Would love to see Roos still be involved with the club, somehow.

Maybe a return to the playing field? He could help give McDonald a chop out.

    I think we'll see Goody turn over the coaching group a little bit when he comes in, personally think Rawlings might well move on anyway, he's been around a while and wants a senior role.

    Maybe Goody could get someone like his old mate Bassett in as a backline coach? 

    I also think they'll target another experienced coach to replace Roosy, with Macca going to keep focusing on the development programs and so on.

    Assuming that there are no perceived 'weak links' I reckon it will be important to keep most, if not all, of the current coaching team together for Goody's first year in the senior gig. Goody will obviously bring his stuff to the table, and that should be filtered throughout the panel, but a strong sense of stability will also be important if the transition is to be seamless.

    Much merit in keeping a lot intact but there may well be one or two changes .

    Just keep Macca ;)

    Update on Roos plans.

    In a 3AW interiview, Roos has said:

    - he and Tammy will start a Leadership and Wellness company

    - thinks Simon will be a fantastic coach

    - looking forward to the Dees doing well and will be a Dees fan after he leaves

    - he and PJ have had chats about next year but decided to focus on the next 8 weeks

    - would enjoy coaching our women's team.

    - his prior role at Sydney Academy was discussed (...we have a Multicultural Academy waiting to be developed)

    - doesn't see him self going to another club - you become wedded to a club eg watching players like Watts and Jones develop

    Would love to see Roos still be involved with the club, somehow.

    Heard that and it would be good to see Roosy coach the Academy kids if at all possible.

    Also at a function recently, PJ said that when he retires from his position at Melbourne, he will be a life long Member and Supporter of the Melbourne Football Club and will be at the games only on the other side of the glass.

    As PJ has many good working years ahead of him I choose to interpret that as he will be at MFC for many a year! :rolleyes:. 

    Along with Mahoney PJ makes our club rock solid off the field.

    Does anyone know when Roosy actually signs off? I hope he stays around to offer advice during trade week and for drafting.  His record during this critical time can't be underestimated.

    I imagine if things go okay next year there are going to be a lot of bumps. I personally know assistant coaches that have worked under Macca and they maintain he is great to work with.

    I hope things improve next year. I doubt many of the posters who here don't rate Goodwin are hoping for a poor 2020 just so their Demonland reputation is kept in check. I hope to God that Goodwin proves me wrong.

    Happy to be proven wrong too.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
