Define building phase exactly? Because 2019 and 2020 was a complete and utter failure from a year where 2018 was going to be the stepping stone for being a contender on a consistent level. Chappy will say that. But reality is, hes a good coach, not brilliant.

Internet is your friend.

5 first gamers this year. Please dont count players that have previously played AFL games else especially when one especiallywill be delisted in 3 weeks time.

Love it.. 👏

Im with you in that i too like him and think he can become a decent player with us. Though I disagree in terms of adding weight. I feel if anything he needs to strip weight as he looks heavy to me with his movement and agility.

Great news if true

You're angry at passionate Melbourne supporters for being critical of our on field performance for the past 2 years which realistically falls on the responsibility of the head coach and players? If this is what makes you angry two days on from a decision made by the footy club which let's remind you, is far bigger then the individual, then maybe time to step away and take a breather on a different perspective of life.

Well, not interesting considering Roosy pretty much lives in Hawaii now days..... Does he really have to have a relationship with either Goodwin or Horse?

If anyone has a chance please listen to the Max Gawn on triple M interview. One of his best interviews I've ever heard him i reckon. He made a gag that Ed Langdon butchered the interview yesterday when they asked him about supporting the decision.

But would you classify us as a struggling club? Because I wouldnt.. Essendon, North and St Kilda have had years of mediocrity with no finals for a number of years. Goodwins record is similar to Nathan Buckley at Collingwood. Bucks had 3 years in a row of playing finals before being removed in 2021. Similar to us, we played finals for 3 years in a row finishing top 4 each year before we have then had the down year last year and obviously this year. From 2019, GWS went from grand final, missing finals in 2020, finals in 2021 and then winning 6 games in 2022. Honestly what difference does it make if you're year or two out of finals... A change of coach has proven to have its benefits, if done correctly. We are not a Richmond or North Melbourne made up of purely young kids. There is a blend of youth and old in our squad and as Adelaide have shown, it only takes a good off season of drafting and trading to really turn things around. Someone like a Buckley or Longmire has that pulling power with players. Get that decision correct and who knows what could happen next year.

This is my understanding from speaking to a family member of his a month back, but Charlie is currently assessing his options at the end of the year. I think he wants a fresh start, but I dont know entirely know whether there is interest or not as we didn't discuss opposition club interests.

John Longmire very cagey on 360. Didn't exactly shut the door, but definitely left it open.. That's my take anyhow.

Set for a 1 year extension

Thanks mate. Do feel we have narrowed our candidates to just the experience coaches out there or will we look at untried coach as well.

This is factually incorrect GWS and Collingwood both played in preliminary finals a year after change in coaches. Both stayed in finals contention since. Sam Mitchell made a semi final in his 3rd year. Dimma Hardwick is about to take the Suns into finals in only his second year at the helm. Chris Fagan took them to a semi final in his 3rd year in 2019 and hasnt missed a finals since. Richmond you cannot count because they have gone full rebuild but Yze has done an outstanding job considering no one tipped them to win a game after losing significant amount of experienced players. Removing Goodwin will be the best thing this club has done since the appointment of Jackson. We needed fresh voice and energy and I have no doubt we'll get that with the new coach.

Different response to Langdon but again, good honesty from Viney. Jack says he fully understands that its a cut throat industry and he and the players are fully supportive of it moving forward.

Thanks Gator. Interestingly around that time period we had just come off the back of two back to back smashings from North and Gold Coast. I remember after the North or Gold Coast game, I voiced openly that I was officially on the its time to move Goodwin on stage. Not only had supporters had enough but clearly so did our board members. Clearly Buckley and Longmire are our standout targets it seems.

Thanks for the insight mate. Ignore the haters.
