Board was pushing him out. Apparently his behaviour after the Port loss last year really touched a nerve.

He publicly criticised the playing group after the Port game for their performance.

I remember he went to the media saying the loss was unacceptable, not Melbourne, don't give guernseys out in Weet-Bix boxes etc.

she has made some very ordinary decisions out at Wyndham council, so I'll reserve judgment for the time being
Also there is a pretty good chance she will be named Wyndham CEO in the next month or so

Hadn't realised that she was a council worker... if you can call them workers. That worries me.

That seems like a long time ago. This seems more sudden, especially seeing as he was due to leave at the end of the season anyway.
I wonder if the decision to hold an event at that men's club had anything to do with it.

Glen Barlett delivering home truths that were 100% spot on the money got him removed? Are you serious?
**** me, we are softer than I could have ever imagined if so.

Who are the people that it rubbed the wrong way? Don't tell me Goodwin got another person removed that he didn't get along with. Anyone would think he's a 5 time premiership coach the way we carter to his fragile ego.

It's all speculation at the moment so as fun as it is, premature to go off at Goody, etc yet. Does seem a bit fishy though with how sudden it is.

Dees to have first female president as Bartlett pushed
Melbourne is set to appoint the first female president in the club’s 163-year history, with Kate Roffey taking over from the outgoing Glen Bartlett.
This is the article that details it.

Could also mean the club doesn't leak.

Goody has a history of changing people around him who he doesn't get along with, even if they are good at their job.
Easy person to point the finger at.

So by the sounds of it, he was alienated by the club and board and the board pushed him out, I'm fine with that, we don't know any of the inner machinations so can't really speculate. Good to see we have our first female president, very proud moment for the club, she looks very well accomplished and looking forward to the future.

Jeez I love some good speculation 
old mate blaming Goodwin far out, how bizarre.
Bartlett is a part of the old school problem that's plagued the dees for eternity.
Internally, the club wants to build their inclusiveness, equality and the like. Bartlett married his secretary who is substantially younger than him, for example. Now that doesn't exactly stack up when the board wants to grow equality and all that jazz. It also comes after the heat of the pre season launch where he and others spoke,held at a club that refuse to allow women memberships. Again, not a big issue in isolation but these add up.
There's not disharmony per se, but key stakeholders were not seeing him as a leader for all with regards to what the club (and where the club) want to be.
Also, look forward to some talk on home base with state of the art women's facilities etc being the cornerstone later this year.

I remember Bartlett made a bit of noise about changing his title from Chairman to President because apparently 'chairman' was offending people?? Seems like a token effort to appease the growing discontent.
How good is speculation!

Having the best facilities and most investment into the AFLW would be massive, to be pioneers in women's sport would be something to be really proud of. I like the way the club is headed with its efforts to emphasise diversity and inclusiveness, can only be positive.Jeez I love some good speculation

Okay this would be a wretched outcome

We’ve beaten 9, 10 and 11. If we’d lost those three games we’d have lost to 5, 6 and 7.

If you didn't know who they were you'd guess Greeny was the big FF back in the day.
