Coach Simon Goodwin

[Rustin Cohle]

 

[Mr.X]

Melbourne should have sacked him by now, it's crazy how he is just flying under the radar

whispers are there aren't a lot of prospective coaches keen on the position

they might be stuck with him for another season

 

[tiger_tough]

He's horrible and it seems like 99% of Dees fans can't stand him, yet all the players and admin seem to love him. Its all very coke can kenny areas.

Someone will take it. Low pressure for a while, still got decent cattle, will be rebuilding but at least going the right way.

 

[Mr.X]

They come out saying he has the full support of the board

And will likely be sacked on Wednesday

[Mr.X]

He's just got to go, Melbourne isn't this bad a team

Agree with pt 1, not so sure about the other

Melbourne have just bottomed out

 

[StillAtLarge]

But but but who's gonna get pissed up and have a punt with the players if they get rid of goody?

Thing is MFC will likely back Goodwin and stick with him till contract expires.

They’ve asked around and there’s no interest in the role

You were one day off.

 

[Veer Right]

Would be surprised if Alan Richardson is not booted as well.

Nice bloke no doubt but poison wherever he goes.

 

[Mr.X]

He may be a good fit as an anssistant alongside Yze at Richmond.

Spent time under Roos, and did a decent job with as part of their rebuild in the 2010’s

 

[RCAB]

He's worse than Beveridge.

Beveridge has won more finals, has also got his team to another grand final outside of his premiership year and in general play much better footy.

Nope

 

[demondavey]

Nope

Correct

Goodwin won a premiership, took Melbourne to a PF and 2x SF. Also 2x top 4 finishes after the H&A season.

Beverage has never made top 4 and was gifted a premiership with disastrous umpiring.

Disagree

Like I said in another post in this thread.
Bevo has won more finals, has also got his team to a Grandfinal outside of his flag year - something Goody didn't do and is the only premiership coach since 1981 to not get his team to another grand final.

Also where you finish in finals is the true finishing position, that's how it works in the draft as well. They finished 1st in 2016, 2nd in 2021 etc.

Finishing ninth this year is a disaster yes, but he legitimately has more runs on the board than Goody.

Kinda similar records altogether though, and personally I think Bevo is a pretty good coach, but after about 10 years things just get stale and they could consider moving him on.

Goodwin is better, and won a legitimate premiership with no umpiring assistance.

Helped us win a flag, so he certainly hasn't been poison for us. But agree that he needs to move on as part of our rebuild.
