Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin was the next senior coach to jump on board — and he appeared to take it a lot more seriously.

Starring alongside daughter Lily and son Eddie, the Goodwin clan danced to The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights.

Goodwin then challenged Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley, who didn’t take long to oblige.

Buckley’s might be the most popular yet, as he danced alongside his son Ayce to Benee’s song Glitter.

“Haha f---ing love that,” Brisbane’s Mitch Robinson tweeted in reply to the TikTok Buckley reposted on Twitter.

Essendon coach John Worsfold responded to Buckley’s challenge on Wednesday night, filming his dance video with daughter Grace — complete with ugg boots. His dog even makes a special appearance.

So who will be next on the hit list?

Ratten has challenged Carlton’s David Teague to take part. Will the new top Blue take up the offer?

TikTok is a popular social media platform that features short video clips usually recorded with music.

Challenge accepted @ncb_cfc, @CollingwoodFC + @FOXFooty.

Give us your best, Ratts 🕺@stkildafc pic.twitter.com/DXS0HD1Mcy
