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?

Roos hasnt shown much interest in continuing in a secondary role in the club. I think he is happy to hand over the reigns and go live in Hawaii. 

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. 

Let's just see how far up the ladder the MFC go before any final decisions are made. 

Roosy is a proud man...

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.
