WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

You can approach chocco and eade during the season I believe you can't appointment/announce them until they have finished their season thus no one leaving with a couple of games to go etc etc

I don't even think that we can interview them until the season is over.

It's Roos or Craig I'm hearing, from a very credible source.

Is both an option?

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?

Choco with a really good new senior assistant coach, say Scott Burns or Cameron Ling.

Craig and Viney to stay on at the club in some capacity.

Junior to come back to the club in some capacity.

Misson's position to be maintained.

It's irrelevant whether we can or not.

PJ has publicly stated that we won't speak to candidates without gaining permission from their employer first.

yes he did. Question is, if he does get permission from the other club, does that override the AFL's rule that he can't talk till the season is over?

Does your source give a time frame AF?

Nope. Unfortunately.

Is both an option?

That'd be nice. I don't anymore. Just that they are the only two being realistically considered.

Roos has been talking to Brisbane too. And given that the AFL is every bit as worried about the Lions as they are about the Dees, there is every chance Roos will head north to Brisbane (although West Coast presents a solid coaching environment). And, and since the AFL wants an experienced hand at Melbourne, Craig or Williams would be seen as good fits for the Dees.

"Set to be offered another 2 years" is not will be offered another 2 years. The Brisbane heavies can hardly come out mid-season and say Voss is in the gun, and they would be stupid not to inquire about Roos' availability.

As with any of this its too early in the play. A couple more acts to come yet.

Its a bit like a dime store detective novel. Lots of nothing wrapped in poorly stitched blindsides.

Craig utterings translated are possibly :" I'll only really put my hand up once I know theres a vacancy, otherwise I look a dill."

The wiser ones are playing it to the script, the idiots aka the lesser endowed ( intellect ) journo's are still falling for the crumbs.

This is about timing. It simply isnt right nor does it suit the majors players. Roos would only entertain it once the new board and FD have shape and credo. I dont think hes really swayed either way for a PP though like anyone youd say thankyou. He might be swayed by what sort of longer term help the AFL has in mind. If Roos came hed have to do it for 5. # is unlikley to see top line results and Im sure thats what hed want to be gauged by. If 5, then he ( nor anyone ) would be inclined if the hand up was only for a season as such.. "Here you go, mind your step....bye "

Eade and Williams would sign on a phonecall Id reckon. Craig is the fox. hes not silly

Far from being worse gig in town , coaching the Dees is starting to get some shine. PJ is steering this well imho

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
