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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
