e86a6d72963638d7a44992acd7098.png

The ONLY justification for Green meeting Gutnick, was if it was under the premise of donating money towards the new training facilities. 

Otherwise there is no reason in the world he should have caught up with him, and given he's now run to the media to dish the dirt, it's time to block his number.

I don't know whether Gutnick has any money in his own name. I seem to recall he was made bankrupt and declared his only assets were the family home and a small bank account. I think his diamond company was insolvent too. That may have all changed now, although he has been banned from being a company director as well.

Agree - Brad, walk away and block his number!

Who is nearly past his use by date. Some of the footy this year was disgraceful and he is not teaching our youngsters the proper balance of the game. Contest/ defence is not the only way and outdated ( possibly more useful  in Finals) but you must aim to kick goals not just save them. )

Justin Leppitch would be a possibility! And I dont know the inner workings, but IMO I think Goodwins coaching especially on match day has been found wanting, just in my opinion and plenty will differ, some will agree!

I think you're overestimating just how much a head coach can do on gameday. It's not chess, he can't go out there and physically position the players to make sure they're in the right spots. It's also not NFL, where the gameplan can change play by play.

I'd be very interested to see what changes you think he could have made (outside of Petty for Jefferson, which isn't a matchday issue, nor is it purely Goodwin's decision)

Dr you are living in rut if you think that Simon can’t do what a Senior Coach is paid for.
we hat about his Assistants they are responsible aren’t they under a Simon’s influence and direction. 
Yhankfully we have a new forward coach we hen he is chosen who I hope can understand how a forward line should operate.

Dimon this last season is still caught up with contest/defence and the offensive play of the forward line is vastly overlooked. What should have happened is that MJ could have net given a trial in the G coast game. AMW should have played looking to 2025 but Don says nothing changes. And that’s it.

Look at Sam Mitchell I can imagine how different he would have our list. 

Uf you can’t see changes are necessary then we will make but during the year it st end of 2025’if Simon doesn’t see the light.

Just a few then, Smashed by West Coast, West Coast ????Continuation of Petty as a forward, refusal to send a hard tag on Horne Francis, Daicos, et all various selections blunders including selecting Brown for one game making him sub then dropping him, not putting more games into Moniz Wakefield, not selecting Jeffo vs Gold Coast ( ideal lead in game) and many others! Justa a few instances !

No and what difference would it make?

I was struggling to find a reason, like most on here, why Gutnick would approach Green, and why Green might meet with him, Elwood. I mean, as far as i know, Gutnick hasn’t approached any other president to give advice to. So why Green? I simply asked the question to see if there was maybe a “faith” link. Certainly nothing sinister in my mind. I’m sorry if my question offended you.

Great to see that Joe is still supporting the club.Has had his ups and downs even when president ,but probably if he never came to the rescue we would have joined Fitzroy as a part of footy history.Was a tragic day when he lost the presidency.

 

 

 

g

you are kidding, I doubt he is a member. Hasn't been heard of since he got booted out and all of a sudden he is a topline supporter. I reckon this is a set up.

Mmm dunno about that. He coached the Lions for 3 seasons and won 14 of 66 games. He is well regarded as an assistant coach but it is so hard to assess assistants' ability as a senior coach.

A lot of people on here wanted Goodwin fired and Yze installed, yet look at Richmond. They are a rabble now, with no apparent game plan.

I see him at many non Sabbath games (Thursday/Sunday/perhaps Saturday nights) in the Premium Members section with a couple other younger family members so unless he's being given tickets by the club then he is a paid up Premium Member.

A “set up” for what?

A set up in the Herald Sun's dreadful campaign against the Melbourne Football Club dishonestly suggesting that there was a mutiny at the club based on a poll taken on line.

"Thousands of Melbourne fans have backed former president Joe Gutnick's call for the embattled club to sack coach Simon Goodwin."

The poll was open to the public and there's no evidence as to how many of the people who voted are Melbourne fans.

This is a disgraceful and dishonest set up against Simon Goodwin and a breach of journalistic ethics. The only person who deserves to get the sack is the person responsible for this outrage.

Feels like it's a no win for Brad, he did what he had to do. 

If Joe asks to meet him for lunch and he declines Joseph eventually tells Robbo 'I have reached out to Brad to offer some assistance but he chose not to meet with me' 

Instead Brad meets with Joe, no doubt to hear what he has to say and seek some benefits the other way and Joe tells Robbo, 'I have told Brad he should sack the coach, etc...'

Green probably accepted as a courtesy given Gutnik was President in the early part of Green's career.

Green seems a lovely bloke but not very 'street wise' particularly in the business world.  A bit naive perhaps. 

It was fairly low for an ex-President to blab to the media and I have no idea why he would give Robbo a complete rundown of his own ideas. 

Lots of people will come knocking on Green's door.  He would do well to heed these lessons.

Shameful

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
