Speaker 1: This is number one hundred. You are on the air
Speaker 1: with Jas and Lauren and we got dramas of the Melbourne.
Speaker 2: Football news just out.
Speaker 3: Simon god Goodwin, the coach of Melbourne, has been sacked
Speaker 3: premiership coach coach the D's.
Speaker 2: To a breakthrough flag in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3: This has been reported by nine's chief footy reporter Tom
Speaker 3: Morris this morning. He was told last night of the
Speaker 3: decision of the Melbourne Footy Club board.
Speaker 4: Oh, he was told last night and.
Speaker 3: Players will be told in a meeting at nine o'clock.
Speaker 3: So it gets underway very shortly.
Speaker 4: We're probably on their cars on the way and listening
Speaker 4: to you tell the boy.
Speaker 1: Which is crazy that it unfolds like that.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: If you seems quickly, but if there's three games to go,
Speaker 5: why wouldn't you.
Speaker 3: Just I dare say it's probably because they want to
Speaker 3: move on the next coach, right.
Speaker 2: That's just me theorizing.
Speaker 4: There are rumors about this for a while.
Speaker 3: There has been There was a board meeting just a
Speaker 3: week ago, Monday week ago whereby the board got together
Speaker 3: and I believe Simon Goodwin actually he presented to the
Speaker 3: board probably spelling out exactly why he should keep his job.
Speaker 3: But ultimately this year has been a bit of a
Speaker 3: disaster for the footy club. It's probably been a bit
Speaker 3: of a disaster since they won the flag back in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty of.
Speaker 4: A Melbourne footy club. Fans of Simon Goodwood.
Speaker 2: Well, I did well. Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: I mean, I will forever thank him for helping steer
Speaker 3: the footy club to a premiership, the first one in
Speaker 3: fifty six years. That was an extraordinary feat. And quite
Speaker 3: often when you win a premiership it means that you
Speaker 3: it sort of almost prolongs your time.
Speaker 5: Because yeah, yeah, yeah, you get a grace period thirteen
Speaker 5: twenty four to ten if you're a d S fan
Speaker 5: and you want to weigh in on this.
Speaker 4: So he's three games to go. So is there any rumor.
Speaker 5: Or talk about I met someone this weekend.
Speaker 3: There's coaches out there that are probably gett able right now.
Speaker 3: Adam Adam Simpson who coached the Eagles to a premiership,
Speaker 3: John Longmi, who coached the Swans to a premiership. He
Speaker 3: obviously has just come out of out of work in
Speaker 3: senior coaching with the Swans. Who else, Nathan Buckley would
Speaker 3: he potentially consider going back to coaching after bucks at
Speaker 3: the d well. I mean, I'm just spitbolling throwing out
Speaker 3: name Stanny.
Speaker 5: Is there anyone within Melbourne that would potentially move up
Speaker 5: the ranks?
Speaker 3: I mean, Nathan Jones is a former club captain, but
Speaker 3: he's still really serving his apprenticeship.
Speaker 1: What about your old man?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3: He'd be very good master tactician.
Speaker 1: How long's John been at the club.
Speaker 2: He's been there for twenty five years.
Speaker 5: I John Stanaway's got my vote, me too, and you
Speaker 5: know what, there's only three games to go.
Speaker 4: Just give him a give the ten man a go.
Speaker 1: I just find it, I don't know. I find it
Speaker 1: frustrating when it's like, okay, if we've sacked the coach
Speaker 1: last night, Like, let's be honest. The current world we
Speaker 1: live in. You know, the news is going to break
Speaker 1: before nine am this morning. It's going to leak somewhere.
Speaker 1: And if the players haven't been told and they're on
Speaker 1: the way to the club now to be told, I
Speaker 1: just think that's bad leadership.
Speaker 4: It's I mean, done this dance before somewhere?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I know here, I get that, But I mean, but
Speaker 1: when we got the as we got told we want
Speaker 1: to tell our team and we're absolutely not.
Speaker 5: That's it's a Surely the coach would have rung the
Speaker 5: captain in a few of his faves and make us Yeah.
Speaker 1: You bet he would have thirteen twenty four ten. If
Speaker 1: you're to join us on the air, Adam is called
Speaker 1: through Adam You're a D's fan.
Speaker 6: Massive D's fan and massively disappointed, but understanding at the
Speaker 6: same time, as Clint said, things haven't been the same
Speaker 6: sort of since they won the flag.
Speaker 4: So do you think this is the right call?
Speaker 6: Look, I'm a little bit torn because I love Simon
Speaker 6: for what he did for the club and what he's
Speaker 6: been able to achieve.
Speaker 5: But at the.
Speaker 6: Same time, maybe fresh eyes on the list that they've
Speaker 6: got will we'll get them where they need to be.
Speaker 3: I think the board was saying out of their meeting
Speaker 3: last Monday that significant change he's on the way and
Speaker 3: and this is obviously a significant change they thought they
Speaker 3: needed in both a footy cents and a marketing sense
Speaker 3: as well, because you can't have a team that he's
Speaker 3: languishing towards the bottom bottom echelon of the ladder.
Speaker 5: There seems to have been a lot of term oil
Speaker 5: at Melbourne. Right, so you've got you start play a
Speaker 5: Christian Petrarca.
Speaker 2: Who wanted out.
Speaker 4: Twelve months ago.
Speaker 5: You didn't have a president. You've got an interim president,
Speaker 5: Braggreen who's done a great job. We love Greenie. No Ceo,
Speaker 5: there's no ceo now they've sacked the coach. It's is
Speaker 5: it a bit of a dog's breakfast?
Speaker 2: A bit of a dog's breakfast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe you're final and I think there might there
Speaker 3: might even be players, senior players who are saying, I
Speaker 3: want out unless unless we get we get changed, and
Speaker 3: that that maybe the conversation that's been had.
Speaker 1: Let's go to morning to and Clay, you're a d
Speaker 1: S fan.
Speaker 7: These my top two teams, so you can kind of
Speaker 7: go yes or no. So my opinion is if you
Speaker 7: look at it in the past, when a new coaches
Speaker 7: come in or a coach is leaving, there's a real
Speaker 7: spark in the sight. And you look at who Melbourne
Speaker 7: got their run home. They played these I mean they
Speaker 7: played Collingwood in the last round of in the season
Speaker 7: and they could really ruin their season. And the top four,
Speaker 7: which I am a huge.
Speaker 1: Advocate for, we go spoken by a true D supporter.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so that's what I reckon. I reckon it's good.
Speaker 2: For which all the season.
Speaker 5: What about if Nathan Buckley came in to coach the
Speaker 5: Deason and they had to play for.
Speaker 2: There is something to be said for teams winning, battling
Speaker 2: teams winning in the week that they sacked their coach.
Speaker 2: Melbourne have the Western Bulldogs on Sunday afternoon. The mc.
Speaker 3: Story is a lot bigger than that, though. The story
Speaker 3: is about who next coaches Melbourne beyond this year.
Speaker 4: Well, there you go.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 3: I will be forever thankful that he helped get my
Speaker 3: club a premiership.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I never thought i'd see one in my time.
Speaker 4: So do you think it's the right call the wrong cale.
Speaker 2: I think it's probably a good call.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Lauren wake up feeling good following them on the socials.
