Garry via Barrett saying that Roos has officially knocked us back.

Clarification on this

wouldn't that be via PJ who is apparently overseas and has not according to Roos spoken to him since the first call!

hindsight is a wonderful thing old dee, in 2010 we had a better list going forward according to many. Funny old game and things change very quickly.

when considering Meth Coast's list consider names who will are diminshing very fast and will be gone in either 2014 or 15

Cox - Lycett & Sinclair are not up to it

Kerr - like Cousins and Judd very hard type of player to replace

Glass - very underated and on his last legs, Mckenzie is no where near as good and does not marshall the defence the same was as Glass does

Embley - good 2nd tier player who provides depth

Watters - Bashed his body around and no replacement

Adam Selwood - finished

Le Cras - I will give him the benefit of the doubt as it is 1st season back from serious knee injury but is a long way off his form pre-knee recon

That is a big gap in the list to fill and any Roos will view it this way

Still looks better than ours to me PSD.

And they have money to burn.

Over all I would still take the WCE job over the MFC

Same salary cap Old

yes but in the FD / facilities they have way more than the MFC will ever have.

Anyway PSD I don't think he is keen to return to coaching.

If I had to wager my CHG I would put it on him doing exactly what he is doing right now.

It was just reported on Triple M with Garry saying he had just heard that it was officially knocked back. PJ doesn't go away until mid-August I think. I am sure he would have put in more than one call too.

just my opinion but if Roos is out i'd wager we get Eade

hope not, we need Choko Williams

not fussed if Roos is out. No point worrying about someone that isnt available and doesn't have the heart to coach.

So people are automatically saying now its between Choco, Eade and Craig.

I wonder if PJ can pull something from left field or if it will definitely be one of those 3.

I think it's past time the club shelved Roos and looked at coaches who are interested in doing the job. There are plenty of experienced coaches out there who would love to get a senior gig again. Why keep pestering a guy who just isn't into us?

Who says we're not preparing B plans and C plans? The continued questioning is media driven, not club driven. I'm sure we're "looking at coaches who are interested in doing the job" too. But as has been mentioned ad nauseam, we cannot talk to other candidates who are under contract at opposition clubs until the season is out.

Like who?

We cannot afford any untired apprentices.

Eade is interested, don't worry about that. He has unfinished business.

Yeah, Eade is clearly interested. You only had to see AFL 360 a few weeks back. Definitely wants it.

Its obviouse you have never lived there. Kiddin yourself if you think melbourne shits all Perth.

There's more than reason why half of Perth's kids move over here. Perhaps that's just my industry.

surely it wouldnt be sheedy or someone like that,

knights and ayres wouldnt be a good fit

burns, sumich, richardson maybe??

preference 1: eade

2: williams

3: craig

Cameron Ling would be interesting.

correct me if I am wrong but right now he is not even an apprentice.

The MFC needs someone with loads of Credibility because 2014 and 5 are going to be very lean

while the list is rebuilt.

We need somone that the media will not be able to say, this guy cannot coach.

We also need a proven a winner to sell to members and sponsers.

This is depressing news if it's true.... It was good dreaming for a while

Are we really giving any cred to anything Garry says about picking a coach?

Gary Lyon via Damian Barret, no less

Two of the biggest morons in footy

Its not about him choosing the coach, Roos has knocked us back officially, game over, Williams or Eade.

Yes, thanks mjt, I am aware Garry is not helping pick the coach. In fact, he has nothing to do with the club, maybe that's the point...

    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
