If this interview is from weeks ago or even pre-season its not going to age well this week...

Having seen a couple of eps, it's more than just about coaching. It will be about his player career, growing up playing footy I'm guessing the 2 premierships as a player then going into coaching. 

It would have been recorded before the footy season

So basically Open Mike

 

Petracca injury in 2024. The hurt 

 

what was the issue? 
 

Trac didn’t feel the love from the club 

 

We hope he feels the love now !! 
 

we were worried that he might seek a trade and had to lean into it … so we had honest and open conversations and had to show the love and every player can feel they can feel the best that can be 

On Clarry … 

“Thoughts were … do we need him to have a fresh start and considered that 

we got it wrong that we didn’t discuss with Clarry first … we looked at trade options for Clarry 

but now he feels happy and excited about the year ahead 

there were worries in pre season 2023 that he’d be playing footy going ahead “ 


How can 2025 be successful

“Curiousity 

Create fun 

Love and allow people to show their strength 

Love and healing and connection 

Put the pieces together to create 

Feeling intensity to succeed” 

“Players wanted to see the uplift in their coach and being happy “

constant dialogue around the players growing and reaching their potential. 

lots of words around the journey and learnings and being your best and love and openness etc etc etc 

basically all the phrases like you hear from a “life coaching consultant”

We not talking about Simon on 360 tonight?

we are. and not only was he repetitive and insubstantial , cliche and blindly confident, but he was also apparently unobservant of the questions asked to him.

imagine how the players feel in trying to parse his meaning (about anything for that matter), and he's meant to hold the collective vision. when one talks with such an expressive limitation and willful ignorance, good luck finding an intricate and dynamic game plan let alone execution to take on the best. 

if he's 'open' and 'accepting' 'and loving' that's only because he is like honey in a sieve.

p.s. i called for his deposement two years ago when he signd on for two more years and in the video the players were visaully and audibly underwhelmed. They just don't want to hurt his feelings at this point. And that's not a good enough reason for members

“Lost two finals in 2023 by goalkicking. 
Successful years !! (???)” 

my words … heartbreaking years!! 

yeh and that's him these days, comfortable with 'looking' good and 'sounding' good, not really 'being' good

It’s called miss management, [censored] drafting, refused to rest players in 22, failed to fix our fwd line since 21, played Oliver who didn’t  have a preseason, great culture building for others busting their butts at Casey! a club starved of success for 57 years couldn’t handle success,

Low points 

two of them 

1- “2019. The doubts as a coach. But out of darkness you find strength and mentors and learnings !! “

And 2… not discussed 
 

2025 isn’t exactly shaping up to be a party for him.

Did he say anything about winning?

 

I fear the 'love' mantra is the club's 2025 buzzword that 'culture' was last year.

I'm already tired of hearing it.  Its being overplayed and pretty soon the 'love' talk will be ridiculed by fans and the media just as the 'culture' narrative was ridiculed last year.

Time for football to do the talking.

I get the feeling he just means 'appreciate' and Petracca didn't feel appreciated. Maybe it's just me but I'd have thought people want to be appreciated at work and by their loved ones. That said I don't want to hear the MFC (or in my personal life) going on and on about either love or appreciation, especially it feels hollow.

I agree with the Petracca reference but that is now ancient history.  Petracca has moved on. 

Goodwin seems to talk about 'love' in every interview regardless of the context. 

As they say in the classics:  talk is cheap!

Time to stop trying to convince everyone the club is a loving place. 

 

As John Lennon wrote - All you need is love

*and wins

So now we’ve installed, and are telling the world we have a culture based on love.

How about instead we stfu and instigate a culture of winning.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
