WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

And Roos is the type of Coach that will attract good players!

This one of the major factors why we must get Roos.

He will attract players, existing players will probably stay, membership will increase and sponsors will come.

Would Eade, Craig or Chocco have the same affect?

Choco I think yes, the other two not so much.

Okay I will admit I have really doubted that Roos is intrested in the MFC posiotion but the article was intresting...

"One thing a senior coach would be looking at however before he makes the decision to take the job is stability within the football club." (was that a hint)

I love the way he sums up our situation:

Have a back line - Frawley, Garland, MacDonald etc.

Have a forward line - Clark, Dawes, Hogan, Watts, Fitzy etc.

Midfield sucks...... - Jones, Sylvia (but has some potential in Trengove, Viney Toumpas)

Once a new coach comes in and can give the group confidence and a couple already established good young mids (trade pick 1,2 or 3) the team will improve tenfold. As Roos stated it is not only offensive but also defensive where we are hurt due to our poor midfield.

"The midfield is clearly a major concern. At the moment you have probably Nathan Jones as the only midfielder who would walk into most sides. As important as it is to have great defenders to stop the opposition scoring, the main defensive and offensive weapon is a hard running deep midfield.

Your mids will create defensive pressure and dictate how many opportunities Clark, Dawes and Hogan will get.

However, it is not all doom and gloom because the current list has three potential stars."

AB SOL Ute Lee..... they need to know there is a chance to build a Future.

I'm glad Roos already recognises the value in Trengove.

I wait with bated breath for him to prove wrong all the fools that have potted him.

His performance has been disappointing the last 2 seasons, but those who wrote him off as a consummate failure are gravely mistaken.

his health has been disappointing for him, this last 2 years.... thats the only thing thats disappointing about trenners. when he gets it worked out he'll be fantastic.

You can guarantee that as Roos has talked up Trengove, he sure as hell isn't a Demonland member.

Agree completely!

I can't see us losing a player we want to keep with Roos on board.

Reading that article has turned my mood slightly. Its almost like he is telling everyone what he wants done before he takes the job.

I believe he is strongly and seriously considering the job but as he said a president needs to be installed first.

Interesting he said if he got a priority pick he would trade for a star midfielder. And Roos is the type of Coach that will attract good players!

Funnily enough I got the same feeling...it was almost like he was thinking out aloud.

Looking more and more like we will get our man imo, for someone to do an analysis like that of our list, come up with a round one lineup, a man heavily linked to the job it is starting to seem abit crazy to think that when our president and board are sorted he won't at the very least give the offer very serious consideration.

I think the exact opposite.

Why would he write such an obvious article like that? If he was taking he job he wouldn't be writing anything about us, he would be keeping it on the down low.

Seems like he wrote this article to lot us down softly and say the futures not so bad, even though he wont be part of it.

I suppose time will tell, the rumours and things have been going on for a long time though, he has gone from horribly negative to writing positive articles about us, saying we are an attractive proposition, i am not seeing it as a hopeless situation

Interestingly he mentioned picks 1&3 he must be putting quite abit of thought into this to come up with that as our ( at this stage ) most likely outcome.

IMO Roos is holding out till he knows if we get a PP.

Here is a bloke who spent his time at Sydney with no real quality draft picks.

Roos knows the value of high picks.. If we were to get a PP, he'd be mad not to take the job.

Paul Roos has a MASSIVE ego, maybe rightfully so too, but he won't want to fail and an extra PP would give him confidence.

MFC is the biggest challenge in the game and it's not a lost cause, especially given our talent and possible high picks.

Some might say Roos would've decided by now, rah rah, but if Roos has decided by now, then he is an idiot.

In that article, Roos indication that he might be interested, came indirectly when he suggested the next coach won't consider us till our board is stable.

I am glad that Paul Roos recognises that we now have a bloke who speaks sense - like PJ - involved, that helps massively.

If we can snare Walsh and a PP, Roos will take the gig, he aint silly.

I'll join the tea-leaf reading posters and point out that the only use of the perpendicular pronoun (I for "yes minister' unaware) was in:

"That being the case I would look to trade either Pick 1 or 3 for the best midfielders available."

A slip revealing his personal involvement/intention or just a turn of phrase?

I'm sure he's interested.

But not convinced that the club as a whole, is capable of changing into something that can be shaped into a successful winning formula.

I sense he's waiting & watching, before he decides what to do, because this says he is interested in coaching again,,, but where will he end up, which state?

I think Jetta will go better under a coach like Roosy as well, where contested ball & being responsible for your defensive side is paramount. he's the type of honest player that blossoms under those sort of criteria.

It's that what Neeld was demanding from this group?

It's all in the way you milk the cow.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
