Can't wait for Robbo to interview him in his typically ebullient way!

So Max, remember that day down at Kardinia Park (2005) where I booted seven goals on you including a bag in the last quarter, to lead the Dees to a famous come-from -behind victory?

Egan had a shot on the siren too from memory.

And Max will say, "hey, Robbo, remember those two premiership medallions I won after you were delisted by Melbourne?" ;)

    He's going to have special responsibility for rookies ... to be known as Rooke's Rookies.

    And, presumably, he will work with them in the Rookery...

    Rooke is working on the defensive  switch with King.Seems like a tactical move.

    I was proper stoked with getting Rooke until I read this page.

    Thought I'd be enlightened with a look.

    But, I was SOOO  mistook!

    So, I curled up and had a sook..."

    They wanted Enright, but might have someone just as good.  Let's hope so.

    In my view the coaching panel is the equal of any.  Coaching is 90% during the week and 10% gameday.  Goodwin was effectively coach last year in my view and it was most certainly his gameplan.

    I quite like that we've made a few changes, bought in a lot of guys who have premiership experience, but i think in the assistant coaching ranks it's important to make changes semi-regularly because sometimes a fresh set of eyes can make a difference, Egan, Rooke and Chaplin will definitely help in this regard. 

  • Quote

    I've read good things about Rooke. I also appreciate that we have McCartney to work with our young band of coaches.

  • Quote

    I'm looking forward to watching an interview with Rooke. Burgo was quick off the mark when Chaplin was announced but we're yet to see anything with Rooke and Egan.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
