He's been on mine since it looked like they had the knives out for him with the Saints.

Would be a great get with Burgess...bot responsible with Hinkley in rebooting Port.

I rate Richo as better than Goody... considerably. Maybe as a duo we might start plsying footy...real footy....not current  rubbish.

Some coaches just don't make great senior coaches for some reason, Alan Richardson is a great bloke, great football person and would be a tremendous asset to the MFC. i suspect though Macca leaving won't be the only change. i'm thinking it'll be a pretty significant shake up with several coaches and staff members moving on. 

it also shouldn't be lost that Macca has made a very positive contribution to the club in his development role, and no doubt the early career form of Petracca, Brayshaw and Oliver to name a few can in part be credited to his coaching.

Official. Rook is gone too I've heard on the rumour mill. Richardson to replace Macca IMO.

Macca has been a huge part of our journey

Would happily have a Richardson-type in as senior assistant sort

Surely the only assistant who is safe is Rawlings, who has a proven track record. The rest need and I believe will go. 

I hope we get Richardson. 

McCartney did great work at the club. I just think his old school way of thinking is not in line with Goodwin.

Wouldn't be surprised if Rawlings leaves or is poached, seems to be highly rated in AFL circles and wouldn't blame him if he's annoyed at being moved around when he wanted to run his own team. Hope he stays of course.

Not Mine, this Bloke knows more about footy than Jennings, Rooke and Charlie Chaplin combined!!

Bad Bad mistake MFC IMV!

[DeeSpencer 25,712]

From watching trainings Macca was an important voice who stressed the fundamentals and had a good relationship with players where he'd boost them up or give them a rev depending on what was needed.

I think the shame here is instead of sticking with a well defined role we moved him around and probably ended up having him in the way.

Whoever we bring in we need to make sure the roles are clearly defined, that everyone is on board with the game plan and that training is well rounded.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Rawlings move on for his own development.

You can only stay at a club so long, and it then appears you are treading water in the AFL industry and you become a forgotten man.

That is if he still wants a senior job down the track.

Well In my view OLD SCHOOL is better than what Goodwin has delivered. Bad Move MFC!

[Sir Why You Little 37,039]

Clean out the whole lot. This year has been that bad. 

Change is a must

I don’t disagree. I just mean we won’t push him out. He may choose to leave tho.

Old school doesn't work now days. Just ask Malthouse when he coached carlton.

Gone are the days of old hard knock coaches.

The mid season reshuffle of coaches summed up the disaster of a season..bound to happen & it’s McCartney 2nd club he’s had a falling out with.. 

[DeeSpencer 25,712]

A few people here unfamiliar with the concepts of either:

A) Contracts
And/or
B) The footy department salary cap

Not all of Rawlings, Chaplin, Mathews, Plapp etc will be going. 

Nor should they be. This is still the coaching group that had us playing some very good footy last year. 

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

Have heard rumours of Jennings wanting out/ being moved on and Bolten being on the radar, not sure if anyone has heard this?

Rubbish comment. Read the article. All on good terms and after 5 years, have enough respect to at least not make stuff up.

What makes you think McCartney fell out with Melbourne?
