Any news actually relating to Paul Roos?

Oh you want REAL news. Well we'd better start another thread for that :rolleyes:

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

Eade for me jr

Eade in a succession plan with Leigh tudor sounds alright to me :)

Posted

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.

The best coaches are already coaching.

Roos has said 'no' emphatically 100 times already.

Williams or Eade.

Omg.

I think our next coach is still working in the head game as we speak.

D-L what do you mean by "head game"?

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 :-)

[censored]! He's knocking on the wrong door if he thinks he'll finish his 'business' @ this club.

Poor fool.

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!

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
