In a surprising turn of events, Simon Goodwin, head coach of the Melbourne Demons, has been suspended following the team’s defeat to Collingwood on Friday. The ban comes as a result of controversial comments made by Goodwin during his post-match press conference.
Sources indicate that Goodwin’s remarks were deemed to be in violation of the league’s code of conduct, leading to an immediate suspension. The exact nature of the comments has not been disclosed, but they were reportedly related to the officiating and sportsmanship aspects of the game.
Goodwin’s absence will be felt as the Demons prepare for their next fixtures. The league has yet to specify the duration of the suspension or any additional penalties.
