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

No not me chap, but conversations, like Brendan Mc is regarded as a doyen of development, both Allison and Egan are/were regarded as up and coming development coaches, maybe it may happen because Goodwin rates Egan more than Allison

    So, current coaching changes stand at - 

    Roos out, Goodwin goes from 'senior assistant coach' to 'senior coach'.

    Allison out from the 'Head of Development' position. Leaving Brendan McCartney as the presumptive master of all things development.

    Greg Stinear has come in as the coach of the Women's team and as a development coach.

    We actually have quite a large group of development coaches, including Shannon Byrnes and Daniel Cross as new entries to coaching. I'm not too worried about that area, given McCartney's credentials and record.

    t may even be that as the players learn to tie their won shoelaces and catch the bus on their own, we're scaling back the development side a little, to focus more on line coaches.

    Byrnes is on the welfare side, think he wants to be Footy Operations ie Mahoney and Crossy is on the fitness side ie Misson

    How many staff do we have/need?

    3 for the Melbourne Lords - Barltett, Mahoney, Jackson. 

    7 coach assistants in their tracksuits red and blue;

    9 other personnel, list managers and recruiting;

    1 head coach upon his Demon throne.

    At the MCG, where the Demons rule.

    Goodwin to rule them all,

    Goodwin to find them,

    Goodwin to bring them all

    And as Premiers, bind them.

    At the MCG, where the Demons rule.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
