Apollo Bay?

ahhh Did I ever tell you guys about my youth and the many nights spent solving the universe's problems at the end of the pier along from the breakwater ?? Full esky of green tinnies...

NO ?? ahhh Apollo Bay

[Cards13 9,117]

I have it on good authority Roos was spotted at the Bay Leaf cafe celebrating buying a house in Apollo Bay in anticipation of his move to Melbourne, Wet Coke and Brisbaaane.

Has this thread turned into the Great Ocean Rd appreciation thread. There is such thing as PM ing

the West Coasts answer to Capt' Bloods Bemm River reports.

.... smoke & Blue Cods.

You would have thought that the Lions would not have got rid of Voss unless they have a QUALITY replacement ready to go.

Roos has the links to Fitzroy and his comment "not at the moment" makes sense now. It was nothing to do with Melbourne it was waiting for this to happen at the Lions.

He has been courted a while ago and is just a matter of time for the announcement. Once again it seems we will miss out on a BIG name coach (that [censored] me tbh)

Hello Chocco or Eade

The above is only my opinion.

That's old news Y D!!!

[Machsy 2,858]

I've spoken to some people at Geelong and they seem to have the opinion that Roos is arrogant and takes the credit for results that are largely due to the hard work of others.

Others like Ross Lyon, Leigh Tudor, John Longmire, Kinnear Beatson, Andrew Ireland, et al.

Based on that, I'm not overly upset if we have to "settle" for Eade or Williams.

[Machsy 2,858]

If he does decide to be coach of MFC, I'll of course tell them that they are idiots and have no idea what they are talking about.

[beelzebub 23,383]

I think Mrs Roos has spoken

game over

(thankgod, now we can someone who's actually interested )

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Paul Roos is off the table for us the moment he announces he is coaching another side, until then we need to keep chasing, if we get Choco or Eade instead it won't be the end of the world.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Last night I was discussing this with my Brother who is a Lions member, he is of the opinion that the lions see Roos as the person to take over from Voss.

He claims that approaches have been made already.

Claims Roos is way more likely to move North from Sydney than South, weather / family reasons etc.

Do not be surprised if he knocks us back and takes the Lions job in October.

Looks like a pretty good feed from your bro OD. I never thought he was coming anyway but now that he's gone North i'm putting you forward as assistant coach to whoever we end up appointing.

At least i'll know he'll have no illusions as to the task that lays ahead!

Oops, i'm being sexist here. could just as well be the first ever female AFL coach they way we're travelling

Roos without Ross Lyon is a less attractive prospect, anyway.

You have a point there. Lyon and Longmire are still at the coal face with continuity of excellence. Roos has been on the sidelines living off past glories for a few years now. Edited August 13, 2013 by america de cali

I want this club to get some credibility not settle for second best which is our last 50 years

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Mark Williams has a very similar record to Roos, has been a coach longer, coached at more teams, and was coaching against the great Brisbane team, so i would argue that Williams is on a par with Roos as the best candidate anyway, plus he is desperate to get the job, unlike Roos.

settling for someone who comes as a part of a succession plan with one eye on the door...........is SECOND best !!

Desperation is not a valid reason to give Williams the job. This club has stuffed up so many times, I have zero confidence that they can make any decent decisions. Lets see what the magic plan is they will sell to us this time.

[Hannibal 5,814]

So because there's speculation that Roos may be linked to the Brisbane job "he's not that good anyway" and "it was really Lyon and Longmire that should take the credit". Speculation from people not equipped to know. And heresay from expert "Geelong" sources.

Classic Demonland.

And a comment totally relevant to the thread everything is running as expected.

I cant see Brisbane ditching Voss unless they had a quality replacement lined up.......

Hird!

Some think Williams is THE choice.. You assume hes second choice etc . Its not desperation to be looking at someone as a serious contender just because hes not the medias favourite

What else can we do?

Mate i'd go as far as saying he is equal first, can you give me one reason why he wouldn't be a better choice than Roos? the swans culture was a result of a coaching team, not just Roos himself, just shows that the selection of the team around Choco would be vital, he has coached a team to two seperate premiership tilts, 4 prelims, 1 flag and beat that great brisbane team.

[Earl Hood 6,101]

I think Roos might like hot humid weather. Me thinks he is off our List of coaching options. Would have loved to have him but he is perhaps a bit too smart to sign up to the MFC basket case.
