I wouldn't even mind a new(ish) coach who was older; Alan Richardson and Ken Hinkley come to mind as types who could win the trust and respect of the players quickly because of this.Exactly. Goodwin is well placed to make Melbourne a successful side again. The difference between the Melbourne situation and the Buckley situation is that Collingwood took Malthouse out at the top of his game. Goodwin will takeover a Melbourne side on the rise.
We are more in the situation of Melbourne than Collingwood, so it can work for us.
However, I just cannot see how Worsfold would choose Essendon over Adelaide.
I won't be happy if we chuck money at Worsfold to convince him. We need a coach that is 100% committed to rebuilding our side out of this mess, not a coach looking after his wallet. If that means we will go with an inexperienced coach, so be it.
