WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

If it's not Roos I reckon that would be a great outcome.

It would be.

Eade has made it clear he'd be interested in the position as he's a career coach. He said that on 360 many weeks ago. Melbourne also know his coaching credentials and ability to foster young teams.

No formal approach is required right now, but it doesn't mean that we and he aren't very interested in each other.

Yes he is interested and the club knows he is interested.

Delusional.

In fact, you're delusional that you actually know either way.

It's like those that were convinced Scully was leaving 9 months in advance.

They pat themselves on the back for being correct, but it was dumb "luck."

disagree with that

matter of fact if you actually watched, he offloaded the pill before anybody had a chance to tackle him

he made NO effort to attract opponent and get the loose going for the team, this was very OBVIOUS and an explayer sitting with us one day commented:YOU BLOKES ARE RIGHT HE DOESNT WANT TO GET HIT AND GO TO GWS WITHA BUSTED BODY;all of the people I sit with were furious that our club kept him in seniors and disallowed another player to show the incoming coach his talent if any

no we weren't GUESSING

watch his last 6 games and its very noticable

Not about luck, just being prepared to open ones eyes

they have 2 sons... Demondame said ''youngest" who I believe is 16.

the Roos boys must be 19 & 17 Yrs.

so Yr 12 school this year, seems to makes sense.

Knew he was gone when he had his media conference and said he had not had contact with GWS.

He had travelled to Sydney the previous Christmas to speak with them personally.

Was told as much by a Scully family member.

No need to lie unless he was leaving, so was not necessarily dumb luck.

Delusional.

PJ is very experienced in his role and believes we're still in with a decent chance, delusional probably isn't the appropriate word.

Dangerously optimistic?

Tentatively confident? Maybe too far

I think its time to get over the whole Scully thing.

I for one was furious when he left but as some have said we did very well out of it and to be honest I don't really blame him for his actions.

Most people in Scullys position at that age would have done the same thing - the chance to play for a great up and coming club and also be set for life.

He didn't seem to have many friends at Melbourne and this was a chance to start fresh - I would have made the same choice if I was in his shoes and wasn't a Demon fan.

Many here portray him as heartless but I have heard his parents where relying on his income which would have made it difficult not to accept their offer.

Time to move on.

Very difficult to judge what's going on with so little info, i have thought from the start " not at the moment" would turn out meaning not while we don't have a board and president in place.

un confidently confident?

I suppose the way I'm seeing it is the longer he goes without saying definitively that he is not going to do it, the more we are a good chance. Also, we'll get a better idea when the board and president are chosen if we end up with solid professionals, we are a very good chance.

He seems to talk about us just as much as Sydney these days, it may not mean much but surely he has had or is having a pretty decent think about it.

Yes, well, the more deluded are showing themselves above.

Still patting themselves on the back for taking a punt and getting it right.

But they didn't know. They didn't have a clue.

none of us know, still we don't know... analysis & best guess is all we've got, Until we do know... where will you be this afternoon @ 3.47PM & 25 seconds?

but in all likely 'hood', anything is possible in the game of thrones?

just weigh up the possible probabilities.

What if the messenger is silly enough to bother quoting Daryl Timms..?

No it wasn't "dumb luck" as you call it.. His Father was up in Sydney the previous March, before the season proper started, actually negotiating certain terms and conditions with GWS.. That was published just after he left MFC...

Yep Tyler has his Year 12 exams next month. Dylan has finished school.

Dylan plays for the UNSW/ES Bulldogs. Bounces pretty much between Premier and 1st Division in the Sydney AFL.

He was on the same Swans Under 18 Academy with Brandon Jack (same age) and we know who Brandon now plays for. Dylan has more interest in Basketball than AFL and I believe he has no interest in an AFL career.

Tyler from what I've heard doesn't play at all.

So by November Roos has both his boys out of Cranbrook School. This is why he hasn't brought it up this year.

edit: Removed my accidental yet so irritating apostrophe from Roos, just for the grammar Police.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    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

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
