Would you need to give them a 5 year contract with exit causes?

Feel saddened whilst I did say he’s Goody time was up , it’s a scene we as members. And supporters have lived through for many a decade, Goodwin is the fall guy but the instability off field issues played a role and that’s what’s frustrating as why our club just can’t get its [censored] together! They will need to sell a stability of vision and a home base training centre to any candidates! For Goody thanks you will ever be a Demon Premiership coach and the joy you brought us in 21!

I’m not in denial our club has many issues, I don’t take joy in Coaches being sacked, and disappointed for Goody but also frustrated with our club who just can’t get stability which would have impacted our premiership clock in 22/23, it’s rinse and repeat of presidents & CEOs, P Jackson laid the foundations yet they found a war to demolish them

Correct my point is the fact Smith will be the 4th president since 2021 & 3rd CEO. That’s the instability

I don’t disagree based on his win loss ratio we have been going backwards, but highlighting how poor our club is getting the stability right and how all the issues ultimately impacted on him, what’s the accountability on Richardson running of the footy dept?

Empty feeling & It’s rinse and repeat for our club, have witnessed this every decade since the 70s, we are so unstable with drama every decade & how we won a flag is amazing! They all found a way to sabotage the club for continued success, the environment Goodwin had to coach in after P Jackson laid the stability foundations with Roos is very sad and will haunt the missed opportunities to win another flag during the 22-23 period! Goodwin had issues no question but the constant off field dramas didn’t help with the instability of interim President & CEO, a hard sell will be needed to convince a Longmire, Simpson, Hinkley to want to coach with the only positive that the list is in decent shape. When will this club ever be stable???

So Melb like the way it was handled… with interim President & CEO who should have been present! Were the new replacements involved in the decision?? We appear so unstable and issues run deeper than just Goodwin though his results were poor and time was up, who’s been responsible for the culture & player behaviour and the handling along with the Trac issues, the footy set should not be spared! Sad day and whilst may be warranted as hear g goody say ignore the score board & don’t get hung up on the results is about clubs on a full rebuild not one that he thinks can win another flag! Thanks for the flag Goody! To new President & CEO you have a big job ahead to get the right coach & fix the footy dept issues, keep any talent from requesting a trade, culture issues & that damn home base for once and for all

Goes deeper than just Goodwin , footy dept, list mgt , culture issues & let’s not kid ourselves they are real as why Trac was [censored] off! How it’s been handled needs to be questioned and club needs to justify this but reality is his time was up

Correct decision but club needs to justify the process & timing along with being respectful to our only living premiership coach! Hearing Goodwin say ignoring the score board & not getting hung up on the results was not great.. he’s record 8/18, culture issues.

As usual a messy & poorly handled with interim president & Ceo, only 3 days ago we had Green sending a letter what appeared the support of Goodwin and a week later he’s sacked, agree his time was up but such a crappy look with not the new president or ceo in place, club will need justify the process, I just hope it’s done respectfully and respect that he did win a flag

It’s sad that we view our only living Norm Smith & posters as ready to ditch him! Trac brings all the things you want the young players to look up as a role model, professionalism in every facet of being an afl footballer, sure he’s not at he’s absolute best & the game has changed plus he’s injury will take time to heal mentally, I’d rather him than Oliver and no disrespect to Oliver but Trac never went off the rails, he stays make him Captain give him the the responsibility

No doubt decisions need to be made on list mgt and to trade in experienced talent not to mention the footy dept & coaches, all the talk has been from President to Coach that Oliver & Trac will remain and no talk of trading them … to flip on this would leave egg on the face of Goodwin but hey he did say how much they valued Grundy! Why are these managers getting these players to sign long term deals then expect the club to work out a trade and still get paid the same, if a player wants out they should negotiate a new contract and not burden the club!

Can’t see it happening as Goodwin had confirmed they will be in the red & blue unless if they want a massive pay cut as the club want be paying the difference

How I wish a straight sets exit for the filth

It’s damning if true and when will our club ever learn from its history of poor decisions & lack of leadership! We just have so many issues across the footy dept & ceo level

It’s mind boggling how much of a mess we have become again! How, why & who have allowed this to happen as it appears from President down we just don’t have our house in order! Yet so many work in private successful organisations! Why do we chose a CEO with zero football background with all of our issues & cant start until Sept? Why did we not appoint a president after Roffey resigned? Why is our footy dept in a mess??

that’s the issue tough love on Oliver … he missed a preseason yet got senior games, real tough love would have made him earn his fitness via Casey & earn his spot .. that’s culture setting

He’s continues to say not to get hung up on the results & ignore the scoreboard! Wow 7/18 win loss ratio & bottom 4 finish, talking like we are 2017 in his first season rebuild .. pathetic and a weak board sitting on their hands , 15k drop in membership in last 2 years equals close to 2mill vs paying him out 1mill…

Not sure if these are the rules but after his presser all supporters blood should be boiling!

Maybe Goodwin should tell GWS coach don’t get hung up on the scoreboard or the result like he does! Ignore our win loss of 7/18 hey let’s hold hands around the camp fire and sing ha much love we have and watch other teams play finals & win flags, honestly what a joke we are!

Listened to his presser copy & paste, got asked about the leadership on field with so many of the core playing group the same who won a flag and he his reply was it’s a different group…. Wow in denial that these players are not listening to you Simon!

Unfortunately no club will ever reveal all of their reviews due to IP and personal privacy, the theme this season was around love, suggesting they were not showing enough care eg trac injury etc, this is poor and it falls on the footy dept & Goodwin as this is culture! The continue saying we look at the process rather than the scoreboard… sorry it’s a win loss industry, does this give players an out?? Seems off skew and somehow they feel they have to provide something to the footy world eg to he’ll and back in 2020… you don’t hear this from strong clubs cats, pies, it bs nonsense clutching at straws…keep this in house!

There has been issues within the playing list since 22 with the May restaurant incident, followed by the Oliver, Smith which questioned the culture and the fall out with Trac as he bluntly said driving for higher standards, why did Hunter retire on 199 games & which player does that, connect the dots…. I believe there are fractures which has lead to selfish rather than selfless! Is culture setting allowing a player who missed preseason Oliver and still played senior footy vs others who busted their butts then miss out. These decision all lay under the footy dept/coaching

Which sums up our club! Nothing against Guerra but why have we chosen someone with zero football experience?? Considering all the issues we’ve had as bd the skill set of how clubs function etc not mention that a new CEO should he been in the chair to make key decisions around the football dept! The buck does stop with Goodwin, he’s currently 7-18 and no finals win since 21! Who’s responsible for the culture issues and the Oliver issue, why was he given senior games after missing pre season, that’s culture setting. The football dept responsibility of list mgt & the poor trade selections to improve our list, compare us against last 3 premiers who they have traded in is Richardson accountable for this?? Need sweeping changes and yes Goodwin needs to go

Comparing this to 186 is chalk & cheese … the list now is far better & we were winning not getting flogged… but I agree it highlights we have issues from coaching to footy dept & there are issues within the playing group, they are not totally unified and or are over Goodwin just like majority of supported & members and why he should remain if only financial is a reflection of our poorly run club once again!
