Nathan Jones joins MFC as an Assistant Coach
No love lost for the guy. Donât blame him at all for accepting the offer, as he obviously is still very passionate about the club and wants to be involved. But I donât think itâs disrespectful to question the appointment. My biggest concern is that heâs been in the âsystemâ for so long, and might not be brimming with fresh ideas or bring any constructive criticisms to Goodwinâs methods.

The Harry Armstrong Thread
Certainly a selfless player who pulls off some pretty miraculous stuff, but not enough mongrel for my mine. Pretty sure the Saints are going to pick him up, anyway.

Sam Weideman has been delisted
I totally agree that the moment on the field itself shouldnât be enough to deter a would-be professional athlete. Donât know if you can recall the broadcast, but it was a very intrusive shot through a window, into an area where he probably thought he had a degree of privacy. I was quite struck by it at the time, as it is rare to see such a thing after a match. Particularly when it isnât a high profile player.

Sam Weideman has been delisted
That moment broke him. He wept in the change rooms, and the broadcaster chose to put cameras on him. Was a vile decision from them to add public humiliation on top of the personal misery of a young kid still trying to find his feet in the game. He never found the confidence to bounce back from that.

Kozzy Homesick & Wants to Leave?
The most accurate, non-opinionated and subjective answer I can provide for this question is: more people than those who love Perth.

Itâs wild. 136 pages in, yet this post would be be perfectly at home on top of page one.- Oliver Trade Rumours
Look, I donât want to hammer you about thisâŠ. But regarding said poster (and any others who may fall into a similar category), I get that you might not consider their input as useful or relevant to your needs, but calling people who devote their time and put words into actions for the club we all support here âlosersâ seems unnecessarily harsh. Iâll just leave it at that- Oliver Trade Rumours
Itâs not the âregular postingâ mate. Itâs the tone of the regular posts. You seem a bit angry. WhateverâŠ- Oliver Trade Rumours
Geez, youâre on a bit of a roll Bowserpower. Maybe pop a couple of nurofen and start fresh tomorrow.- Oliver Trade Rumours
Calm down, dude. Man, this site is becoming increasingly toxic of late.- Oliver Trade Rumours
That itâs not a pissing adjective. (Sorry, I just noticed that Saty got past the censors with âpissingâ, so itâs going to be my go-to adjective from now on).- Oliver Trade Rumours
Or an adult saying âcringeâ instead of âcringeworthyâ.- Time to go Goody?
And people who read the text messages to Stephen Dank and are unable to forget them I am as obliged to love the coach of my football team, as I am obliged to love the Prime Minister of my country. Ipso facto, I am not obliged at all.- Time to go Goody?
I see this statistic a lot. Surely some of it is attributable to the strength of our list in recent years.- Oliver Trade Rumours
Weirdly, Iâd be much more OK with Claz at the Saints. In fact Iâd go so far as to say if he was a part of their first flag since â66, Iâd actually be happy for the guy.- Oliver Trade Rumours
I was of the same opinion only just a couple of days ago. As for his CVâŠ.Austereo, CH. 9 and the Collingwood FC. Yeah it would seem âcultural cancerâ is the guyâs specialty.- Oliver Trade Rumours
There are always exceptions to the rule. Nesbitt is clearly a one-club person whose dedication comes from a profound connection. Pert is - as it would seem - a professional âAFLâ CEO who we imported from a cultural wasteland.- Oliver Trade Rumours
Regardless of how you feel about him, five years is too long to be the CEO of a professional sporting club. That aside, this is a train wreck and at the end of the day, heâs the train driver.- Oliver Trade Rumours
Will not be renewing membership while Pert is CEO.- Oliver Trade Rumours
If true, both Pert and Goodwin going into 2025 together is untenable. And again, if true, the board must remove the CEO as soon as possible. Whether or not such actions are justified, going rogue is inexcusable.- Oliver Trade Rumours
One theory: Goodwin has to say he still wants Clarry in case a deal doesnt get done.- Oliver Trade Rumours
Who is âweâ exactly though? Because Goodwin apparently doesnât. If weâre to believe him, forces higher up are about to strip him of a club champion. A champion who he believes he can still manage and return him to his best form. So either thatâs not how he really feels, or the club are officially saying they have no confidence he can. This all fits in with the notion that one of Goodwinâs characteristics is being âmatesâ with the players. I canât help but be reminded of the teachers I had in high school who wanted to be âinâ with the students (âthe ones whoâd say âNone of that âmisterâ stuff, call me Steveâ). You liked them but you didnât fear them, and you were often trying to find out where the boundaries actually were. - Kozzy Homesick & Wants to Leave?
