1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Jason Lauren Clint is here as well. Let's talk the d's.

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: That music's a way to upliftening for the current situation.

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, unfortunately, there was a real inevitability about this situation.

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 3: And I say that with a heavy heart. This specific

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 3: situation or a change at the calm.

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 2: When things go wrong on the field at footy clubs,

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: it's almost always the coach.

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, who cops it right?

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 4: Do you think that's fair enough? Or the d's just

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 4: not playing well enough, the players not enough.

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: There's a bit of both. There's a bit of both.

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 2: But you're not going to sack your players, well, not

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: until trade.

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 4: Yeah no, I'm not just that. But is it is

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 4: it fair enough that the coach gets a black?

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 5: I mean.

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: Probably not, probably not, because there's only so much that

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: person can do right.

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 4: And sometimes coaches get the boot as well when they

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 4: say this cultural problems within the club or bigger issues.

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 3: Do you think that's ultimately?

22
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: I mean, they are paid a lot of money, and

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: in Simon Goodwin's case, he will be paid out a

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: lot of money. Not that that should justify the decision

25
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: or make it all the more palatable given what's gone down, But.

26
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 3: At the Melbourne Football clubs say that they need a

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: new voice.

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: You know, the message just wasn't getting through.

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 4: Are the players getting along? They needed a reset because

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 4: the coach is.

31
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: And the point was made yesterday after after Simon Goodwin

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: spoken we'll hear from him shortly. But the point was

33
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: made by so many people who watched that media conference

34
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: that rarely have they seen a media conference with a

35
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: sacked coach where that coach was loved or beloved by

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: almost everyone in the room.

37
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: Right were any players present?

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: They were all present, every single which says something. It

39
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: says a lot. Every staff member was present. So here's

40
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: the thing.

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: You've got the figurehead of your footy club who is

42
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: beloved by almost everyone.

43
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: But it came down.

44
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: To the fact that that footy club needed a hard

45
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: reset and this is the only option they really had.

46
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: Oh.

47
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 5: Look, I was disappointed, is no doubt about that. But

48
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 5: I'm disappointed because I think we're a hell of a

49
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 5: lot closer to turning a club and team back into

50
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 5: a contender again than what people think. And I'm disappointed

51
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 5: that I'm not able to work with this great bunch

52
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 5: of players that I know that we've developed and spent

53
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 5: a lot of time developing over time, and I'm just

54
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 5: pointing I'm not going to be a part of that.

55
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 5: But ultimately that's the boys decision.

56
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: If you want to weigh in, thirteen twenty fourteen is

57
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: our number, I'm going to call it. I think it's

58
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: an absolute cop out.

59
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 3: Now.

60
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: I know I'm you to the game and a new fan,

61
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: but hearing the history of your club yesterday and what

62
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: first time he took that club to a premiership.

63
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: For seven years was seven years?

64
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 2: He's also the only living premiership coach and a couple

65
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: of years ago ball club to.

66
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: The Demons fans, he was your god and now he

67
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: is the scapegoat.

68
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: So but also there's change coming to the D's anyway, right, Yes,

69
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 4: Like we love Brad Green, friend of our show, actual

70
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: personal friend of ours as well. He's hand on the

71
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 4: batten to a new president. There's no CEO currently, so

72
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 4: I assume that they will be looking for a ce

73
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 4: So there is all of that change coming anyway. Was

74
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 4: it necessary to also change the coach?

75
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 2: Look, I hate to see it happen. Yeah, but I

76
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: feel as though it's a it's a reset the footy club.

77
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: Don't you think.

78
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: Didn't want it. Did the fans want it? I don't know.

79
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: I think I think if you ask most Melbourne fans

80
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 2: that would say that it's time, it's time.

81
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I.

82
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: Always need to step up, mate. They're the ones that

83
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: are around on the field. They're the ones that have

84
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: caused and are not specific get me wrong.

85
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: At the end of the season, I think there will

86
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: be everyone is under the microscope, don't get me wrong.

87
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not singling him out and I love Track,

88
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: but all the commotion he caused wanting to leave the

89
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: club a year or so ago, that became a cancer

90
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: in a team.

91
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 3: Just like any workplace.

92
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: If you've got someone in your workplace saying I want

93
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: to get out of here, I don't want to work here.

94
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: That trickles through a club.

95
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: But I think they've sorted that out, I know.

96
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is like, yes, they've sorted that out,

97
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: but all that shit's going on as well, that's gonna,

98
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, play on how they perform this year.

99
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 4: Does he get like a farewell game or that's it?

100
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: Well, no, So they offered for him to coach this

101
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 3: week the last.

102
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: Three rounds of the season, and he declined politely declined.

103
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: So he's he's done now, I wouldn't come back up.

104
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 3: They shake hands and do you.

105
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 4: Think they should have waited till the end of the

106
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: season though, if it's not going to change anything.

107
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: Brad Green's point yesterday, when asked exactly the question, was well,

108
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: we've made a decision out of respect.

109
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: We owe it to him to tell him where he sits.

110
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 3: We want to, which I like, that's a good call

111
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: from the manager. You're gonna be honest.

112
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: But look, if I can for one second to say

113
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: and take my media hat off and put my Melbourne

114
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: hat on as a Melbourne supporter, I would actually say,

115
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: I you know, we owe him a lot. You know,

116
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: he he steered the football club out of the doldrums

117
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: to a Grand final, to a premiership that made my

118
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: dad's day. Seeing my dad's face in the in the

119
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: minutes after that premiership.

120
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 4: Win, it made your day to it made my day from.

121
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 3: It from a distance.

122
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 2: So so if I can say thank you, you know,

123
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 2: and he's he's such a he's such a fantastic man,

124
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: Simon Goodwin.

125
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: I think that's great that you're honoring him, and rightfully so.

126
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: But I think you fans need to I don't know.

127
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: I just I think everyone just needs to look inwards.

128
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: Things must come to it end too, and sometimes it's like, okay, I.

129
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: Don't think he's the problem.

130
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: If you've got the whole team and all the stuff

131
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: there in the room yesterday backing him, he is not

132
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: the problem.

133
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: He is the fore And look, I hate to put

134
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: it in simple terms, but it's sport. Well, it happens,

135
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 2: and ultimately they get paid a lot of money to

136
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: do what they do, knowing full well that it could

137
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 2: end like this.

138
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: It's so to the sixteen how many on the field.

139
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 4: You're the footy guns, new to it.

140
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: So to the players, mate, you're the ones that need

141
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: to perform.

142
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: I get that. But it's not the first time it's happened.

143
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: It won't be the last time, you know, there could be.

144
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: And here's the thing Melbourne got in now, it could

145
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: be Carton's turn in a couple of weeks.

146
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: Just quickly, here's your money on for a new coach.

147
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: Any name's been thrown around.

148
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 2: I think they will go for an experience type, whether

149
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: they want the job or not. But maybe at John Longmire,

150
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: former Sydney premiership.

151
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,560
