WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

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.

Has anyone else on this thread mentioned the rumour I heard?

Roos will coach the Dees, but ONLY if he has Tadgh(?spelling) Kennelly and Cameron Ling as assistants.

Lets say the money is right, the family says yes, Kennelly is OK but Ling says no. Roos then says no. I don't think so.

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

Only Royal is out of contract. The rest have until the end of next year as far as I am aware.

Tadhg, my brother is married to an Australian without any Irish background, she tells everyone who asks about the spelling sounds like TA-DIG, it's actually Irish for Tim

Even if they are not, paying out an assistant coach's contract is small potatoes compared to the head coach.

Same again for a development coach.

It doesn't matter either way as the AFL will be footing the bill.

Is that Alastair ..Tom Scully a one club player...Lynch.

Take nothing from Lynch, he has little to nothing between the ears.

Why did we not sign up all the assistants on three year contracts like the head coach? That seems a little strange.

Working out well.

    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

    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
