Give one reason apart from money why he would coach us, that club is an absolute basket case, they make Port look like they have a bright future, its pathetic, all those draft picks, debt paid off and this garbage they still serve up after 7 years, how can you gets kids to follow this rabble.

Why would any CEO at a football club go away for a month during the season

Because he had already planned before he got appointed CEO and told the AFL he had it already booked.

Mike Shehan / 3aw tweeted Roos is a 3/10 chance of coaching melbourne next season! Forget him coaching us

Why does this stupid charade continue? If Roos is out then let's just get on with life.

How about the challenge?

Growing his legacy?

The prestige of resurrecting a club that has been in the wilderness for half a century?

Being a head coach again in a situation where he will be given whatever he says he needs to succeed?

Coaching in Melbourne where he grew up?

It's not that hard to think of some plausible reasons.

Maybe it's because most of our high draft picks have thus far shown SFA

The other way of looking at Mike S tweet is that he has been saying for a while that Paul Roos is zero chance and now it is30%

What does that even mean? Is Shehan giving himself an out on being wrong? Is Roos flipping coins? Does he keep yelling "No! No! No! Yes!" Have 3 of Shehan's gun sources said yes while 7 said no?

What a stupid tweet. He's either 100% yes or 100% no.

This other rubbish is Mike trying to read tea leafs and body language. Next story will be him and Robbo trying to feel the bumps on his head.

*Sigh*

- Disclaimer : I'd like Ratten, but if the AFL wants to pay Roos $39.6M per game, then who am I to stop them?

Or having the financial and people backing of the AFL.

Or having what Roos said was a promising list that had a number of holes to be filled.

I see it as a great challenge for a guy that loves to create success. If he wants to coach again, he'll take it. If there is no coaching drive left, he'll say no.

I just wish he would make up his mind so that WE can get on with it whether that is him being coach or not.

TBH I am becoming over all the speculation.

Because he has a life. And probably because he had it booked before he joined us.

There is a world outside football you know......

I wonder if this sub committee will target people for assistant coaching roles.

I'm hearing Roos wants a succession plan ala Longmire. If true that would mean at least one new assistant comes in next year. Of course, Roos would probably want to handpick them.

I have a feeling there will be more than 1 new assistant. I am pretty sure all assistants would be out of contract.

Mark Stevens on game just said jungle drums are beating and its nearly a done deal. 1 mill a year llus his own coaching group.

Still not confident.

Mark Stevens seemed confident we'll get Roos, on Ch 7's game day

Ok, so who out of Stevens and Shehan is the most reliable rumour monger?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
