Making it all the more wrong if he was involved in this decision.

Richardson should’ve been the first to go imo.

Everything about the FD is poor.

    I wonder how we can afford to sack so many well paid contracted senior members of our footy department.

    Brad Green was a great player and captain but he comes across as a President out of his league. He doesn’t instil confidence or stability. Hopefully Steven Smith has the maturity and business nouse to truly lead this club to a place of power. This changeover can’t happen soon enough.

    Goody's relationship with our senior players is very special and was both a positive and a negative thing in the end.

    Also lol at this drive by around the Casey facilities.

    A backhander to our administration in failing to secure a home base in his tenure.

    I actually applaud Brad Green for being quite courageous in this decision. He's a little bit on a hiding to nothing here and I know I certainly had asked the question: had he the cohunas?? Well that's been resoundingly answered.

    A hard decision to have to make. I salute you 🫡

    Goody pointedly praising certain individuals (PJ, Mahoney) for creating stability at the club for a 6 year period.

    clear message - there has not been stability for the past 3 years

    Good on Brad for fronting up but Steven Smith will be the driving force behind this.

    Got to say, goody coming across very well in this presser.

    He's copped a lot of [censored], but I think he's always been a club and player first in everything he has said publicly.

    With all the challenges he has never waivered in his positivity or unwavering support of his players.

    Goody will be high on the list of candidates for any club looking for a head of footy

    I disagree - i think its the wrong decision, but if it was to be done, it is the right timing.

    Steve Smith has a massive job - not sure a cushy MCC job and a long holiday is the right lead up.

    I hope Brad Green is telling porkies that we havent already got a plan re a replacement

    He was simply incapable of fixing our forward line problems and that was his downfall

    I for one am shocked that Tom Fullarton and Shane McAdam weren’t the answers.

    I reckon Richo also knows he is gone, thought it was strange that he was spoken to at all.

    These things are never easy. In the end it was done well enough for me. Clearly Brad isnt the best spokesman, but i think he is just nervous and trying to calm his emotion at the outcome.

    Goody was the ultimate professional and it will be tough seeing him at a different team.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
