Either doesn't get on with Goodwin or got a better offer. Maybe Tigers.

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

Weird.

Peter Ryan's article suggests that he is looking elsewhere for opportunities whereas the MFC article simply says that Brett's 'contract will not be renewed'.

The latter indicating that we may have someone in mind to take up that role?

Or perhaps a mutual departure from both parties.

Funny how two articles can be interpreted so differently depending on a few words.

I wondered how many of Roosy's team would stick around

[McQueen 17,867]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was purely a cost saving decision by the club.

The development program is in place, Macca is running it (who came into the role after Allisons employment) and the club probably feels we have adequate resources to carry out the program moving forward. 

Maybe let's not look for a conspiracy for a change.

Change of head coach meant there was always going to be changes to the coaching team.

No surprise, no drama, that's footy.

Enter Matty Egan?

no problem. both statements can be correct. brett would naturally want to paint a positive picture

I thought they were in Melbourne...

[faultydet 7,623]

If true, I say thanks for your time with us Brett. I think our coaching team has done a great job, so by extension you must have done a great job also.

Be proud of your time here, and best of luck with your next role, whatever that is.

Joking, even though they are from Canberra I believe. 

I was throwing it in, in line with someone else who may want to go home.

Melksham, Hibberd, McCartney, Goodwin and now possibly Egan?

They will only help to 'enhance' the performance of the club as a whole?

Thought they might have moved, I used to work with his parents a while back in Melbourne.

Terrific people...

[Satyriconhome 10,880]

It says on the club website that the development team has been restructured and Allison wasn't offered a new contract, would seem a bit strange if we then hired Egan in a development role?

Why, they may think Egan is better.

Yes I understand that, and most posters want MFC to be more ruthless, but that is pushing the envelope and not a good look, although assistants move all the time, discussions I have had has Egan/Allison on same level as development coaches, Roos cherrypicked Allison for this very reason

Obviously that has changed.

Can you explain how you can measure one against the other?
