Melbourne's new five-man coaching selection committee will meet for the first time today.

The panel, chaired by new chief executive Peter Jackson, also includes football staff Todd Viney and Josh Mahoney, board member Greg Healy and coaching legend and AFL Coaches Association president David Parkin.

Sure beats the hell out of the last panel of Schwab, McLardy, Lyon and Spargo.

Good to see Parkin helping out.

Absolutely spot. The fact Mike Sheehan son tim tweeted as early as round 2 about us talking to Roos was also true. AFL phone Roos and put in a case for him to come back to coaching. Neeld was a dead m

To all on here, STOP HYPERVENTALATING! Roos made it very clear that he would not interrupt the celebrations of the 2013 season by formalising his appointment before the B&F. No doubt WC will put

A certain manager of a certain high profile, high draft pick who's contract is up, has told me that it has been confirmed to him by our club that Roos will be coach. This story has played true since

Interesting in this article is that the commission meets on Monday so we should know what we are going to get ie pp, $$$$ etc.

Below is what was in the article:
The AFL Commission will meet on Monday to consider Jackson's bail-out package for the club, believed to be about $2.7 million.

Hopefully Tuesday we have a clearer picture of the way forward.

It's called a paywall and if you have Chrome you can just copy and paste the last bit of the URL and search for the article on Google and get around it.

Another way to get around it is clicking on this link, it's the Herald suns Adelaide paper The Advertiser - Adelaide supporters are obviously not as footy crazy as us Vic's so they don't get charged for it....

The quality of the coaching sub committee shouldn't be understated, no Gary Lyon and this time we have a premiership coach on board.

Whatever way we go I have confidence we have the right people making the decisions this time.

I like the following line from Roos himself in the "Dees bid for Roos" article in Real Footy today:

"I think it's got to be someone who you can sell to the members immediately because this is the hard thing for the Melbourne supporters - they may not win next year.''

Maybe it's just my blind optimism, but to me that almost implies that he is covering himself if we fail to set the world on fire in 2014.

sub comittee a good or bad sign in terms of landing roos

I did touch on this earlier suggesting no panel was really necessary for Roos. I still think thats the case though Jackson is leaving nothing to chance here I suspect.. Possibly having the panel is to indicate we arent being too myopic and are at least capable of looking beyond Roos.

It might just be window dressing also

Sorry mate, they must have changed it as I was reading the article this morning.

Generally going to either The Adelaide Advertiser or news.com avoids the whole paywall thing.

It's not like this panel is costing us heaps and was hard to put together. All but one of the members is already on the pay roll and part of the club. This panel is virtually 5 people sitting together in a cafe and going "so Roos?"... "done".

up to fairly recently the Adelaide Now and Perth Now sites have been a handy workaround. Theyve overhauled them into line withteh HeraldSun ( bless that papers little heart and money lol )

I imagine the root News site will also go this way eventually...but now...:)

Guys this has nothing to do with our next coach.

However on the subject of newspapers and payment.

Putting it simply Newspapers are dieing all around the world and they are trying to go digital via the internet.

Now being almost ancient in the 21st Century I have a subscription to the HUN.

As a result of that I get access to the HUN website as part of the deal.

I seldom use the internet version I find it way inferior to reading a newspaper ( probably just my vintage )

however it is very useful when interstate or OS.

The total packaging I find cost effective and useful.

As to the new coach I have a gut feel that Roos will not be our next coach.

I think he wants the WA job and that is why he has not committed to us.

But again it is only my gut feel.

Didn't he actually say "if you asked me am i interested in coaching, I'd say no, but you haven't asked me that question.." If that was his direct quote looks pretty black and white but so did Hird.

He said "If you asked me 'am I interested in coaching,' I'd say 'No.' But I can only answer for right now. If you ask me that question tomorrow, next month or next year, my answer might be different."

    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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
