WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS


timmyo64

Recommended Posts

All this Roos talk is worrying me.......All this talk of the messiah ......What if he turns out to be the Malcom Blight of St Kilda fame

What if all he proves is that it is the list not the coach.....

What if it all turns to sh!te .....what the hell do we do then?

I'm not saying that this will occur........But the confidence on here is a little concerning..........

Edit....Spelling

Don't worry Boosdog.

We will start a "it's time to go Paul Roos" thread and he will be gone within 2-3 months!!!!!

We've got this!!

Stuart Dew is the Swans "stoppages" coach. if he wants a new challenge he is more than welcome to come across on Roos coat tails

The Swans midfield is everything I want for Melbourne; tough, skilled, organised and not over-reliant on one star individual

Firstly I reckon St Kilda were out of line to sack Blight so early into his contract. This culture of giving the coach th flick at the drop if a hat is pathetic.

But yes what your saying has to be a concern at some level, especially if the asking price is so high. I mentioned it back back MN was coach and people were asking what happens if we keep him and it all turns to s___ again. I countered with wht happens if we sign Roos and it all turns to s___ again?

There's no doubt he has the runs on the board though and you would think even though none have played under him the players would already have a huge amount of respect for him.

If he does come to us then I think we supporters need to be careful about seeing him as the messiah. All that talk comes from fans.

Blight was sacked because he wasn't turning up to club functions, it was as simple as that, he never bought into the club.

The more that Roos delays his decision the more he can get out of the AFL, and let's face it the AFL are the ones who are offering him the role. They want the MFC to be successfully and they want Roos to be coach, he can just sit back and negotiate more out of them before signing

The longer Roos waits the more chance that Craig turns this club around and builds a groundswell of support.

That's how Roos got the swans job when he came in half way through the season.

There is a strong chance that the dees win 3-4 games by seasons end.

If that's the case then Craig firms as coach in my opinion

I've heard the rumour that the deal is done too.

Source has been spot on previously, but admits that at this stage it's more speculation rather than 100% confirmed.

So what you are saying is that someone who has been spot on previously, has speculated that Roos has signed.

To sum up he has guessed.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this or heard it. I was at the games last Wednesday and heard Michael o'laughlin interviewed on sen. During the interview he said he was asked a month or so ago to be an assistant coach. He didn't mention the team. Due to the timing of this request I would guess we were are part of this. They didn't go into it further and maybe didn't even really pick up on the comment. It is very possible that he would come with roos. I am of the belief roos is coming. Of course, I could be wrong.

I have heard a rumour too, nothing has been signed , but both parties are in negotiation.

Same source told me Neeld would be sacked 3 days before it was announced.

Little paper saying AFL will bankroll Dees' bid for Roos. Just sayin'.

The question has to be asked "Why would they be approached and say yes to an offer unles we were a fair way down the track with Roos?

I am starting to think he is already signed, sealed and delivered and this smells like a typical AFL clumsily orchestrated PR campaign. Very similar in terms of leakage and predictability, to the Scully and the Tanking campaigns.

Then again it could also just be the newspaper reporters just makin stuff up.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
