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....

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?

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

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

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
