Just curious as to the list of assistants that are available at the moment, and who is likely to step in to replace the vacant position of Goodwin, when he moves into the drivers seat.. Thoughts?

I am not convinced about Rawlings, he has been around for a while now and doesn't really seem to be going anywhere, not sure if by choice or talent.

Maybe Ben Mathews, but only because I have noticed a trend when coached have been prompted. Structures: Senior Coach - Senior Assistant Coach - Midfield Coach.

I am clueless though.

Chris Connolly, he took the fall unjustly after the stool pigeon Mclean dobbed him in.

Would bring a lot of experience and his fondness for the club remains unquestioned.

Do we have enough coaches once Roos leaves? Or do we need to add one more? Just hope we don't go after Buckley if he gets booted..

What a complete and utter load of rubbish.

Everyone knows we should be bring back Mark Neeld.  In addition, replacing Jason Taylor with Barry Prendergast wouldn't go astray either and what's Tom Gilles doing these days?

In all seriousness, I'd like to see James McDonald interviewed for the job. Besides that there are plenty of the Geelong boys who want to coach.

With respect - we are all clueless when it comes to assistants and your view on Rawlings is apparently not shared by the AFL. See below - not everyone gets a gig in this course and it is by CV and interview so obviously Rawlings is rated.

THE SENIOR coaching prospects of Peter Sumich and Brett Montgomery have been boosted after the pair was accepted into the AFL's coaching accreditation course for 2016. 

After a lengthy interview process, the AFL notified successful applicants on Monday, with assistants Justin Longmuir (West Coast) and Jade Rawlings (Melbourne) rounding out the second intake of the level four program. 

There are now 12 coaches completing the course, which the AFL hopes will eventually become mandatory for those applying for senior positions in the future.

I think the club will be really keen to keep the development structures we have in place, so Macca won't move. 

Rawlings is keen on a senior coaching gig so i doubt it will be him either as he most likely won't be around long term.

I'd think we will look outside and try and bring someone into the club, I think someone like Brett Ratten would be a great get as a senior assistant. 

I would love to see the club approach Jonothan Brown about a coaching role as well, he has a lot of positive things to say about the club and would be great for our developing key forwards.

Next few weeks will be telling. Colin Garland is one of the most astute footballers to play for Melbourne in the last 29 years. 

Expect he would rather coach than play in the 2's.

I think you go to left field and then hop in your car and drive for about another 350km's until you get to far left of left field.

That's a very specific statement and timeline. What's the evidence? And if he's a better coach prospect than footballer, I'm all for shifting him from the on-field to the off-field role (if that's what he wants).

With his TV, radio, newspaper and sports nights jobs, he would be too busy.

He would be doing bloody well for himself, but wouldn't be the first person to make the switch to full time coaching, i think he'd certainly be worth chatting to

If he smart he would sit where he is. Comfy and little criticism.

From left field as he is still playing but body is looking worn and has been an onfield coach for 10 years

    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.

    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.
