1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Simon Goodwin. It's the big news yesterday morning. We went

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: to wear with it. Just at the end of the

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: show he is out of there, go on as.

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 2: The coach of the Melbourne Football Club.

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 3: I was disappointed, He's no doubt about that. But I'm

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 3: disappointed because I think we're a hell of a lot

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 3: closer to turning a club and team back into a

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 3: contender again than what people think. And I'm disappointed that

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 3: I'm not able to work with this great bunch of

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: players that I know that we've developed and spent a

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 3: lot of time developing over time, and I'm just going

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: I'm not going to be a part of that. But

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 3: ultimately that's the boys decision.

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 4: That was a really proud and at times emotional Simon

15
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 4: Goodwin speaking at his media conference alongside Brad Green, the

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 4: president of the footy club yesterday. Former D's captain legend

17
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 4: of the club, David Neats joins us for his reaction.

18
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 2: Need a good morning, good morning.

19
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 5: Good morning Clinton mate. Obviously a massive day yesterday with

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 5: the announcements of Simon so but gee, what an amazing

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,279
Speaker 5: effort that he's actually contributed he's made at the Melbourne

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 5: Footy Club. You know, my generation and many generations couldn't

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 5: get the job done, and he and his boys done

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty one, which is just enormous. So because

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 5: there's a.

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 6: Huge amount of respect, were you surprised by his sacking Nada.

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 5: I don't know whether I was absolutely gump smack by it.

28
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 5: I think that they were in order to chatter around

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 5: through Melbourne supporters and whatnot, just about the with the

30
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 5: list and the inability to sort of make it in

31
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 5: the finals. There's a bit of chatter around. But so

32
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 5: it wasn't wasn't totally surprised. What would you have I

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 5: have done that? I'm not sure, but well I suppose

34
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 5: I guess there are arguments for keeping Simon around. I

35
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 5: thought probably after round five this year our we changed

36
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 5: the way we started to play a little bit and

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 5: moved the ball bit cricket through the middle of the ground,

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 5: so that could be an indication of keeping him. But

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 5: then obviously when you look at the win loss as

40
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 5: the performance sort of game, in the end you have

41
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 5: the win loss sort of shows it down with tread

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 5: so you can understand as a good emergency for success.

43
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: So Dave Klink got quite emotional earlier this morning, just

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: thanking him on behalf of being a fan of getting

45
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: them a premiership. As a former player, obviously you would

46
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: have felt very similar.

47
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: But do you think the buck stops with the players.

48
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 5: I think there's always a combination of things and when

49
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 5: things don't go well with a footy club, and I

50
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 5: think I think everyone has to probably have a bit

51
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 5: of introspection about it, including you know, the board, the

52
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 5: way they go about about things out the past few years.

53
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 5: Simon will be doing that, I'm sure, and also some

54
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 5: of the players. So it's a whole club scenario.

55
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: I just feel the coach always seems to be the

56
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: for guy.

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Nita, you were speaking to that. You were I

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: think you were captain when Neil Danaher was given the

59
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 4: boot in his time. Well, paint a picture for us.

60
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 4: How would those players be feeling today. What's it like

61
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: being a player when your coach is given the flick?

62
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really I was really flat and really low.

63
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 5: I sort of reflect on Max a little bit because

64
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 5: he's obviously at that stage. I was with Neil for

65
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 5: probably eight years as captain and courchain probably a similar

66
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 5: thing with Max, and you just go through the journey,

67
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 5: You go through a lot, you understand what you try

68
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 5: to shive towards, and then that's that gets taken away

69
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 5: from you and it's it's a really flattening process. And

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 5: I guess at the time with Neil, we knew there

71
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 5: was there was he there was pressure on Neil. It's

72
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 5: always disappointing when when it wasn't appointing when he got

73
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 5: the flick, I was upset and angry, and I expect

74
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 5: probably Max's really similar things.

75
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, moving forward and looking forward, Dave needs,

76
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 6: who would you like to see coaching the Mighty Demons?

77
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: Any chance of you're getting out behind the bar and

78
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: getting down.

79
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 5: There's no behind the bar. There'd be a horrible story.

80
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 5: But now I look as body of candidates, John Longmyer,

81
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 5: Nathan Buckley, Kenny Hickleys available to come on.

82
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 6: Seeing butts in the Red and Blue feels like.

83
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 4: We agitate the Magpie fans.

84
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 5: Probably if you were Calvin coaches still going around the worst.

85
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 5: But yeah, look, yeah, someone like him will be fantastic,

86
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 5: I'm sure. And and there's you know, there's always good

87
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 5: up and coming coaching talent around. So as long as

88
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 5: the club goes through a process and get that Royal shore. Brad.

89
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 5: You know, Brad Green as the president's got a lot

90
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 5: of care and Steve Smith coming in as a new president,

91
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 5: got a care and a lot of care about the club.

92
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: So money talks as well.

93
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 6: Guys, I'd love to see Nathan Buckley coaching Melbourne fans.

94
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: Just one last week and you mentioned Brad Green. He's

95
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: one of our mates here on the show as well

96
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: and a personal friend of Lauren and myself. I mean,

97
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 4: he carried himself really well yesterday, but he did mention

98
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 4: that the club needs a fresh voice, a new voice

99
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: going forward. I mean, is this a change Melbourne needs?

100
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 5: Nader? Oh look I can see that's been nine years

101
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 5: and the performances sort of going in and downward trend.

102
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 5: So so yeah, I can certainly see that. But look,

103
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 5: as I say, Brad, I think he's done a really

104
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 5: good job. His communication with the fans and the supporters

105
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 5: has been but Zepplary and I know his heart's in

106
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 5: the right place. So he would not have done made

107
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 5: the move lightly. He would have considered it thoroughly and

108
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 5: obviously he and the board believe that's the right way

109
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 5: to go.

110
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: Well, look, David Nates, Johnny us their former day's legend.

111
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 6: A great part. He's still serving those amazing, those amazing

Speaker 5: a coffin cold going around.

Speaker 4: It's going to say, it's more a sexy voice that.

119
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: Did you need me to come and take take the management

120
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: shift for you? So you have a lie down.

121
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 6: No, don't let face work there.

122
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,040
