Bec Goddard left her position as Adelaide's AFLW coach at the end of the 2018 season, citing an unsatisfying contract offer. A similar scenario occurred with Michelle Cowan and Fremantle. They were subsequently replaced by big bad men who, by the way, have overseen an improvement to their respective club's win-loss record.
On the back of today's news that Geelong have let go 15 staff members as part of a $6m cost-cutting measure, including their head of women's football, the coach of Hawthorn's VFLW team posted the following tweet:
I personally think the Crows, Dockers and Cats have helped women's football take enormous strides forward in SA, WA and regional VIC. Especially in the last two years! I also predict women's football in such key areas would be immeasurably worse off if those clubs were to a) bankrupt themselves with financially irresponsible decisions; and b) carelessly abandon their AFLW programs.
It would be too easy to say Goddard's brand of cheap, solution-free hindsight is what happens when you believe the fawning praise heaped on you by airhead sycophants like Andy Maher and Sam Lane. The truth is she's always been this clueless.
