PAUL Roos says he’ll sit down with chief executive Peter Jackson at the end of the season to determine if he will have any official role with the club.

Roos, who will hand over the reins to Simon Goodwin at the end of the season, said he was purely focused on the last six rounds.

“Peter [Jackson] and I briefly spoke during the break and decided we would leave [discussions] until the end of the year, which I think is a smart thing to do,” he said.

“I’m looking forward to the next six weeks and regardless of what I do here, I’m really excited about the future and what the Melbourne supporters are going to see next year and five or six years after that – it will be a great period for the club.

“When it’s time, we’ll sit down and have a chat.”

Roos said he wasn’t worried about taking on new challenges outside of the game after this year.

“We’re very fortunate to be involved in footy,” he said.

“I am aware that there are things like singing the club song after the game, the thrill of winning the game, you can’t reproduce that.

“What I am looking forward to doing is doing other things that will fulfill me in other areas [like] spending more time with Tami and her family in America and going overseas.

“Whilst I love footy and I know I’m going to miss it, I don’t have any fear about where my life is heading or what I’m going to do.”

Roos reiterated that Goodwin would continue in his senior assistant coaching role for the last six rounds.

“It’s something that Josh [Mahoney] and I spoke to him about halfway through [the season] and he (Goodwin) seemed really comfortable with his education and comfortable with how things are going,” he said.

“The main thing in the six weeks is providing the service for the players, so whatever we do will be dictated by what we feel is the best for the players.

“One of the things we talked about is spending a bit more time with the players and a little bit less video stuff and getting some indoor sessions. We’re here to service the players and make them better.

“I caught up with Angus Brayshaw and [Christian] Petracca and [Clayton] Oliver for breakfast this morning – just to energise the players and energise the coaches. Rather than changing anything dramatically, we really want to service the players well for the next six weeks.”

Roos said there was no chance the coaches would be lulled into winding down in the last six weeks.

“From a coaching point-of-view, we’re the same. We’ve got a good group of coaches who all hold each other accountable,” he said.

“This time of the year is a little bit of a groundhog day for us because our routine doesn’t change much every week; it’s not like I can’t come in Monday and watch the game or I can’t turn up to a meeting, so really we hold each other accountable through the routine we have for the week.

“As long as you get a good day off and have a good break, you’re normally invigorated by the end of the week and looking forward to the game on the weekend.”

Roos said the latter part of the season was also a great opportunity to keep adding game time into its younger players.

“It’s just continuing to educate [the players]. We’ve still got a really, really young team so there’s a real opportunity going to Western Australia for [Angus] Brayshaw, who we thought played really last week. He had a really good break during the middle of the year to get hopefully six really good games out of him,” he said.

“Christian Petracca – how’s he going to hold up in the next six weeks? So we’re continuing to educate him. We’ve got a really young backline – Sam Frost will come back in and hopefully sure that up a little bit. How’s Oscar McDonald going to hold up?

“In an ideal world, you’d probably like to give him a breather over the next five to six weeks but again, the main thing is as they’re going through this period, what are they learning from it, what are they going to take into pre-season, what are they going to take into next year, how quickly can we advance their learning?

“So that’s really the focus for the next six weeks.”
