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.

Ben Hart. Do it.

[Deeoldfart 7,755]

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.

I'd offer Roos the Ambassador of Quan position.

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! . 

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.

[Ricky P 757]

Would love roosy around in some capacity offering the odd word of advice where necessary.

This bump is as bad as TGR’s thread requesting posters apologise to Frost. You can only comment on what you know and see at the time.

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.
