Been sacked. Announcement soon.

GOODY GONE

Just said on SEN that Goodwin has been sacked.

OK, it is done now.
Let's smash 2026

Gone! Thanks for 2021.

Wonder if this is effective immediately, or if he coaches out the season. Who will coach the side this week?

Thanks for the Premiership Simon. Will always appreciate it. It's time for the new era at the Dees! With the young talent we have, I hope we can rejuvinate quickly!

Not getting through to the end of the season or notice before the last round seems particularly poor.

Goodwin wasn’t perfect, but can’t help but think the club as a whole is worse.

All the best Goody

Wonder if there has been behind the scenes stuff going on and we have a replacement ready to go or at least in deep conversations. I personally would like Longmire but will c what happens.

Has to be done now - gives a chance to get things in place before preseason starts. Otherwise its not together until Christmas at the earliest

So long Goody, thank you for the premiership

Brutal.

I am of the view that it’s the right call for 2026, but the timing is brutal.

I wish him all the best. He brought us our first flag in 57 years, multiple finals campaigns after a 12 year drought, relevance and excitement. He also had to deal with relentless media scrutiny, a dysfunctional board/club and no proper home base.

I hope he gets the recognition he deserves, whether you think this is the right call or not.

Terrible timing from Green with 3 games to go in the season. Not the way to treat a premiership coach. A little respect could have been shown. Thanks Goody

We pick the oddest timing for everything hey.

Fitness guys and assistants run what little of the program they do before summer these days.

The biggest benefit is list management, but we’ve got all of September to get a coach before our high stakes pursuit of Wade Derksen

This is truly bizarre timing if it turns out to be true. After the St. Kilda loss there was a scheduled board meeting on the Monday morning, if you were going to do anything wouldn't that have been the time to do it, not wait a week and then after an 83 point win suddenly drop the axe?

Paul Roos step on down!

Disrespectful would be not telling him when we had made a decision.

Andy was right on the podcast, less than a 100 point win was unacceptable and the blackest mark since the day down in Geelong that saw dean bailey gone.

But in a bit more seriousness, thanks for the flag Simon. Thanks for captaining Max and a whole lot of joyful memories throughout the journey. I had lots of learnings along the way.

The passage of time will tell us whether it needed to be done now, or could have waited 3 weeks.

But for those who want the club to be #ruthless, you’ve got your wish.

If this destabilises the club, well, you made your bed.

I hope this isn’t Green making a #bigcall just to justify that he isn’t an interim president. I hope this has been well thought through.

I want Hayden Skipworth to coach Melbourne.

Best coach in my lifetime. Delivered a drought breaking flag. A Demons legend. But the time is right, the club needs a fresh voice.

Thank you Simon and all the best

Forever a legend of the club, thanks Goody. Best for all parties concerned however.

A rare strong position from an otherwise impotent board.

Hallelujah faith restored!

Absolutely bizarre timing.

I have 0 faith in this board but I’m praying they have a plan in place for a new coach and a plan to keep the players happy.
