Youre first cab off the rank Kozzie given Choco said he'll be teaching players how to kick.

first i have to get drafted in 21

 

[Ando727]

Let’s just fu** Goodwin off now, why waste another season

Pretty much. Choco is the real deal. Very creative and sharp mind. Couldn't have chosen anyone better. Choco=next MFC coach. Seeya Goody.

 

[SugarHealey]

Big appointment.

Yep, a big appointment, and i like it.

Also, i reckon his best work will be on Oliver, to get him using the footy better. The mental side of footy. And same for Weide's consistancy.

And help Tracca to be more consistently good.

 

[Proper Gander]

Uhoh

 

[Topkent]

Topkent gauntlet thrown

Haha I've been saying we should get Choco for years. He's been credited with so much good s**t in the business.

 

[Ando727]

Uhoh

Is that a good Uhoh or a bad one?

 

[Crusty Demon]

Huge get. Amazed Mahoney lasted as long as he did. Not saying he didn't do some good things, but with 1 finals appearance in his whole time, most would have sacked him long ago. Anyway, good luck Choco, you'll need it..

 

[Topkent]

Also why do people keep equating Williams with Mahoneys job. There 2 jobs aren't even slightly the same

Richo is taking Mahoneys job.

 

[ABray10]

Choco coming in as head of development is perfect. We have needed someone who can coach the Oliver's, tracs and brayshaws so we can get the best out of them and this guy is the one to do it

That was a ‘sensing Dr Whooooooo’ sort of uhoh

It's an upgrade to the football department. Significantly so.

 

[Jamurp]

Reckon Choco is one of the best blokes in footy, great get by us.

 

[Topkent]

Man can only imagine what Choco might have been able to do with Bennell, considering he's turned Dusty into a bloody gentleman

And I like that we are getting some assistants who have rough edges. Not silk lined underwear types.
It's a footy club; not the Mcc.

I don’t think Bennell and Dusty are that alike, in a weird way. Bennell strikes me as innately being a pretty mature, switched on and reflective bloke who’s obviously been through some rough times and made some very poor decisions and as a result not been able to apply his talent or mentality and landed himself where he is currently footy wise, whereas Dusty is just unapologetically an all out loose unit inside and out who ironically has managed to develop a side to his persona which he can exclusively apply to the one thing he does well, his football, and get decent results to say the least but it doesn’t really mask who he is. Don’t know if they’d get along on a night out.

 

[Topkent]

This pick up even more important now with the players we drafted. Fantastic move by the club.

All of that's irrelevant, Choco been an expert at taking young fellas under his wing and mentoring. Has a better chance of ending well for him if chocos already here

Williams has studied and excelled at sports psychology on top of his other skills and experiences.

Proven record at developing younger players and eager to support Goodwin and complement our current setup.

I suspect he will be an all round good person to have at the club.

We have quite a decent talent pool of U22yos now to go with our core 23-26yo group which makes up about half of the best 22, which is good. So developing them is key to making sure we don’t fall off a cliff in a decade or so. Worth investing in personnel like Choco.

Just have to stop you here, whoooooo.

Underwear isn’t traditionally made with a lining. That’s more a thing you would have on a jacket or a coat
