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

    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: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
