Goodwin's Law?

[ILLDieADemon 804]

Many have said things and if they don't happen or aren't true they will never post again. Never have stayed true to their word.

Range Rover (to his credit) did leave, he kinda even threw his own funeral/wake with nice (and many not so nice) comments from the rest of us.

Although i am suspect of his resurrection through some people on here...

I've been wondering where he went to.

[Yossarian 1,820]

Goodwin will be announced very soon. Possibly this week.

In keeping with our long and storied history of problem gamblers.

I think it's the lack of respect for the people involved that always bugs me about this sort of humour. Imagine I'm alone on this one.

Just got a two week ban.

Sam McClure reports Simon Goodwin is close to becoming Melbourne's senior assistant to Paul Roos, and will succeed him as coach in 2017.

[Canplay 635]

This can only be positive. There must be a clause that either party can pull the pin if succession doesn't feel right after two years.

[spirit of norm smith 16,651]

Its a YES from me ... Goodwin has the background both in terms of as a player smd in the coaching ranks

[s-t-i-n-g-a 439]

Can he bring Heppell with him?

Must be - but it would cost heaps not just in $$'s but in credibility - if we have any left !

Be interesting to see whether it leads to any sort of fallout amongst our present assistant coaches. Rawlings who became Roos' senior assistant will effectively get demoted the day Goodwin arrives. Even if Rawlings has no aspirations to go higher , he'll need to quickly come to respect the new man or his job satisfaction/motivation will disappear pretty quickly

As I said before replace the term "Essendon" with " a Finals team" in his pedigree and it reads very well !!

Range Rover has gone? OMG

[Gorgoroth 13,188]

Range Rover did not leave for good, just changed his name.

[beelzebub 23,390]

Hasn't he signed yet !!

[Dr evil 1,185]

Does he come with peptides?

[beelzebub 23,390]

According to the HUN this morning Clark is going there bb

I know that Goodwin was an excellent player and on-field leader- probably underrated here in Victoria and he must have been an impressive new retiree to get the gig at Essendon in the first place. Clearly Bomber Thompson must have given Roos the thumbs up - and Craig must hold him in high regard . Not sure but might have been Bernie Vince's first AFL captain as well.

Unfortunately I struggle to see anyone associated with Essendon as the blue -eyed boy we are going to build our future on - but I'll put that behind me if Roos gives him the nod.

The name "Party Boy" fits a troll well - but I wouldn't be surprised if he's proved right.

Heard the same from a well known player agent at a lunch at the MCG yesterday.

Christian Salem was also there. Heading OS next week with Josh Kelly....Asked him about the Goodwin thing, he knew nothing of it.

Think you are on the money Party Boy

I would have liked Brett Ratten to be in the mix. Proven that he did good things with Carlton even if he was chased out of there for Mick. Now working under Clarko.

Presume they would have sounded him out and were declined?

What happened to stu dew?

[demoniac 1,337]

Yawnfest!

[chook fowler 19,734]

Looks like Bluey McKenna might be in trouble - another one of Micks golden boys might join Neeld and Watters on the side lines.

[hoopla 418]

He re-signed with Sydney. Apparently lifestyle - other half is a Sydney-sider - as much as football

Elaborate please..
