How do you know this?

Richo does not take the Essendon job of mentor to Rutten and saves Worsfolds bacon. Therefore he continues to coach one more season and then hands over the coaching role to Rutten.  Hypothetically Worsfold has a tremedous year and makes the GF then what?  That may be enough to keep him another year?

In any case I am rapt we have Richo and good guys don't always run last.

    FFS, why do they need to play that stupid, annoying muzak under interviews?  All it does it distract from what is being said and make it more difficult to hear Richo's answers. ( Insert old man yelling at cloud here. )

    Ok well I’m now very confused about our coaching situation. Mahoney said this morning that we’re not seeking more assistant coaches. We have let 3 coaches go and only brought in Richo and he says his role is mainly to mentor the other coaches!!!  I’ve probably miss heard or miss read something but seems very odd. What am I missing?

    Simply so that it doesn’t get used anywhere else. It’s like a watermark on a videoclip

    There was music playing during the interview?

    Yes Richo is a good guy and talks well. Knows what is expected of  his role and will be the support  Goody and his assistants need.

    An experienced mentor. I believe Richo will be more than a valuable asset for us and  feel comfortable having him at the Dees.

      Bring on 2020 and beyond.

    Will be interesting to see how 2 Senior Coaches work together 

    You mean like Lepp and Hardwick at Richmond? I think it's pretty clear it works well and is pretty industry standard.

    My guess is that statement was a mistake. There's three vacancies including replacing Jennings, Rawlings & Casey coach as the fill in for Rawlings has moved to a development role.   

    There's a lot to cover and get right in these interviews and some info you must not want to disclose. For instance he paused and stumbled before he announced the offer to Elliot was 3 years. I would have thought it wouldn't be in our interests to let other clubs know what that offer is so they know what they have to beat to get him. He probably wishes he hadn''t said anything and didn't want to make that mistake again.

    Why does this guy,Goodwin, need a mentor He was hand picked by Roos 3 years of development

    What is wrong with Goodwin? If you cant get it right don’t do it.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
