WEBVTT - Bonus: Former Demons Captain David Neitz On Simon Goodwin

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Simon Goodwin. It's the big news yesterday morning. We went

0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>to wear with it. Just at the end of the

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>show he is out of there, go on as.

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:10.399
<v Speaker 2>The coach of the Melbourne Football Club.

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I was disappointed, He's no doubt about that. But I'm

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:17.560
<v Speaker 3>disappointed because I think we're a hell of a lot

0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 3>closer to turning a club and team back into a

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.319
<v Speaker 3>contender again than what people think. And I'm disappointed that

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:28.479
<v Speaker 3>I'm not able to work with this great bunch of

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 3>players that I know that we've developed and spent a

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 3>lot of time developing over time, and I'm just going

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to be a part of that. But

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 3>ultimately that's the boys decision.

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 4>That was a really proud and at times emotional Simon

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 4>Goodwin speaking at his media conference alongside Brad Green, the

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:50.160
<v Speaker 4>president of the footy club yesterday. Former D's captain legend

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 4>of the club, David Neats joins us for his reaction.

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Need a good morning, good morning.

0:00:54.480 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 5>Good morning Clinton mate. Obviously a massive day yesterday with

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.399
<v Speaker 5>the announcements of Simon so but gee, what an amazing

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.279
<v Speaker 5>effort that he's actually contributed he's made at the Melbourne

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:14.479
<v Speaker 5>Footy Club. You know, my generation and many generations couldn't

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 5>get the job done, and he and his boys done

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 5>in twenty twenty one, which is just enormous. So because

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 5>there's a.

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:26.559
<v Speaker 6>Huge amount of respect, were you surprised by his sacking Nada.

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 5>I don't know whether I was absolutely gump smack by it.

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 5>I think that they were in order to chatter around

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 5>through Melbourne supporters and whatnot, just about the with the

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 5>list and the inability to sort of make it in

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 5>the finals. There's a bit of chatter around. But so

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 5>it wasn't wasn't totally surprised. What would you have I

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 5>have done that? I'm not sure, but well I suppose

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 5>I guess there are arguments for keeping Simon around. I

0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 5>thought probably after round five this year our we changed

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 5>the way we started to play a little bit and

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 5>moved the ball bit cricket through the middle of the ground,

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 5>so that could be an indication of keeping him. But

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 5>then obviously when you look at the win loss as

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 5>the performance sort of game, in the end you have

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 5>the win loss sort of shows it down with tread

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 5>so you can understand as a good emergency for success.

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>So Dave Klink got quite emotional earlier this morning, just

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 1>thanking him on behalf of being a fan of getting

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>them a premiership. As a former player, obviously you would

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>have felt very similar.

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 2>But do you think the buck stops with the players.

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.239
<v Speaker 5>I think there's always a combination of things and when

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 5>things don't go well with a footy club, and I

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 5>think I think everyone has to probably have a bit

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 5>of introspection about it, including you know, the board, the

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 5>way they go about about things out the past few years.

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 5>Simon will be doing that, I'm sure, and also some

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 5>of the players. So it's a whole club scenario.

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 2>I just feel the coach always seems to be the

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 2>for guy.

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Nita, you were speaking to that. You were I

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 4>think you were captain when Neil Danaher was given the

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 4>boot in his time. Well, paint a picture for us.

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 4>How would those players be feeling today. What's it like

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 4>being a player when your coach is given the flick?

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's really I was really flat and really low.

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 5>I sort of reflect on Max a little bit because

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 5>he's obviously at that stage. I was with Neil for

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 5>probably eight years as captain and courchain probably a similar

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 5>thing with Max, and you just go through the journey,

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 5>You go through a lot, you understand what you try

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 5>to shive towards, and then that's that gets taken away

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 5>from you and it's it's a really flattening process. And

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 5>I guess at the time with Neil, we knew there

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 5>was there was he there was pressure on Neil. It's

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 5>always disappointing when when it wasn't appointing when he got

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 5>the flick, I was upset and angry, and I expect

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 5>probably Max's really similar things.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, all right, moving forward and looking forward, Dave needs,

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 6>who would you like to see coaching the Mighty Demons?

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Any chance of you're getting out behind the bar and

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>getting down.

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 5>There's no behind the bar. There'd be a horrible story.

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 5>But now I look as body of candidates, John Longmyer,

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.840
<v Speaker 5>Nathan Buckley, Kenny Hickleys available to come on.

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 6>Seeing butts in the Red and Blue feels like.

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:24.920
<v Speaker 4>We agitate the Magpie fans.

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 5>Probably if you were Calvin coaches still going around the worst.

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:35.279
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, look, yeah, someone like him will be fantastic,

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure. And and there's you know, there's always good

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 5>up and coming coaching talent around. So as long as

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.840
<v Speaker 5>the club goes through a process and get that Royal shore. Brad.

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 5>You know, Brad Green as the president's got a lot

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 5>of care and Steve Smith coming in as a new president,

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 5>got a care and a lot of care about the club.

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 2>So money talks as well.

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 6>Guys, I'd love to see Nathan Buckley coaching Melbourne fans.

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 4>Just one last week and you mentioned Brad Green. He's

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 4>one of our mates here on the show as well

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 4>and a personal friend of Lauren and myself. I mean,

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 4>he carried himself really well yesterday, but he did mention

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 4>that the club needs a fresh voice, a new voice

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 4>going forward. I mean, is this a change Melbourne needs?

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 5>Nader? Oh look I can see that's been nine years

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 5>and the performances sort of going in and downward trend.

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 5>So so yeah, I can certainly see that. But look,

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 5>as I say, Brad, I think he's done a really

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 5>good job. His communication with the fans and the supporters

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.839
<v Speaker 5>has been but Zepplary and I know his heart's in

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 5>the right place. So he would not have done made

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 5>the move lightly. He would have considered it thoroughly and

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.279
<v Speaker 5>obviously he and the board believe that's the right way

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 5>to go.

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, look, David Nates, Johnny us their former day's legend.

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 6>A great part. He's still serving those amazing, those amazing

<v Speaker 5>Very rasty this morning. I've just got a bit of

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 5>a coffin cold going around.

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 4>It's going to say, it's more a sexy voice that.

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Did you need me to come and take take the management

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>shift for you? So you have a lie down.

<v Speaker 6>to play now mixed netball team and then he got

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 6>vertigo and he keeps pulling over to get him out

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:38.719
<v Speaker 6>of all attack.
