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.

this

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

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
