'''Simon Goodwin''' (born 26 December 1976) is an [[Australian rules football]] coach and former player. He has been the senior coach of the [[Melbourne Football Club]] of the [[Australian Football League]] (AFL) since 2017.

As a player, Goodwin tallied 275 AFL games, all as a midfielder for the [[Adelaide Football Club]] between 1996 and 2010. He won two premierships with the Crows in [[1997 AFL Grand Final|1997]] and [[1998 AFL Grand Final|1998]], was a five-time [[All-Australian team|All-Australian]], and captained Adelaide for his final three seasons. As coach of Melbourne, Goodwin led the Demons back into the finals in 2018, and in [[2021 AFL Grand Final|2021]] coached Melbourne to its first premiership victory in 57 years.<ref name="afl_com_au">{{Cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/680328/it-s-a-grand-new-flag-demons-finally-exorcise-57-years-of-pain|title=It's a grand NEW flag: Demons finally exorcise 57 years of pain|last=Twomey|first=Callum|website=AFL.com.au|date=25 September 2021|access-date=25 September 2021}}</ref> 

Goodwin was inducted into the [[Australian Football Hall of Fame]] as a player in 2017.<ref name="SG"/><ref name="bio">{{AustralianFootball|ref=simon%2Bgoodwin/13688}}</ref>

==Playing career==
===Adelaide Crows===
====Early career (1996–1999)====
Prior to embarking on his AFL career, Goodwin was an accomplished junior cricketer, co-captaining the South Australian Under-19 cricket team. Recruited from [[South Adelaide Football Club|South Adelaide]] in the [[SANFL]] with pick No. 18 in the 1996 Pre-season Draft, Goodwin made his debut for [[Adelaide Crows]] in [[1997 AFL season|Round 1, 1997]], however, his game was marred by a severe quadriceps injury which kept him out for months.<ref name="crowshistory_afc_com_au">{{cite web|url=https://crowshistory.afc.com.au/afl-players/simon-goodwin|title=Simon Goodwin|date=22 March 2019 |access-date=2 May 2022}}</ref><ref name="australianfootball_com">{{cite web|url=https://australianfootball.com/players/player/Simon%2BGoodwin/13688|title=SIMON GOODWIN|access-date=2 May 2022}}</ref>

Goodwin returned to the side in Round 14 to face West Coast, holding his position until he was omitted following the Round 18 victory over Carlton at [[Football Park]]. Goodwin earned a recall prior to the beginning of the 1997 finals series, returning solid performances in all four of Adelaide's wins, including 19 possessions and a goal in the victorious [[1997 AFL Grand Final|1997 Grand Final]].<ref name="crowshistory_afc_com_au" /><ref name="australianfootball_com" />

After a poor start to 1998, Goodwin blossomed in the second half of the season, showing glimpses of the prolific ball-winner he would become in later years and once again playing a solid role in all four finals on the way to Adelaide's second [[List of VFL/AFL premiers|premiership]] win in the [[1998 AFL Grand Final|1998 Grand Final]].<ref name="crowshistory_afc_com_au" /><ref name="australianfootball_com" />

The 1999 season was to be one of disappointment, however, as Goodwin's performances mirrored that of his club. Despite featuring in 19 of Adelaide's 22 games, Goodwin's progress was marred by inconsistency as Adelaide finished a lowly 13th in what was, at the time, the club's worst-ever finish to a season.<ref name="crowshistory_afc_com_au" /><ref name="australianfootball_com" />

====Rising career (2000–2004)====
Following his disappointing 1999, Goodwin emerged as a star in his own right in the 2000 season with a string of assured midfield displays earning both his first All-Australian guernsey and Gold Jacket as Adelaide Club Champion. Goodwin capped this watershed year with selection to the [[Adelaide Football Club#"Team of the Decade"|Adelaide Football Club Team of the Decade]].<ref name="crowshistory_afc_com_au" /><ref name="australianfootball_com" />

Another All-Australian selection followed in 2001 with consistently good performances alongside fellow star midfielders [[Mark Ricciuto]], [[Andrew McLeod]] and [[Tyson Edwards (footballer)|Tyson Edwards]] pushing Adelaide back into premiership reckoning for 2002 after three seasons where the club had finished no higher than eighth.<ref name="crowshistory_afc_com_au" /><ref name="australianfootball_com" />

In 2002 Goodwin struggled for consistency, in part due to the extra attention he was receiving from opposition taggers. Highly prolific games such as his 39 possession/1 goal game against Collingwood in Round 14 were contrasted by his 17 possession game against [[Fremantle Football Club|Fremantle]] in Round 7. After suffering an injury in Round 19 against Essendon, Goodwin returned to the team in time for the finals, where despite high expectations the Crows were defeated in a preliminary final.<ref name="crowshistory_afc_com_au" /><ref name="australianfootball_com" />

A member of Adelaide's pre-season premiership-winning team, Goodwin's highly promising 2003 was marred by a broken arm suffered early in the Round 11 clash with [[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]] at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground|MCG]] when he collided with the boundary fence following a contest. Upon his return to the side in Round 17 Goodwin looked to be far from his best, able only to provide a series of steady displays as the Crows, despite being one of the hot premiership favourites, were knocked out in a semi-final.<ref name="crowshistory_afc_com_au" /><ref name="australianfootball_com" />

As with 1999, Goodwin endured another horror year to mirror that of Adelaide's in 2004. Sidelined with an [[Adductor muscles of the hip|adductor]] injury between Rounds 4 and 16, by the time Goodwin returned [[Gary Ayres]] had resigned and been replaced by [[Neil Craig]] as the Crows languished near the lower end of the ladder. To further rub salt into the wound Goodwin was cited for tripping [[Roger James (footballer)|Roger James]] and suspended for one week in Adelaide's 25-point loss to eventual premiers [[Port Adelaide Football Club|Port Adelaide]] in Round 22.<ref name="crowshistory_afc_com_au" /><ref name="australianfootball_com" />

====Career high (2005–2007)====
[[File:Simon goodwin.jpg|thumb|Goodwin playing with {{AFL Ade}} in 2006]]
Goodwin and Adelaide's fortunes turned around completely in 2005 as the side unexpectedly won the minor premiership despite being tipped by many for the wooden spoon.{{citation needed|date=September 2018}} Individually Goodwin capped a superb return to top form, winning his third All-Australian guernsey and capturing his second club champion award. His stellar form continued in 2006, first winning the [[Michael Tuck Medal]] for best afield in Adelaide's pre-season grand final loss to [[Geelong Football Club|Geelong]] (the only player to do so in a loss), before again performing brilliantly in the season proper, winning his fourth All-Australian selection and third Gold Jacket.<ref name="crowshistory_afc_com_au" /><ref name="australianfootball_com" />

====Captaincy (2008–2010)====
In early December 2007, Goodwin was named the captain for Adelaide for the 2008 football season. This coincided with a move into the forward line to allow the club's young midfielders to gain experience and bolster a struggling attack. The move paid dividends with Goodwin enjoying a career-best seven-goal haul in Adelaide's crushing Round 2 victory over the [[West Coast Eagles]]. In later matches, Goodwin was rotated between the forward and back half, increasingly the latter in order to allow young forwards to stake their claims for a permanent spot.<ref name="crowshistory_afc_com_au" /><ref name="australianfootball_com" />

In Round 15, 2009, Goodwin played his 250th game. The Adelaide Crows celebrated by defeating Fremantle by 117 points, 19.16 (130) to 1.7 (13), shattering a number of records in doing so.<ref name="crowshistory_afc_com_au" /><ref name="australianfootball_com" />

====Retirement====
On 25 May 2010, Goodwin announced he would retire at the conclusion of the 2010 AFL season.<ref>[https://archive.today/20120716034029/http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/05/25/2908939.htm Goodwin announces AFL retirement]</ref><ref name="crowshistory_afc_com_au" /><ref name="australianfootball_com" />

==International rules==
Goodwin served as the [[Australia international rules football team]]'s goalkeeper for the [[2004 International Rules Series]].

==Coaching career==
===Essendon Football Club===
On 30 September 2010, Goodwin announced his appointment as assistant coach at [[Essendon Football Club]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/762530/goodwin-joins-coaching-panel|title=Goodwin joins coaching panel|date=30 September 2010|access-date=2 May 2022}}</ref> On 27 August 2013, it was announced that Goodwin would take over as Essendon's caretaker senior coach for the final round of the 2013 season, following the 12-month suspension handed to [[James Hird]] as a result of the [[Essendon Football Club supplements saga|Essendon supplements saga]]. In his only game at the helm, Essendon lost to [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond]] by 39 points.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/goodwin-offers-himself-for-bombers-afl-job-20130830-2svyp.html|title=Goodwin offers himself for Bombers AFL job|date=30 August 2013|access-date=2 May 2022}}</ref> 

On 10 October 2013, Goodwin was promoted to the role of senior assistant coach for the 2014 season, following [[Mark Thompson (footballer)|Mark Thompson]]'s appointment as interim senior coach for the period of Hird's suspension.<ref name="SG">[http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/mark-thompson-set-be-named-as-essendon-coach-with-neil-craig-a-possible-sidekick/story-fni5f6kv-1226735678783 "Mark Thompson named Essendon coach as Bombers confirm James Hird won't return to top job in 2014"], ''Herald Sun'', 10 October 2013.

Retrieved 10 October 2013.</ref>

===Melbourne Football Club===
On 18 September 2014, Goodwin signed a five-year contract with the [[Melbourne Football Club]]. He served for two years as an assistant coach under senior coach [[Paul Roos (Australian rules footballer)|Paul Roos]] before taking over as senior coach for three years from [[2017 AFL season|2017]] in a succession plan.<ref>[http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-09-18/goodwin-joins-the-demons Succession plan complete as Goodwin gets five-year deal with Dees], AFL.com.au official website, 18 September 2014</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/sep/18/melbourne-appoint-simon-goodwin-as-paul-roos-likely-successor|title=Melbourne appoint Simon Goodwin as Paul Roos' successor|newspaper=The Guardian |date=17 September 2014|access-date=2 May 2022|last1=Lutz |first1=Tom }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-18/demons-appoint-goodwin-to-coaching-panel/5753060|title=Simon Goodwin welcomed as Paul Roos's successor at Melbourne Demons|newspaper=ABC News |date=18 September 2014|access-date=2 May 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/simon-goodwin-to-coach-demons-despite-late-call-from-crows-20140918-10ixn9.html|title=Simon Goodwin to coach Demons, despite late call from Crows|date=18 September 2014|access-date=2 May 2022}}</ref> After a ninth-place finish in [[2017 AFL season|2017]], Goodwin led the club to its first finals series in twelve years in [[2018 AFL season|2018]]. Melbourne reached the preliminary final, where they lost to eventual premiers [[West Coast Eagles|West Coast]] by sixty-six points at [[Perth Stadium|Optus Stadium]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/teams/melbourne-demons/simon-goodwins-journey-from-rock-bottom-to-demons-mentor/news-story/b4d455a8103f958f13647ea058d3ec0b|title=Simon Goodwin's journey from 'rock bottom' to Demons mentor|date=19 September 2018|access-date=2 May 2022}}</ref>

After falling to second-last in [[2019 AFL season|2019]] and narrowly missing out on the finals in the shortened [[2020 AFL season|2020]] season, Melbourne under Goodwin surged forward in [[2021 AFL season|2021]], winning their first nine games, their best unbeaten start to a season since [[1956 VFL season|1956]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/live-afl-2021-melbourne-demons-vs-carlton-blues-round-9-live-scores-updates-video-stream-stats-live-blog/news-story/f52f66d844984b0c32f104667e4b8305|title = Historic stat gives Dees fans confidence; gutsy effort from AFL's leading goalkicker: The 3–2–1|date = 16 May 2021}}</ref> and  never finished a round lower than fourth on the ladder. Melbourne won their first minor premiership since [[1964 VFL season|1964]] — then their most recent premiership season — and advanced to their first Grand Final since [[2000 AFL Grand Final|2000]], prior to which Goodwin was named [[AFL Coaches Association awards#Allan Jeans Senior Coach of the Year Award|AFLCA Coach of the Year]]. In the [[2021 AFL Grand Final]] against the [[Western Bulldogs]], Goodwin's Demons started well, but faltered in the second and early in the third quarter and trailed by as much as nineteen points. Melbourne then put together a massive turnaround, scoring the next twelve goals en route to a 74-point victory, claiming their [[List of VFL/AFL premiers|thirteenth flag]] and ending their 57-year premiership drought.<ref name="afl_com_au" /><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-26/afl-grand-final-was-won-melbourne-western-bulldogs/100492228|title=Where Melbourne Demons won the 2021 AFL Grand final over Western Bulldogs|newspaper=ABC News |date=25 September 2021|access-date=2 May 2022}}</ref>
