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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
