Essendon has shut down Jordan Ridley's request for a move, paving the way for a strained few weeks before the trade period. @tommorris32 #9News





Nathan Buckley is firming to take the reins at Melbourne next season after the sacking of Simon Goodwin. #9News @trmorris32

If you back your knowledge of the sport - 🙋♂️ - on AFL historics: Michael Voss should stay at Carlton Simon Goodwin should leave Melbourne * Carlton this year are Geelong 2006, Richmond 2016 & Melbourne 2019. A talented but incomplete flawed team who after making finals, had a poor year against huge expectations. The clubs adjusted off field, tweaked on field, but the biggest & gutsiest call was to stick fat with their “non proven” coaches against massive media & fan pressures. * Melbourne this year are Brisbane 2007, Geelong 2010*, Collingwood 2021 & Richmond 2023. Geelong (*made finals but underperformed) & Collingwood freshened their core senior greats with fresh voices - Chris Scott & Craig McRae - Brisbane & Richmond didn’t and the team petered out at end of their eras. Melbourne inarguably have core senior greats, but the closest I can ever see to a “reheat the soup” success after two poor years for a long term coach was David Parkin Carlton 1999. They made a grand final - where non competitive v North - after upset of the century over Essendon 1999. That’s not disrespecting Simon Goodwin who’s an all time great of the club, but stating due to the historical challenges its best for both parties to split.
