At the West coast he gets all the above plus a better team to start with, warmer weather and a better place for Mrs Roos.

I think I know who I would pick!

I don't think WCE would be able to match the money the AFL could offer...

Plus with us he gets to reside in the best city in the world!

It is west coast we are talking about here.

They have more money than they can spend.

If they want him they can equal any bid we put on the table.

Now here is an idea perhaps with Roos is not all about the salary level.

Not according to Mrs Roos!

Roos, Craig, WIlliams and Eade are all Very good coaches, we are in a good position to land a quality experienced senior coach

although we have PJ and the AFL determined for that to be roos!

would not be surprised if it is already a done deal hashing out finer details

I hope that any deal the club is trying to broker with Roos is going to include an arrangement that will allow him to continue his work coaching at the QBE Sydney Swans Academy... I understand that this is one of his passions and would hate to see it become a show stopper.

Edit: I know it probably seems like a conflict of interests, but is it something that might be an obstacle in getting him to coach us?

mjt - I suggest you go back and read over some of your own posts.

BB... I agree, but my question was what will we do if it becomes a sticking point.

Yeah, yeah, I know... we all say things we later regret, but the question as to whether it might be an impediment still remains.

A group of Sheep led by a Lion will always succeed over a group of Lions led by a Sheep.

We need the best to lead our group forward.

I really hope we get roos. But not only because of the footy (although that will be nice). From a purely academic point of view we actually have a chance to test sine of the seemingly outlandish "if we get x or membership will increase by $Z,000" claims that hear so often! We will learn for sure the impact of picking up the coach on membership.

he also gets an arseload more cash to throw around the football department, and a sold out home crowd advantage every 2nd week

WCE = the haves, MFC = the havenots

If roos is smart he'll make sure the afl pay to help him succeed ie draft picks, cash etc. He won't want to be hamstrung by only paying 95% of salary cap, he'll ask for picks to help propel us up and make his job easier. Every advantage in a dog eat dog world.

That is, if he decided he wanted to come.

As much as I would like Roos as coach I just can't see it happening.. I think he is pretty happy doing his Academy and media commitments and I think his wife will get the last say in moving to Melbourne as she loves Sydney. But people are saying its a done deal etc based on what? even today he is still saying he is not interested atm and I take his word on it as I think the AFL are in to his ear big time and the money that been rumored to be on offer will be too good to refuse but his heart would not be in it.

He has not said "I do not want to coach the MFC next year."

Once he says that we can all start to build the bridge. Until then, the charade continues.

not having a go at you specifically, but I have read so many comments like this from various posters.. how the F can somebody make statements like this as if they are a member of Roos' immediate family.. or some sort of wizard that can read minds through a television set

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
