Coach Goodwin sacked

[Rod Stroker]

He could only win using Paul Roos old gameplan ...
didn't really have his own style

you....can't be serious. Roos left in 2016. Goodwin won the flag 5 years later in 2021. highly unlikely that someone elses 5 year old game plan would have won him the flag. the game moves and evolves too quickly.

Big ange to coach the dees?!?

 

[Freomaniac]

3 years too late

But better late than never

Simon Goodwin outlasted Hulkamania .

That to me is a personal insult LoL

 

[WillHayward]

Goodwin will fit in well in Sydney

That's a big step down for Ange....

Carlton should get him. Only to sack him after he wins a trophy in a less important comp like AFLX, because they finished 4th last on the AFL table.

This is going to go down as one of the worst coach sackings in the history of the AFL.

2007-2016 Melbourne did not play finals.

In 9 years in an 18 team competition, Goodwin made finals 4 times, top 4 three times and won a flag.

And hasn't won a final since that flag and seemed incapable of getting things back on track. Was time to go.

Good on him for winning a flag. Great effort.

But he was cooked.

They need to move on

Free to make permanent peace with Uncle Charlie

It's a fair point. I can't recall who it was, but when a coach was sacked in recent years, he didn't attend the presser.

Ross , at freo

 

[Shanghaistu]

Are Melbourne the worst Run club in the league?

Mate, it’s us and then daylight. Melbourne are waaaay back in the pack somewhere

 

[fnerd]

Pretty funny that the Dees sacked their premiership coach after an 82 point win while my beloved Port Adelaide still got "Daddy Donuts" at the reins after a season of multiple near-100 point drubbings.

Yeah hilarious

Absolute dumpster fire of a club the MFC

true, although he wasn't who I thought it was

 

[tiger_tough]

Praying he picks up another coaching job before ch7 think it's a good idea to give him a special comments gig. The most boring man in footy.

I give him 2 weeks before Ch 7 sacks him over some "crushed painkillers"

 

[LuckyBounce!]

Dees getting in before Carlton sack Voss so they can get Longmire

 

[fnerd]

As I said on the Dees board the other day, given his outstanding ability to tell obvious lies with the straightest of straight faces, old mate would make an epic used car salesman.

So there’s always that, if no footy jobs come up!

You could always tell when goodstuff Goodwin was lying…. It’s whenever his lips were moving

Oh please we didn't finish top 4 in 2022 or 2023. For me a real top 4 finish is making a preliminary final at minimum. That's something we failed to do in either of those two years.

Outside of the 2021 flag and a fun 2018 finals campaign Goodwin's tenure has been a massive disappointment for me. I'm happy to see the back of him.

Absolutely no one can convince me that 2022 and 2023 were successful seasons.
I went to all 4 MCG straight sets losses and it was just embarrassing

Goodie won using Norm Smiths gameplan absolute fraud of a coach give his medallion to Checker Hughes now!

He was succesful, with a ripping defence and heavyweight midfield. Pretty sure he's been sacked for off field behaviours, but why now?

If this is true then wind the club up. Flag coach gets no farewell game. Botched announcement.

Top four isn't top four? One flag in 50 years, and now you're demanding more, seems delusional.

Sacked for non football reasons. Great if unbalanced list, talented but troubled coach, the administration is a circus.

 

[Stumpy Pete]

Won a flag as has Fagan. Not sure why one is demonised while the other is lionised.

[demondavey]

lol Midweek Tackle has Albert Hird as a candidate

I’d rather get Goodwin

 

[iameviljez]

They need KPF's. Not easy to come by. To develop them will take years. To recruit a ready made is problematic.

Oh, and a decent game plan to take advantage I50 entries.

In an alternative universe where Jesse Hogan stays and Sam Weideman actually kicks on…
