Strategy Who should be our next coach?

Has been an assistant for the same length of time as McRae was. Kingsley and Yze both got looked over many times before they got their chance.
Caracella got a ton of kudos for the work he did in Richmond's first 2 flags; now Essendon VFL coach - I wonder if that's to boost his CV coaching his own side or the Bombers moved him sideways out of the AFL mix?
Would also look closely at Dean Cox, Luke Power and Jarrad Schofield.
Imagine how bad we'd be if we didn't have him.

Great post.
Special note that Chris Scott inherited one of the best teams of all time.
Our coaching panel is poor because we are as tight as a fishes…
We are well known for being very cheap with coaches pay etc… we run the club as a business first and foremost. Winning is a very distant second to finances.
I suspect we have a LOT of long term staff members on the fringes that are all getting paid, rather than paying more for better coaches.

Would be happy to have Burgess back at Melbourne.
How about we swap Burgess and a draft pick for Goodwin and Petty?
Would we look at Goodwin, or is there too much smoke and rumours regarding him?
Both Melbourne and Goody look like they could do with a change.

I do think Truck should get a 2nd gig somewhere, politics seemed to get him at Essendon.

You need to direct that question to Roo.
If Goodwin sets foot in this club in any official capacity (other than as an ex-player), I will never pay another cent to the club.

So how many times in these close losses - including the game just gone, have we come back late and almost won. Most of our close games we have been 3-4 goals down late in the third or during the 4th quarter and have come home strong. I suspect that is Burgess
Got to remember fitness is only going to be a marginal advantage - a team isn’t going to be 10% fitter than everyone else

why so strong on that?
Because it will be yet another in the line of Roo's mates appointments. It will be another in the line of Craig's disciples. Just another indication that the boys club remains. (and I say nothing of his off field behaviour)
If he is working at the club, it says we haven't changed and haven't learnt. It says there is no way forward.
If that happens, I'm gone. For good.

Surely thats a little extreme. He has been at Melbourne 10 years and has been very successful.
What Melbourne/Goodwin have done is something to be emulated.
They brought in Paul Roos in 2013 and then Goodwin in 2014 where he served as an assistant for 2 years (2015/2016) before taking over.
Goodwin has coached 173 games. Is 100 - 72 - 1 and has a flag. He has made finals 3 out of his 7 years with a GF win, Prelim loss and Semi Final exit (by 13 points).
The difference here is that Goodwin is a premiership coach at AFL level. He has shown he has what it takes to deliver a flag.
Of all the boys club appointments to be upset about a premiership winning coach ain't one of them.
Melbourne have been a rabble most of the time I've been watching footy, now they're consistently one of the best teams. Their drafting and recruiting has been very good but if Nicks is ultimately responsible for our current predicament, then surely Goodwin deserves some kudos for the team they are now?
EDIT: I don't think he should be our next coach, just surprised at the strong reaction against him.

Agree.
Although if you have a shortlist of 3 I wouldn't mind us interviewing Ashley Hansen as well.
Hansen spent 10+ years at the Bulldogs (both AFL and VFL) and coached them to a VFL flag. Joined Carlton in 2022 this year as forwards line coach. They were 8th in 2022 (11.8 goals a game) and 10th in 2023 (11.8 goals a game) and this year he switched to a more strategic offensive role (brought in Jordan Russel as line coach) and they are now 2nd in the AFL with 13.9 goals a game in 2024 - which will do him no harm.
Roo has been trying to get Goodwin in the door since he joined the board. Well before he won a premiership. That's a nice selling point for Roo, but the desire for him has been a total boys club move.
Dees fans would love it

Analysis - The Coach – Simon 'Standard Practice' Goodwin: It's time to go (for real this time)
Happy the ox gave a barrel to Fritsch ngl I thought his defensive efforts were actually much better yesterday, the rest of his game sucked but a lot of that has to do with the dumbasses coaching. Pushing him so high up the ground to help out defensively/zone
