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.

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.

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.

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

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...

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
