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?

I would not be so sure. We will see.

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

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
