beelzebub 23,392 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 If I was a Roos there would be no hurry. Watch the next few weeks and see how the payers respond. Work out whether there is a chance he could rebuild it and move from there. He has no time pressure. I would suspect theres a good deal of weight behind this scenario. As others suggest though the very nature of the AFL uttering his name makes the whole thing a curious situation. Yes Vlad will of course say things like, well we dont actually Run a club, We dont actually put Directors into clubs and we dont know much about Coaches but that just classic Self Effacing 101 rubbish
jnrmac 20,364 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 For all intents and purposes please note: Mark "Bomber" Thompson (Ess assistant) Ken Bomba Shelton.(st kilda ex-coach) From Bomba the Jungle Boy. Ken looked like Bomba as a kid. No biggie but it keeps coming up. Dont you mean "all intensive" purposes
Adam The God 30,715 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 historically a good point, though we did just manage to keep a coach sacking secret for a whole weekend. baby steps! Agreed. This provides me a semblance of faith.
Gorgoroth 13,216 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Been reported on SEN that PJ has spoken to Roos who said not at the moment, but PJ is still hopeful he will accept down the track
McQueen 17,867 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Been reported on SEN that PJ has spoken to Roos who said not at the moment, but PJ is still hopeful he will accept down the track Playing coy one would hope.
Matt Demon 1,597 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Something fishy going on that's for sure. Roos being all coy about the job & the article six weeks back RE the AFL sounding out Roos. He's had plenty of chances to rule himself out but just keeps the door open slightly.
ThreeOneSix 954 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Roo's saying not at the moment = Get your board right, then come chat.
What 18,810 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Roos is probably waiting to see what the players bring to the table today and the rest of the year if they want a great coach to come to the club then todays the day to start swaying him COme on boys, crush the Saints
beelzebub 23,392 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Theres theatre here. Only at the end of Act1 currently
ILLDieADemon 804 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 At least we have something to look forward to now instead of being disappointed.
Demon Dynasty 17,164 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Playing coy one would hope. Or just playing the game. More than likely has 3 or even 4 suitors sniffing around. Why would he want to make any decisions this early IF he's decided to get back into it? Can cherry pick what's best for himself and family.
dee-luded 2,959 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 This is a really good point, Chippy. It does present a certain conundrum. Bruised egos are a funny thing. Perhaps the mouths that opened are currently regretting their lapse? However, if the MFC has the potential to leak like a sieve, the AFL must also be vulnerable to such a lapse. Let's hope that Roos simply accepts or has accepted. & this might be a part of the reason the AFL have to take the reigns for a period.... i like it... too many ego's at the home of sport. & too many fast tongues.
dee-luded 2,959 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 He said "we will see?" I'd take that as a good sign... Actually I'm sure a bird poo on my car spelt roos coach of MFC. ? chicken schitt.
dee-luded 2,959 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Roos is probably waiting to see what the players bring to the table today and the rest of the year if they want a great coach to come to the club then todays the day to start swaying him COme on boys, crush the Saints I expect you'll change your avatar next season?
Norm Smith's Curse 2,602 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Article on AFL website reiterating pj's comment that Roos isn't super keen. Was able to speak to the person I know today who just smiled when asked. no idea what's going on to be honest...
ThreeOneSix 954 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Barring free kicks in the square to the Saints, we would've lost by A LOT less. Roos would see and know this.Quality players out: Frawley, Clark, Grimes, Viney and depending on who you talk to - Jamar.
Demonsterative 3,021 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Article on AFL website reiterating pj's comment that Roos isn't super keen. Was able to speak to the person I know today who just smiled when asked.no idea what's going on to be honest... A smile usually means good things.
Norm Smith's Curse 2,602 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I think the person he knows will be soon unemployed like my previous info provider - m. Bate...
Tatu 416 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Wow! Never thought I'd see the day, when I'd be more intrested in the unknown new board members, than next weeks match....jeez...
Swampfox 190 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Playing coy one would hope. Put yourself in the shoes of Paul Roos Other than his family position there would be numerous requirements and changes to the club he would like to see happen Paul would want to be successful or he would simply just say NO instead making statements that basically say maybe leaving his options open Jackson has so far got the ball rolling and with the help of the AFL will take time to fix these to the level of satisfaction to entice someone like Paul Roos to take on the senior coaching position Paul would be more than likely be looking closely at the players who represent the MFC on game day and what is happening at Casey I have faith in what Peter Jackson is trying to implement as he too would want to be successful I am confident that the next coach of the MFC will be a long term candidate and build the list to a competitive AFL standard Anything better than that is a bonus I long for the day when every other club in this competition hate us again
Jack7 528 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Been reported on SEN that PJ has spoken to Roos who said not at the moment, but PJ is still hopeful he will accept down the track Every time Roos says no, it bumps his price up. He's not stupid.
Swampfox 190 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Every time Roos says no, it bumps his price up. He's not stupid. The point is he hasn't said No Paul Roos would want to be rewarded but his motivation to succeed would be a far greater incentive The Saints threw money at Blight who was a proven coach and probably still capable We all know how that ended
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Stage 1 is complete. The removal of Schwab, McLardy & Neeld. Stage 2 - the appointments ... Roos must be the # 1 target for MFC coach. No more assistants trying to be senior coaches. We demand a proven premiership winning coach.
Harrisonrules 273 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 This has little to do with Roos. It's all about whether his North American wife wants to live in Melbourne for the next five plus years without seeing him. It's her price, not his.
timD 994 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I wonder about Craig's comment - that a coach needs the passion to do this. Now, if drive, passion and commitment are key (but not the only) indicators we need - they are necessary but not sufficient - then I'd rule Roos out now and move on. He is Malcolm Blight. Thanks but no thanks.
