How do you sell Ratten to the members and Sponsors?

IMO the new coach as well as being a good coach needs to have had a premiership or near it success.

Every one needs to believe the new coach is a cast iron good coach.

2014 is not going to be much better than this year.

We cannot afford to have anyone that will have their ability questioned next May when things are crap.

IMO Ratten does not hold that rating.

If we hire a coach for any reason other than he is the best choice to coach the team to success, we will have already failed. The team starts winning and the supporters, members, sponsors and wider football community will all "buy-in".

Dr I heard that in 2007, 2011, 2012 and now you are suggestion 2014

Unfortunately in won't happen in 2014.

I never said we don't pick a good coach, I said "the new coach as well as being a good coach needs to have had a premiership or near it success.

Every one needs to believe the new coach is a cast iron good coach."

and then

"We cannot afford to have anyone that will have their ability questioned next May when things are crap".

Sounds like we're going with a succession plan so maybe we'd be better served hiring the best coach for player development and make the person who is going to take over a more game day coach who will win us finals

Will Eade be happy to have a successor? Will Williams after the GWS scenario ended poorly for him?

Roos still appears the best candidate for this strategy.

Great point mate. i think Eade has unfinished Business so he probably wouldn't be happy with it.

FCS, weren't you about 21 when you started posting here ?

I was 19 when I started posting here. I was 22 when my first was born, and her grinning baby face was my avatar for years before the forum software wiped it in an upgrade two years ago, and I haven't bothered to replace it. I turn 30 later this year. I think that about tells the story :-)

Why would you feel the need to divulge to that clown?

Dunno. He's been around for the entire 10 years I have and he's offered me great amusement over the years, especially early on.

And, with all due respect Nasher, he doesn't constantly demean and belittle mods anywhere near as much as he attempts to do to the rest of us. Civility and manners are not one of BH's strong points, unless the recipient is a mod.

He has well developed survival skills?

For a minute there, I thought we were back to the point of this thread, Roos- will he or won't he, and then Choco or Eade!

No need on my account, I like a good discussion about grammar as much as the next person.

BTW Gerard Healy on aw tonight was suggesting it would be a VERY good idea for Ling to be assistant coach at MFC, the other bloke, dwane (is that really a name?), was incensed at the very idea!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    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?
