I believe he's going to be a regular contributor to Demonland whilst based in Hawaii.

Why stop there?

Whiteboard Wednesday?

I think Roos will stay on in a part time football department role. Nothing to do with coaching, more to do with making the club relevant in the corporate world and through the media.

Maybe Roosy thinks we'll play "that" final this year, so his work is done 12 months earlier than expected?

(Edit - this post isn't serious. Or maybe it is. FIIK!).

For those asking how Goodwin might go here is a take from Bernie and Jack Watts :http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-premiership/simon-goodwin-shows-similar-traits-to-melbourne-coach-paul-roos-says-bernie-vince/story-e6frf3e3-1227422365467

Goodwin seems to be the yin to the Roos yan introducing a more attacking game to complement Roos defensive game.

And Goodwin is doing great work with player development.

This is exactly how year 1 of Goodwin's development as a coach was described when he joined the club.

As Roos stated when Goodwin joined and again last week, he will do more as time goes on.

But Roos is smart enough not to rush it.

A big job for Roos is to take the heat from the press when we go thru a loosing patch, which we will.

Roos will stick to the original plan when he signed up for the 3rd year: he will be our senior coach thru 2016.

And, he will continue to give more to Goodwin behind the scenes and on game day.

That is as it should be.

For those questioning of Roos: "Assessing the performance of Paul Roos must be made in the context of his main objective which is to hand over a strong list, culture and team in 2017 to his successor Simon Goodwin. On that basis Roos is performing well. The side is more competitive, the players are being developed steadily and performing well when stepping up to the seniors and the team is functioning as a unit more often than not. There have been lapses – such as the last minute of the St Kilda game or the second half against the Magpies – but these can merely be filed into the valuable lessons category, particularly on the back of the win against Geelong. Roos is unlikely to mention the past again as the team has steadily built respect and is now a formidable opponent capable of kicking a winning score".

At the risk of sounding like a 'broken record'...Roos is doing exactly what he said he would do: Build the team and develop his successor!

When he goes, at the end of 2016 it will be a shame to see him go but we will not be disappointed in the legacy he leaves.

Time will tell.

But, I'm pretty sure I broke the news about Goodwin becoming senior assistant too.

Dee-luded, I've been on Demonland for a fair few years now. I'm certain it wasn't that long ago that you posted mostly semi-normal stuff on here. What the [censored] has happened to you mate? I'm seriously concerned.

Fast becoming one of my favourite posters. Agreed.

The last decade of insipid football from a club he loves.

    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. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    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.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    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.
