I agree with the mass of what you said, but

1. the instability right now and for the last several years has been reinforced by Goodwin. 

2. our premiership was coming - with the list we had it was almost inevitable, once we started with those breakthrough wins against Hawthorn in 2016 etc. Goodwin might have had very little to do with it when you consider the stature of Gawn Petracca and Oliver and May and Lever.

3. A new coach doesnt have to take long to succeed (see Mcrae and Chris Scott)- 24 months, sometimes less.

4. Much as we love Goody and want it to work, we need to use our reason over our emotions on this one. Goody just selected Billings again - the guy can't play football. 

I don’t agree we have instability now ..2 games in ..wow

Premierships don’t just come ..you only have to look at present day history to see proof of that. GWS springs to mind with a list full of top end talent for years

Scott took over a Premiership team ..he can thank Bomber Thompson for his first premiership & I’m still shaking my head at the Pies premiership …

It’s not us loving Goody it’s the players who love Goody more importantly & as for selecting Billing’s..maybe just look at who’s out injured/suspended ..our list is a bit thin at the moment & surely you can’t object to Turner..Howes & Woey getting a spell ?

They're not that different either TU

Maybe not. But tell me whether it's better that employees love their workplace and colleagues, just like both or despise either

Don Scott and Leigh Matthews did not speak to each other for years at Hawthorn 

Didn’t stop them winning multiple Premierships together. 
 

Just do your F$&@ job to the best of your ability….

I'm sure it helped🙄

I wish Damian Barrett's editors would take a tough love approach with his copy.

Spout and sprout are two entirely different words. As verbs, they don't mean anything like the same thing.

100% - You can spruik or spout an ideology, but sprouting is just weird.

Those are 2 diametrically opposed options. Obviously better not to despise your work mates. If you do i suggest you find a new job.

Now that i think of it, the best environment I worked in was in a factory. We had a competent crew and great banter going. The work itself was tedious and arduous but the day passed quickly because we were cracking jokes and taking the pizz out of each other. I had that as well to an extent playing football but there were always one or two DHs to be avoided on the team

So i would say being able to have a laugh and a joke definitely helps to bond with colleagues. Professional or not i think that would be very important in a footy team environment.

He is a [censored] [censored], and always thinks the worst of MFC.

Don't know what is going on but it is cringe worthy.

Exactly! While it's easy to mock buzzwords if a workplace is having more fun without interfering with them achieving their main goals it can but help. I hope this is the case with Melbourne and we leave them be to prove it.
