Garry Lyon finds out on air and is shocked that he doesn't get to play footy administrator again by attaching himself to a lengthy review process at Melbourne. ☹️

Don't worry Gaz, I'm sure they'll let you be on the selection panel for the next coach.

Well who else are they going to get to look the prospective coach in the eyes and just “know”??

Good coach who did a poor job if that makes sense. His match sense and tactics are great, his man management however

Will make a A grade assistant elsewhere. I think clubs will be falling over themselves to make him a defensive coach

"Have we tried starting 18 players off the back of the square and have them charge in"

Big payout and lots of time till next potential gig (presumably next season in clubland or media).

I am a shallow person, but the thing that interests me most is the scale and nature of the bender Goody is about to embark upon.

Should be epic.
 
Interesting Melbourne still hasn't released a statement yet confirming the news.

The decision must have leaked out early from someone at the club or Goodwin's camp.

$1m is a fair chunk of soft cap, probably still trying to work with Goody on how many years they can pay it over. The tone of the presser depends on it.
 
There's been a few comments on the Dees board that are a bit over the top and classless imo.

Melbourne were going backwards and he had to go but Simon Goodwin has been the only Melbourne premiership winning coach of the last 61 years.

Someone wrote a post on the Dees board saying go and get effed Goodwin. Sure Paul Roos did a lot of the groundwork and laid the foundations for that premiership success, and whilst i wouldn't want him as Carlton coach the man deserves a hell of a lot more respect than that imo.
 
no more weekly Goody segment on 360

more seriously though he had a good stint at Dees, should be proud of what he achieved. Had them contending in 4 seasons, better win-loss than Neale, Balme & Northey, still in the market for a second gig. The straight sets double in 2022-23 (all narrow margins) similar to Clarko in 2016 & 2018, probably meant he felt he had unfinished business and stubbornly stuck around. North, Carlton, Essendon & Saints in the next year or so should all consider him, and if he can bring a drought-breaker to any of those 4 (in addition to the Demons) he'll be in rarefied air. Imagine being an ambitious assistant now with the likes of Horse, Simmo, Ken, Bucks & Goody to potentially compete with.

Wtf is all this 'Should have been a Dynasty!' stuff?

They won a COVID flag with a forward line led by Ben Brown and Tom McDonald - hell of an achievement but that was never going to happen under normal circumstances.

The timing of this is bold bu Melbourne - they are in their 'Pre-Fall' and likely need to slash and burn where they can over the next couple of seasons. 3 years for a 'development coach' won't go astray.
‘Covid flag’

God that’s a cop out…
 
Still nothing official from MFC. Is the joint actually collapsing?

The drug stuff was horrible, not sure if the coach made the players problems worse or vice versa, but the board and the parent body (MCC) have to carry some blame here.

I think a cricket club running a football club is untenable, maybe the MCC knows this and is kicking up dust with a messy departure to cover their own arses.

Carlton and Essendon say hello!
Carlton were a chance for top 4 this year. A few things amiss but so they were at Coillingwood 2021.

Essendon has a civil war on the board.

Melbourne are a medium sized club in the biggest sport in Australia being run by a cricket social club.

The most successful Victorian clubs of the 21st century Geelong and Hawthorn are medium sized clubs as well ironically enough.
