But another question - Roos wanted Dew, I 100% agree, but what if Dew wanted to rebuild and start from scratch like hes done with the Suns, would MFC swallow a rebuild?

I sense Dew didn't want the coaches-graveyard job,  as his first go at it.

i was super keen on dew - had played in premierships under choco and then clarko, and had served a fine apprenticeship under roos' successor, longmire, including being in the box for the 2012 premiership

but everyone knew melbourne's list was stuffed and why would you go there when yr role as an assistant saw you play finals on a regular basis? assistants at successful clubs often get the push to take on a main gig - it's why rutten and caracella were chased so hard by the peptides, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see adam kingsley the next cab off the hardwick's assistant line

So he went to the Suns?

While I agree this job is probably a graveyard going to the Suns isn't much better

If you would focus instead of allowing your emotions to lead you up the wrong pathway.   You may have noticed the highlighted above.

The comments posted are about our past 50 years of Mfc boards,  'OhUSA'.

Do not lecture me you fool. I read what was written and my comments are relevant.

I think the Suns job was a much better bet when Dewy went there,  than our job back in 2014.

Also I reckon Dewy has AFL backing.


relevant, You fool.  rubbish.

My post is/was about Melbourne boards from the mid 1960's,  to  2013-ish.

Nothing to do with our current AFL endorsed board. 

 

I've heard he's not interested in a senior coach but if Goodwin was moved on and we were going to go for an untried assistant i'd be going for Blake Caracella. 

We live in enlightened times  so I think it is fair to point some thing that may make Goodys job a little more difficult than the next bloke. Some may take this is a criticism but is not, rather an observation of somene who is a vital part of theClub. It has been noted sometimes Goodwin gives an unusual smirk at inappropriate times when being questioned. Additionall he really struggles in press conferences to contain his movements and again in yesterdays conference he stratched his lift leg repeatedly, seven times. At other times you could see him conciously grab his arm and fold them together to control his repertitive habit. It must be a strain for him to listen, answer questions and control his movements. Hats off to him for having the guts to front up with an obvious compulsive disorder, but it must put a lot of strain on him and his performance as players are very concious of coachs sayings and actions.

caracella has stated previously that he doesn't want the senior role - happy to be the primary assistant

he'll be at the peptides for some time setting up their mids beautifully, the rotten so-and-so, much as he has the tigers, and the cats, and the filth before that

  • 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.
