Nicks and Longmuir are not in Victoria, not an issue 

Goodwin has underperformed in 3 Seasons along with a lot of off field distractions. 
His contract should never have been extended before last years Final Series, but that was Roffey & Pert. 

Stop talking nonsense he has underperformed in 1 season 

There is 1 premier every year

Oh wait the generic Swyl reply “we didn’t win any finals”

He had is in the top 4 from 21-23 with a flag, I know for reasons beyond your control you didn’t play but these things are bloody hard to win.

All we ask as supporters (and it isn’t accepting mediocrity) is to have us regularly pushing top 4 with a chance of winning a flag. He has done that 3 out of 4 years

 

Laughable Robbo even publishes this — the pile-on continues — shock horror!

"Diamond" Joe Gutnick is yesterday's news.

He did save the Melbourne Football Club from merger but that was in 1996. That is 28 years ago!

I remember his Presidency being full of drama and fighting with the AFL. He then lost the Presidency in 2001 or 2002 to Gabriel Szondy, from what I recall?

He still owes the Melbourne Football Club around $400,000 dollars. A debt he never paid.

He stuffed up our opportunity to have a proper Home Base at Olympic Park but unfortunately Eddie and the Magpie scum swooped in and stole the location from us!

Now in 2024 after many years in ignominy and being bankrupt (at least it says that in past newspaper articles) he has the "chutzpah" to think he speaks for us?!

In my opinion Joseph Gutnick has lost any respect he once had with most Melbourne supporters and members many years ago.

Goodwin was outcoached regularly in ‘23 & ‘24. 
I know how hard Flags are to win, but losing 4 Finals in succession and still having the same gameplan is unacceptable to me. 
That said, he will Coach in ‘25

Whether he sees the Year out is up to him

2 Finals Series out in Straight Sets on the MCG, followed by 14th. 
Using the same forward gameplan for all 3 years. 
 

I call that underperforming and a Fail

If you think the forward game plan is unchanged, you haven't been watching the games.

There were injury issues last year, plus the footy act on Brayshaw: and they lost 2 finals by a total of 9 points or so - not a fail in my book, unless anything less than a flag is a fail.

Joe has a very interesting history. I wouldn't be taking any advice from him on football matters.

What next ?  Getting Cam Schwab back as an advisor !!

Nah Cranky. I reckon we get Brian Waldron in to advise on managing our salary cap.

Why is it only my shop jobs that get taken down? 😐

I have to say it’s pretty naive of Green to meet with Gutnick. He should know that Gutnick is a regular source for the Herald Sun and hence anything spoken about could be leaked to the media.

I really hope Green sent Gutnick a text msg telling him to [censored] off and then blocked his number after the article was published.

Failing to make Prelims in 2022 and 2023 is a failure. We have failed the last 3 seasons.

Also losing Semi finals means you didn't finish in the top 4.

I love Brad Green as a footballer and a person, but this happening so incredibly soon into his Presidency tells you all you need to know about if he has the nous to be in such a role.

Give him a break. Brad's just a little bit green.

I know there’d be some 'Landers who might not agree with me, but I can confidently say that 100% of the supporters I’m friends with—whether they're in Queanbeyan or not—are absolutely clueless about what Joe is on about. It's like he's speaking in a code that only he understands, and the rest of us are just nodding along, pretending we get it!

I think he’s been talking to Abdul.

It hurts me that the only reason for this arguing is Gutnik.

Especially when Joe and both his Jewish and Gentile mates can all manage to John Lennon aside their ideological differences for one second on who may or not be responsible for the current events in the Levant to fully agree that Goodwin is not the right guy to lead the Petracca peace negotiations.

Tht is the same area as the Redlegs group and I haven't seen him at any games since he got the flick.

He was unheard of during our worst ever period between 2008 and 2014, didn't issue a murmer, all of a sudden he  wants a bit of the limelight. I will stick to my theory that the media have contacted him to continue the stirring.

Must have a new share float or IPO happening

Don't think you would have a clue about how the media operate to obtain stories and fuel the fires, if you had a few spare hours I could open your eyes to quite facts about how they go about it.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
