I agree. I don't really rate his as a development coach - he basically took over a side that had already made a grand final under Rocket. But he is like Malthouse - will keep going until he fails and realises he is fallible.

Roos took over in 2002, Eade coached them to a granny in 1996

I doubt there was many, if any players from that 1996 team that were there when Roos won his flag

    MMM - just looked that up and you are right - thank you for completely undermining my argument :)

    the 3 words ROOS used that gives us a bit of hope....."at the moment".... I don't want to coach

    Show Paul a coaching and development model that ensures he is supported ad the story might get better for us.

    Gerard did ask Bomber the same question, "in the right situation, would you coach Melbourne" Bomber said no halfway though the question, then straight away as the question was finished.

    So we put him in the 'Possibles' pile?

    I wouldn't hold out much hope for the Clarkson/Roos options...

    But it is good to know that we are looking at Eade as a fallback.

    I really don't want to go down the untried coach path again. I think it gives this group a lovely place to hide.

    Robbo said that John Ralph has spoken to Roos tomorrow's paper and this time he did not categorically say he would not coach Melbourne next year.

    It's f'ing PARTY TIME

    The only one I can think of off the top of my head who played in both Grand Finals is Michael O'Loughlin

    After watching 'On The Coach'.........Roos is in.

    Whoever comes in will need unconditional, unequivocal, 110% support.

    Thanks heavens we've got a Jonesy, Wattsy, Clarky, Dawesy, etc :)

    What gave you that opinion Jumbo, would not be surprised if he did PJ gutting the club would be music to his ears as a first stage.

    Not just yet.

    It was that he wasn't definitive in saying 'no.'

    'At the moment...' is as cryptic as it comes.

    Also, Robbo mentioned that Tony Sheahan twittered that Roos would coach the Dees in 2014. At the time, Roos said, no.....not this time.

    Just watched the Capper interview. What a blast. What a lunatic. Love the guy.

    I've never seen a more obvious case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder than Warwick Capper.

    Love Robbo because unlike other journo's he has actual sympathy for us and never sticks the boot into us! I have seen David King and that other [censored] Mclure lay it into us and you will always find Robbo sticking up for us, pointing to the little positives. For an Essendon supporter too he isn't biased like some other people in the media.

    I agree completely. Didn't used to think very highly of Robbo. But, this year he has been the shining light in the media in his empathy for Neeld, the players and, indeed, the enitire MFC. I've been very impressed.

    Really loved it when he looked straight into the camera last night and stuck it right up Beamer.

    Well done, Robbo!

    In James McDonald

    Out Brian Royal

    As midfield coach not senior obviously

    Why is everyone wanting McDonald in as midfield coach? What are his credentials? Not as a footy person etc but as a coach?

    We have inexperienced assistants already.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
