Here's a theory for you...

Col is due to stay up in Sydney this weekend. Maybe he, and a few other senior players, are up there meeting with the new coach, as currently, that person resides in Sydney...

Ah, all the Paul Roos fans will love that one!

Didn't Roos quit Syndey to come back to Melbourne? I honestly don't know the exact details.

    I doubt it.

    I wouldn't trust any of the players to keep their trap shut.

    I would say "we are looking at getting a proven coach, Colin now sign this con...er, autograph...yes, that'll do."

    Haha decent work there rpfc, nice.

    If he weren't an AFL player I seriously wonder what Col would do with himself.

    Can't forget the time he was asked if he knew who our PM was and he said John Howard... about 18 months after Rudd had been elected.

    In all seriousness, maybe he (or someone else) has been told, and that is the cause for this betting plunge on Ross Lyon...

    To my knowledge he runs the Swans youth academy, and wanted more spare time so he could travel with his wife to her native US more often.

    He needs to be in the leadership group next year (ie, the team stuff needs to be imposed on him IMO, and I reckon he'd nail it).

    If he does not get the team stuff on his own volition, he cant be a leader.

    I am glad he has signed. I hope he is more consistent over the next 2 years than he has been.

    At 25/26, there are no more excuses. He needs to deliver big time.

    I am realy worried RR this is the third time in a row

    Could not have said it better.

    I'm glad he's signed - great news for the club.

    Now can he finally have a proper pre-season and not park himself in the 'modified training program' group like last year.

    Endurance is his biggest problem.

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
