Good get. 

Richo, you will have your hands full and will be very very busy. 

Good luck you will need it.

    Cant see anything in Goodwin getting sacked on Sunday as per another thread if Richo has been appointed to assist him next season.

    I reckon Jordan Lewis will be announced as a development coach or Mids coach after Saturday

    I don't get that impression, I think he will be going the media route.

    Exactly what I said in the other thread. Would be completely unprofessional to do so after that statement and would raise some serious integrity questions.

    Agree but being professional and having integrity aren’t exactly our strong suit!

    Did your gut read that in the adjoining article linked to the OP?

    Of all people, Ethan the trade news breaker, you are knocking a poster for where he got his info.

    You must feel it's like looking in a mirror.

    Good get, I guess. He didn't exactly set the world on fire during his tenure at St Kilda but the fact is Goody desperately needs to be surrounded by experience and this is a good start.

    My gut feel is Richo already had a relationship with Burgess at Port. I am not 100% sure of the strategy here - but my gut feeling again is the strategy is based around a similar one to which Burgess and Richo have done in the past.

    Interesting times ahead - I hope the boys like running 

    They worked together in 2013 at Port, in 2012 Port won 5 games, in 2013 they increased this to 12 which is why Richo got the Saints gig.

    Goodwin has the full support of the board. 

    The statement wasn't so much about Goodwin as it is for Richo's roll to help Goodwin. The statement doesn't fit the "Full Support of the Board" and then sacked narrative as you hope it does.

    Ouch….

    @Ethan Tremblay, I don't mean to be a pain but I don't generally read the HS. I find their material to be mainly..  rubbish.

    But regardless I had a quick look for completeness sake (after you commented on my thoughts) and I'd love for clarity purposes if you could point out where in the article it says Richo and Burgess worked together in the past and also where it mentions the MFC were planning on changing the gameplan/strategy.

    Thanks in advance 

    PS: I do enjoy the newsbreakers stuff... no hard feelings

    Love UH

    I expect being a senior coach can sometimes be a lonely job. Having someone around who has actually been there (and not in a caretaker role) gives Goodwin someone he can talk to who can empathise with those darker moments.

    Provided they put him on game day strat & in the box vs the Aints that's at least two extra wins next season...sweet!  40% improvement on this year locked in already!

    Two heads are better than one and a new voice / perspective now that Macca's gone might be a good tonic.

    Good development coach and failed senior coach. Have we been there before? Good luck to him and us.

    Imagine if we were to add Roughead as well. 

    Mail is Roughead will be on board next year as goal kicking coach as bare minimum.

    Whether he has more of a role will depend on other options such as media etc.

    I'm all for changes, but it seems like we are having a complete overhaul.

    I read a few weeks back that Brad Green sadly lost his wife. Was he an assistant at any club? He could kick straight.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
