This will sound really selfish but I don't want him to get the senior Bombers job. He is a massive asset to our club and is a big part of our coaching structure for the future. When Roos departs next year Goodwin will need a right hand man that has been with him from early days to see him through his first year of senior coaching.

Hoping Woosha will take the deal offered to him, although I wouldn't wish anyone upon that place right now.

    Neeldy should put his hand up for the role

    I would be very surprised if he got the job but good luck to him if he does.

    Reckon Swoop Northey would still be up for it.

    Why did they call him "Swoop"?

    I think Macca has settled well into his role at the Dees and it will now be starting to produce dividends. I think Macca likes the new environment and sees much that he can do without the limelighht and asssociated pressures.

    Who in their right mind would go to Essendon and it's vulture culture when you have a perfectly good ( and growing ) job already

    Melbourne is going places...Essendon's going straight to hell...do not pass go !!

    Yeah but its a development coach gig vs a senior coach gig....they dont come around all that often. Im worried. Really want this guy for at least a few more years.

    I wouldn't be surprised - he looks like the best option available.

    And I would wish him well but his replacement would be difficult.

    I suggest a Development Coach has greater security of tenure to a Senior Coach, especially at AFL level!

    Classic HFF, comes from nowhere, swoops on the ball and belts it through.

    Burns and Dew were the others mentioned. I'd give them both equally a chance if Worsfold falls through.

    If he gets the job good for him, we have to deal with it. We'll find somebody to compliment Goody. This is the way of the MFCSS free MFC.

    Just like Geoff!

    I don't think they're looking too hard then if that's the case.

    If we lose him, what's Sando doing???I know he's in an AFL job currently but was tipped to be joining Buckley at some stage.

    Nothing more than a gut feeling. Reckon Dew might be the most interested in the role if can be convinced that WH aren't just a bunch of Dheads !!

    The Bombers can nick off. I never share my Maccas with anyone, let alone someone involved with the Essendon Football Club.

    Wonder they haven't tried Goody again as well.....

    How does Lyon put up with this bloke on the same show....

  • Quote

    Would be pretty peeved if he left us after only one year in the job, actually only about 8 or 9 months since he started I think?

    As a side note: in the same way that we're concerned about picking up an Essendon player who could be potentially banned by WADA in the coming months, how would anyone take on the coaching job with the possibility that the majority of the players could be banned? Tough gig I reckon.

    Tony Abbott would have a greater chance of being appointed.

    Have you watched the Footy Show in the last few years? Nobody with integrity is involved in that [censored] excuse for "entertainment." This is why Lyon puts up with a [censored] like Barrett.

    And because $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    I don't think Lyon is any better.

    Because Lyon has fully bought into the AFL Media Circus™.

    If McCartney is the bees knees, why are we so keen to offload Watts & Toumpas? Wouldn't it be better to give McCartney a couple of years to work his magic with them?

    Haven't they pulled the plug on that show yet?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
