I’d be quite astonished if this were true. Green seemed like he was a big fan of Goodwin. We also know that Smith was present at the board meeting that Goodwin presented at a week before he got the chop. Also presidents don’t make decisions on their own, boards do. Not to mention green came off like he was reading a script at the presser, felt very coached. I think it’s more likely that they want Smith and Guerra to come in with a clean slate. Green is effectively there to make the big decisions before being parachuted out. Not uncommon corporate strategy.

Too little too late. We’ve won two games since round 11 against bottom 4 sides.

That was the most frustrating thing to listen to. So many factual inaccuracies and half truths.

Wtf is this article? Lmao [censored] off Caro.

Buckley should come in and coach us for the final round to knock the pies out of the 8. Would be like a WWE face turn.

Buckley came into the job too early and stuffed things up but rebuilt the list and got better as a coach in the second half of his tenure.

Rest anyone under a cloud, but Club should have the attitude of treating the next three weeks like a finals series and try and go into next year with some momentum.

Massive hit.

Think they changed the rules after that. Iirc a bunch of finals teams got hurt by their assistants being poached that season.

The main thing that the board would have considerd as far as supporters are concerned is the drop off of memberships and attendances.

I hope you're right but worth noting the AFL's colours are also red and blue.

Was literally trolling the forum a couple of weeks ago with 'intel' that Goodwin was safe.

Would have been nice if he came to us when he left Brissy.

It's so funny how the media flips the narrative once it's no longer polite to criticise Goodwin. Most of the people shedding crocodile tears were the loudest ones calling for change.

Gawn really is the best club ambassador I've ever seen.

Spargo has been a great servant to the club but he's been pushed out of the side. If he has a decent offer elsewhere he should go, not much more than depth for us these days.

Just rent Waverley as a stop gap. Get the admin and footy department at one location. Half the drive from the city. Sort out Caufield in the background. It will make us instantly more appealing as a club.

They wouldn't. Oliver would have to ask his manager to find a trade and they would come back with the best offers.

Someone will pay 800k for Oliver that ain't a heap of money in the current game.

Didn't Langdon say the senior players got told the same night as Goodwin?

Stability is great when things are working. Disruption is necessary it's not.

I'm still on the fence with Buckley but starting to lean more on the yes side. He speaks about as well as anyone in the media and is open about mistakes he's made and how he can improve as a coach. Really seems to have the passion for it and got a sense he was pretty keen.

Think it's pretty rare that a playing group will endorse a coach sacking, let's be honest.

I think Goodwin raising it was pretty telling. It's clearly a sore point. When it comes to recruitment and player retention, training facilities matter.

Pretty excited about the next era. Things were feeling very stale. Give me a coach with some real vision about where to take the club.
