Who would you like to see as our next coach?

Any exciting young coach available?

Discuss. Cheers.

 

Yeah someone younger who has an attacking mindset, I can't watch this slow boring [censored] anymore, North have been a better team to watch than us. 

Goodwin has one coaching style and he has refused to change it for years.

We are boring, we won't get crowds to watch this crud but we will be stuck with him cos the club loves him and they won't sack him.

Barlow had pretty big wraps on him.

 

Not sure the coach is the problem the list is wrong, the game has shifted from contest and defence to speed, and skills is a must and without kozzy and Windsor we have none of it

Not too sure, but Goodwin has got to go.

Feel like we need a coach that is not all about “lovey dovey” relationships and can give the group a good bake.

Trac will probably again want out, so too Kozzie. Clarry not too sure, none of May, Gawn, Lever or Viney are getting any younger either.

Time to face reality and recognise our time at the top is well and truly over.

We have McVee, Rivers can be good.

Start building with the youngsters trade most of the vets, whoever has any value.

And its only Round 2

Round 2. Should have given Goodwin the big Axe last year 

Would have if it was up to me. Players love him apparently. I love anyone who lets me sit on the coach and do nothing and tell me I’m special 

Anyone who has a game plan that includes fast ball movement and hires a goal kicking coach.

Thank you for educating me. I didn't know the coach had nothing to do with the list build.

John Longmire please.

Agreed.

The only negative with Longmire is his record on grand final day, but that won’t be an issue for years when it comes to the MFC.

Rebuilt Sydney really well after 2019-2020 and perhaps he can guide us through a rebuild of ours.

Longmire or Simpson

Simpson reeks of Goodwin 2.0, it's a no for me.

Should be more bold and try a new guy like Hawthorn did.

You actually need to have a look at yourself absolutely shizen post, but the way you carried on the game day thread should have picked this.

Shocking loss yes absolutely unacceptable by the players but

Sack the coach and Retire Gawn in Rd 2

I did not say retire Gawn. I want to really think what are we going to do with our veteran players.

Wether you like it or not they won't play forever.

Are we rebuilding?

Do we think we have even a remote chance to compete in the next 3 season?


Look at the way Mitchell has matched his game plan to the skill set his playing group. 

Goodwin wants to play a brand of football that his players either can't or won't execute. If he won't change, it is time to go.

Yes we can compete, did you watch last week, did we compete yes.

Gawn was BOG last week 

Losing and shocking performances happen.

Seen it before and seen it turn.

You are entitled to your opinion. Hard for me to see us compete (i.e win a final, which we haven't done since September 2021).

I think we are in the cross roads of a potential rebuild. Which is not so bad considering the talent we have collected in the draft the last 3 years.

 

Goodwin and Tim Lamb have completely butchered our list management.

Fancy offering a cooked Viney a contract extension all because Norf bluffed us.

Completely disheartened with this footy club.

Jaymie Graham. Just like how most credit Yze for our flag, Simpson has had similar praise for Graham as forward coach of West Coast from 2017-19. 

Not too sure of his tactical nouse, but even hearing Riewoldt positively speak about him in the past from his time with St Kilda, it may be a risk worth taking.

A young coach with a lot to prove and will no doubt be a refresher to go hand in hand with a restart for the club. Worked with McCrae and Mitchell, so with another year of assistant experience at Fremantle, he would no doubt be better for it should a club like us come calling.

We still have a nucleus of a very good list who are all seriously underperforming.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
