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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
