WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Recommended Posts

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...

What about Cale Morton, surely he makes up for sone gaps.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
