Fair enough. The goal is to score goals. Trouble is no Roos side (so far) has played that way. Playing Frawley forward, even to get experience into others for me is pointless. Frawley staying or going.

Put him deep in a back pocket on a lesser tall forward if looking to blood others as true K/P players. Yes it's throwing them in the deep end but sink or swim. I mentioned in the other post how Dawson has gone on to play near 150 games and will probably get there next year. Most still associate him being trounced by Anthony Rocca and that's what footy history will remember him for.

Shoenmakers cops a bit of that now for us as the new version of Dawson. Harsh coming off a knee reco and hardly any pre-season. I reckon Hawthorn will see a much improved Ryan next year. Or, he could be gone, it does happen that some never recover to what they were before.

For Melbourne to improve they have to get a forward line that's stable and will start putting on scoreboard pressure. With Frawley leaving, there is one season down of Roos tenure as coach to have taught a youngster with K/P potential how to play that role and learn from being beaten, breaking even or even having some wins against opposition top grade defenders.

Not a shot Satan, I just reckon Roos is over rated on a couple of successful seasons where he managed to squeak out a win and a tight loss in consecutive Grand Finals. I'd have thrown in Melbourne's shoes, the house money at Thompson. He did change a culture around albeit over time at Geelong. Kept Essendon on-field competitive when they could have broken under the pressure of the off-field stuff.

Where he ends up next year (if anywhere). That side will be better off for his appointment.

Roos, take the money and run. If Goodwin can become as good a coach as he was a player, you'll have a better coach taking over when Roos leaves and one that's in it more to prove he can be a good coach rather than just taking an offer ($$$) that was to good to turn down.
