Not at the moment

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 :-)

jump in the que nasher, jump in the que... your not robinson crusoe you know...

.... we have all to work to change this amateur run club of 48 Yrs. pity we didn't grab Kerry Packer to help us some time back. he would have bought the northern stand & turned it upside down.

& he would have told a few players back 8 - 10 yrs ago a few home truths.

I remember her well Nasher. Lovely!

You should put up her 8yo photo as your new avatar, as a reminder of how long it's been!

There is a point where the club has to move on from Roos. We reached that point three weeks ago when he said 'no'.

And that's why we continue to fail....

[Ted Lasso 17,368]

until we sign someone else i am assuming we will get our preference

[Return to Glory 7,869]

Do you mean because we move on or that we don't Stuie?

[stuie 7,374]

MFC: "Hey Mr Roos, would you like to coach MFC?"

Roos: "No thanks"

MFC: "Oh ok then, thanks for your time"

Is that how you think it should go?

[Ted Lasso 17,368]

malthouse and hird said no.

mathews said no to the lions at first

[dee-luded 2,958]

... or, do you mean when its announced???

[Return to Glory 7,869]

I didn't realize you wrote scripts Stuie. But I digress. I am sure PJ has/ is pushing to get Roos to the club. But eventually there is a need to move on based on strong indicators. Short of telling us to f$ck off, he doesn't appear interested at all. Hope I'm wrong but don't think I am.

I'm sure PJ can do more than one thing at once.

Would you like him to ask Roos to coach us in different dialects? What are you talking about?

I think there is more to the situation, i highly doubt PJ would bother wasting the clubs time putting Roos on the shortlist if he wasn't fairly confident he was a decent chance

Terrific if that's the case. But if its not we should move on.

It was reported last night he was on the shortlist with Eade, Williams, Ratten and Craig

Oh, f$ck!

[Return to Glory 7,869]

I have no doubt that he's at the top of it. But that by extension doesn't mean he wants to coach us

[Ted Lasso 17,368]

But surely a shortlist inclusion means they still consider him a very realistic chance

I'm sure we're talking to more than one person about the job, and the conversations are ongoing.

[Ted Lasso 17,368]

Oh, f$ck!

it's about what we expected isn't it?

[jumbo returns 6,619]

These names are soooo tired!

[Ted Lasso 17,368]

These names are soooo tired!

Who would you rather? i personally am thrilled to see we're going to have an experienced coach

your right, Roos is not interested and l think we should get Chocko. l know Roos is a very successful coach but that negative football that he gets his teams to play drives me nuts. I went to a Melbourne-Sydney game at Docklands in about 05, the final score was around 8.6 to 5.7. l swore l'd never go and see a game Sydney played again or until he was not coach anymore. It was the worst game of footbal l've ever seen.

I think he would probably develop a new game plan based around the strengths of our list.
