Primarily because I don't want a "boy's club" but instead a variety of different influences.

Montgomery has been under some pretty handy coaches, whilst Sumich is super highly rated in the west, and the other two have been involved in one of the most successful eras of all time.

I know Egan has big wraps but I just worry about too many of the same influences coming to reinforce the same messaging as opposed to look at different avenues.

Whilst I would welcome Egan, as from all reports he is a coach on the rise, again I ask, we have a full complement of coaches, where does he fit, do we need an additional coach, having not heard any talk from the club saying we will replace Goodwin on the line, only Stinear once he finishes his coaching with the girls will be integrated into the development side headed up by McCartney

We don't have a full complement of coaches.

Roos left. Goody took his job. Stinear will be another development coach, and has not taken Goody's role. There is another position open

Goodwin's role was coach in waiting, is that a vacancy that would generally be filled?

I think he did a bit more than just hang around and wait...

Yes, clearly, but all in the view that it would be work that he would continue when he became senior coach, or stuff Roos (or other assistants) would be doing if Goodwin wasn't there. I took it as a role with a high degree of redundancy; I accept that I am just assuming though.

Who was our senior assistant in year 1 of Roos' tenure, before Goodwin was hired?

Yes that is what I was asking as well, is once Goodwin vacated, the position would cease to exist, no chat whatsoever from the club about hiring another coach, but who knows?

Goodwin was also the forwards coach this year as they moved the previous guy - McPherson in to a ball movement/oversight with Casey role. 

They could hire a new forwards coach or McPherson could resume the forwards job and then they could add or not add someone in to the role he took this year. 

I would say we are well placed but probably not overflowing with coaches. There could be room for 1 more. We've got a large Roosy salary coming off the books!

Lot of clubs have been offering huge celery to Stewart Dew,which was rejected.

He would be the largest signing for us in years.

Could teach our players to go for the Krill.

This is happening.

That is fabulous news. 

I heard Chocco Williams recently say how little Rance understood of the 'defenders' craft before Leppitsch @ Richmond.  Leppitsch taught Rance stuff like - when to run off the man, where to position himself, when to mark/when to hit the ball away, running his man under the ball etc etc.  I think we need someone to teach Oscar, Tom and Sam the same things.  No offence to Rawlings but I think Matty Egan is the guy we need.

Ive got no idea what that translates into  ( not a sleight at yo Stu

just what is that as a job ?  And I thought Macca was the ultimate player-whisperer ?

I've got to admit I've got no idea how these people fill their days at work anyway. All I know is that it matters that our players are properly developed and we've added a highly rated younger resource; since Macca is still on board I'll just assume the new structure is an improvement on what we had and be happy.

The impression I got is that it means Macca will be less player development and more like that director of coaching or "senior" assistant we see a lot these days with new coaches.

Gives Goody a bit more support I think,

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.

    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.
