WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Recommended Posts

Roos is out of the race according to Gerard Healy on 3AW tonight.

He was asking Dees Supporters if they had a choice between Craig,Williams and Eade,who would you choose?

He has been correct a couple of times recently the last being Neeld's departure.

If I had to choose right now it would be Craig.

However according to the new rules we cannot talk to Williams or Eade as both look like being involved into Septemeber

We have a while to wait.

A few better performances over the next month and Craig's odds could shorten dramatically.

I think Choco could be the best fit.

He won a flag at Port

GWS havent come on like many expected, which could be inpart due to him leaving

Big wraps @ Tigerland

if its not choco, then Craig is the next best choice

Experienced coach

Very good win/loss record

Knows the players / club and staff, would be able to hit the ground running like no other candidate could

I wee bit of cynicism there bb.

Healy is not normally a person who makes wild claims.

He is one I think has some Cred.

All of that may be true PSD but I just cannot take a shine to Williams.

Just rubs me up the wrong way

I believe those so called rules are just guidelines are they not?

Obviously Eddie is delusional enough to believe results of games may change by not having Rocket Eade do whatever it is he does but maybe Hardwick is more of a realist.

Plus I heard Peter Jackson say he'd approach peoples current employers before the person they want to speak to anyway. Which is a smart way to operate.

The way I see it happening is that we wont rush to form our panel or advisers and we may even focus on the GM of footy first. I think the ideal time for a coaching appointment is no later than after the second round of finals. So it's a month to trade week and plenty of time to organise a preseason schedule. Luckily that fits in with the time that Rich and Coll should be finished up by!

Next Monday's on the couch will again be entertaining viewing if Healy hasn't recanted or Roos confirmed by then. Thank the lord for Mike Sheahan who has that art of being able to grill people without being obnoxious or stepping over the line. He uses very clever phrasing to get people to give up more than they want.

old..When ROOS comes forward and says,,, No , nada, nyet Then we have something to consider as a direction.

Anything til then is just guesswork irrespective of whom utters it. Its no more than his opinion.

I mean, no one in this sport has ever changed minds, ever misdirected etc etc. Do I need to go on ?

Nothing IS, until it IS

currently we have the 'nothing'

Must agree big time b as I have been involved in a story which was in the media and the story was very far removed to what happened.

At least I think to what happened cause the media would know better than someone who was involved wouldn't they...........

Interesting article in the age.

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/dees-wont-be-rushed-on-coach-20130703-2pcgf.html

Seems we have all the time in the world and only have contacted Roos at this stage.

Good to see we are not rushing into a decision prior to the other appointments being made.

Would be nice to know sooner rather than later though but that's just me being impatient, or as my wife would say an impatient plick.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.
