Creating new columns in sublevel of multindex pand

I have a multindex column. Higher level is some humans, sublevel is some measures. I would like to create some new columns which are derivatives of measures (eg. rolling mean). I was hoping I could use some index slicing to achieve this, but alas now. I've found some similar-ish questions here in the past, but they were old questions, and I suspect there are more modern, pythonic solutions.

Below is toy example where I demonstrate what I'm trying to do for one column (which works) but shows that same method fails if I try to apply it to all of the subcolumn groupings.

index = pd.DatetimeIndex(start='2018-1-1',periods=5,freq="M")

persons = ['mike', 'dave', 'matt']
measures = ['spin', 'drag', 'bezel']
cols = pd.MultiIndex.from_product([persons, measures],names=['human', 'measure'])

xf = pd.DataFrame(index=index, data=np.random.rand(5,9), columns=cols)

idx = pd.IndexSlice

#Doing this to one specific column works
xf.loc[:,idx['mike','bezel']].rolling(window=2).mean()
xf.loc[:,idx['mike','roll']] = xf.loc[:,idx['mike','bezel']].rolling(window=2).mean()

#Trying to create a 'roll2' measure for all the humans (mike, dave,matt) doesn't work
xf.loc[:,idx[:,'roll2']] = "placeholder" #xf.loc[:,idx['mike','bezel']].rolling(window=2).mean()

xf

First select columns by xs, apply rolling and create MultiIndex, last join to original:

df = xf.xs('bezel', axis=1, level=1).rolling(window=2).mean()
df.columns = [df.columns, ['roll2'] * len(df.columns)]

Another solution with rename:

df = (xf.xs('bezel', axis=1, level=1, drop_level=False).rolling(window=2).mean()
        .rename(columns={'bezel':'roll2'}))

print (df)
human           mike      dave      matt
               roll2     roll2     roll2
