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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
