has reportedly been sacked by Melbourne.

Tom Morris reported the news on Tuesday morning.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Ken Hinkley outlasted him

 

[Festerz]

Even winning a Premiership couldn't save him from being unceremoniously dumped before the end of his contract. (meanwhile at Port....)

 

[OniAu]

Feel happy for Dees fans & players. That guy was the definition of avoidance to his own shit show that he created.

 

[jannissary]

can finally get on the nose beers without persecution.

cya never, badloss

 

[chaosball32]

It was obviously coming but to do it after an 83 point win is certainly a choice.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Ahhh yes, another premiership coach sacked. But we should just be so thankful that we even made finals that were not allowed to pull the trigger and are unreasonable.

 

[Xtreme]

3 years too late

But better late than never

 

[Black Panther]

Sorrento Hotel is gonna be lit this weekend

 

[Daka]

I am surprised it took this long, pretty weird timing though after a big win.

He should have been sacked after the awful North loss earlier in the season or straight after the St Kilda come back.

Ken Hinkley outlasted him

Kenny has more lives than a Cat and we love him for it

 

[Mitchell Madness]

When he was busted hitting the nose beers with players, rather than trying to stop that culture, he should've been sacked

 

[The Nostradamus]

Crazy vossy outlasted him

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Didn’t he coach Melbourne’s only premiership in decades?

 

[StillAtLarge]

Premiership coach- that can never be taken away from him but really should've been given the flick after last year's shitshow.
Watching the dees repeat their same old failings week after week was so bloody frustrating. Definitely had the list to actually win a flag in front of their own fans...

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Well, if you got your mind made up and you got Longmire and Simpson sitting there waiting I'm not sure beating the Eagles by 80 points would make much of a difference

 

[JPetro83]

Ok, so who are the candidates to coach Melbourne in 2026 and beyond?
Do they go for a new coach? a current assistant coach at club? or do they go for a coach that has experience that has only been out of the coach's box for a short time?
Nathan Buckley
John Longmire

At least they didn't do what my mob did and wait another TWO MORE YEARS before giving our coach the flick

Demons went downhill after Goodwin went clean.

 

[JackFlash]

Inevitable. There must be more to this than the capitulation against the Saints? It looks like the Dees had made their mind up before that game and the huge rebound big win over West Coast?

 

[NetworkNerd]

New age Norm Smith curse?

 

[voorhees]

wow..not suprised
thought he would walk himself out at years end...

 

[bzparkes]

They said if West Coast won, Goodwin would be sacked on Monday.

Nice of Melbourne to give him an extra day for smashing us.

 

[Carn The Berries]

Gives me hope that we might beat the Bulldogs this week
