Hard to see how Roos to Goodwin could not be considered a success.

Roos' last year at Melbourne was 2016, when they finished 11th with a 10-12 record and 97.6%. It was their best performance since they last made finals, which was in 2006.

Then in Goodwin's first year, 2017, they went 12-10, 105.2%, finished 9th and missed finals by a p00fteenth.

Then in 2018, they improved to 14-8, their first finals berth in 12 years, 131.4%, won 2 finals.

That to me is an unqualified success whichever way you look at it. Even if they hadn't won the 2021 flag and competed at the pointy end every year ever since, the consistent uptick from 2014 (when Roos took over) to 2018 is pretty emphatic I'm sure you'd agree.
