I found the last few lines of the article interesting and something to contemplate.

Roos said what role he would play at the club next year – if any – was yet to be decided.

Roos will hand the reins to Goodwin at the end of this season.

“It is something that we briefly touched on last year – (CEO) Peter (Jackson) and I and (football manager) Josh Mahoney.

“But now that the season has started we are all really focused on finishing out the year strongly, coaching out the year right to the line.”

“At this stage there hasn’t been any further discussion about that.”

Is there a role for Roosy post 2016 or should the handover be complete?

He's done a fantastic job for the footy club but i don't think her will have any formal role past this year, Goodwin needs the clear air to make his own mark.

The elephant in the room(?): the success of succession plans upon the occurrence of unexpected degrees of success, imminently or actually (the 'black-and-white' experience circa 2010?)

 

(I may just have committed the Demonland equivalet of harikiri with this post? Even if only by comparing Malthouse (ptui!) and Roosy)

(p.s. In my suicidal post above there would likely be a roll of Roosy and certainly no role for him)

Firstly, thank you Paul Roos and Peter Jackson for getting this club, the list and all associated to this point and further.

As if, in the initial discussions to get Paul Roos to the MFC, he wasn't  offerred a long term view. Yeh we'll pay $x,xxx,xxx dollars over 3 years and after that you can sit back and be say Director of Coaching for the next umpteen years whilst the well off MFC Coterie members will have you complimentary helicopter skiing in the French Alps every Aussie summer!

Jackson & Roos have earned the right to decide their future.

That is Roos speak for "yes we've agreed upon a role but now is not the time, within the broader strategy, to define it"

He's in the trenches with us for sure.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    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. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    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.
