AFL 360 and On The Couch

Featured Replies

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.

I don't think it is Peanut Butter Jelly Time just yet, Jaded.

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.

It's been a rough 7 years.

Let that dancing banana have some joy dammit!


Neeld will be live on fc tonight

Couple more ins too please: Mark Williams and Junior McDonald.

Like to include Simon Black in the ins as well; playing assistant coach.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
