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.

    How the club and the board have gone about this is so poor. Right decision, [censored] execution and [censored] timing

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
