Fined for betting in Adelaide.

Involved in Essendons drug fiasco.

Puhlease! Don't rewrite history with the integrity BS.

As long as he is a good coach, and a good addition to PR and MFC, then that should be enough. Let's not canonise him!

Fair points.

Good deal by the dees.



As is becoming usual under this regime, things happen, there is no leaking and the Roos/Jackson combo has serious street cred. Compare that to .... nah don't go there.



Go Dees

My take? Great news. For a number of reasons, not least of which being the vote of confidence in our direction this flags from a sought after assistant coach, one who may well have been able to snare a senior gig at a club who should have made finals and obviously are (or perhaps were) well ahead of us in terms chances to win a flag.

Importantly it also creates an air of certainty about the club that ongoing discussions about possible successors would work against, even though logically it probably shouldn't - perception is reality. This can only be a positive coming up to a crucial recruiting period.

It also means that by knocking back the crows (who surely would have been hoping to get him) they will be in a self imposed flux, that conversely cannot be great for them coming up to a crucial recruiting period. Which can only be good for our chances of snaring someone like Danger (who as noted by a poster said publicly in May whilst Sando was there so was he - i wonder how he gets on with Good Win?).

5 years is a long time.

Let's see how he and Roos work together and whether they can lure some class onto the list.

I have been burnt with too many coaches in the past.

This one has to bring victories.

Could be a handy link if we're thinking of luring any want-away bombers.

In fact, he'd have some pretty good intel into which ones were susceptible to being lured away.

Just a thought.

Wouldn't sneeze at Carlisle.

Leroy Jetta, anyone?

Kidding!

Him turning down the Crows in favour of us, is massive.

Money wouldn't have been a concern for them, obviously, so we didn't buy him from their clutches.

He must really believe what he says. We were the best choice for him.

Which is great for us.

I know people - it's done.

Happy to never post again if I am wrong.

Well it looks like PartyBoy will live to write another day.

Irrelevant now, but it wouldn't have been announced today had it not been for the Adelaide AND impending Gold Coast Fiasco.

Well done PBoy, what else is going on?

It's good news, last night it looked like we would be embarrassed by adelaide. Like others here, I trust PJ and Roos, and Goodwin is going to be awesome for us. (just delete the memory of his 'good stuff' texts) Easy, already done- that's footy

What's happening at Gold Coast? Coach sacking rumours?

Partyboy - where does this leave the Dangerfield scenario?

Not to mention the resumption of the Bombers circus tommorow

Nothing like the end of a season to re-ignite a demon supporters excitement and enthusiasm in football!

It's the only time we have for such things.

I didnt think he looked nervous - I thought he looked measured and calm. Two things you probably wouldnt have said about some of our previous coaches. This appointment also gives time to Viney and co to rebuild our list properly.

A mate tells me that Goodwin is as close to Jnr MacDonald a player could be without actually being Jnr MacDonald.

Im happy. Now we need a list.

I was a fan of Stu Dew but I have no idea why.

As for changing Clark and Frawley's plans - who cares. A five year appointment means to me a restructure of the list. Not really sure that would include a player who seemed to purposefully underperform and another who played 15 games in three years no matter how talented.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
