WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

speaking of the blues i wonder if we could get brad green back as an assistant?

[Akum 2,660]

I think that would be one of the planks Roos would want fixed, as well as our alignment in the VFL. He would want certainty that we can turn around our inability to develop our kids.

* so footy manager who may still be employed elsewhere?

* president?

* vfl development

* afl assistance

* board structure

* assistant coaches

its Not about money alone, or desire to coach.. I'm sure its about which team gives him the best excitement/challenge, & security of having the right support people in Key positions to achieve success.

... and the beauty of this is that should we get Eade or Williams, having all this in place boosts their chances of success too.

No, he's not what we need as an assistant. We need some people with experience who know a lot about winning and don't come from the Melbourne culture.

Good bloke but has done nothing to indicate that he'll be a good addition as an assistant.

[DemonOX 8,581]

Heard on SEN around lunch today that there is supposedly a bidding war between Pies and Blues for Neeldy....

Desperate times, I'd be going for Vossy over Neeld as an assistant in a heart beat!

Probably pay him with Monopoly money!

Can we get a 'dislike' button please?

[DemonOX 8,581]

It's funny I have just seen a replay of Roos comments on fox footy tonight and he says he is warming to coaching again but still not sure he wants to do it.

Strange isn't it now Voss has been given the flick and suddenly he is warming to coaching again.

What next week he might be more keen to coach and then shock horror in a short time he is announced the new Lions coach.

I may be on the wrong track here but me thinks he is warming to the lions coaching job.

Just now reported on fox sports Roos warming to coaching the Lions.

[Ted Lasso 17,320]

voss is sacked and we have a new president two things he has stated he had an issue with.

[dee-luded 2,958]

Not a fan?

Ran his race as a coach, but knows footy.

yeah he does, but he had his time & he made his choices...

he could have stood up a shouted from the roof tops for more assistance, but no. And when he finished, our list was weak & aging, with a poor culture eroding away.

His time, was good in the first few years, & then just treading water after... survival mode, no growth to speak of & poor development.

his favourite players were mostly bruise free.

no thanks. & so many clubs have fallen over his feet for his sig as head coach... we just keep plucking assistants instead of head coaches.

[dee-luded 2,958]

speaking of the blues i wonder if we could get brad green back as an assistant?

what about robbo, interchange man. & warwick capper as footy manager.

[dee-luded 2,958]

No, he's not what we need as an assistant. We need some people with experience who know a lot about winning and don't come from the Melbourne culture.

And a couple who drool over the thought of hard physical clashes... ones who won't blink running head on at an opponent, with the ball in the middle.

hopefully thats true

I went cold on him weeks ago when it was obvious he didnt have the passion to coach

[Canplay 575]

Good - hanging around wishing for Roos to bless us with his presence was starting to get a smell about it - and was showed the "messiah syndrome" that MFC has been too long guilty of.

Appoint Chocco now & he can bring Dusty Martin with him too.

[beelzebub 22,762]

and we move on

was just a ruse all along.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

and we move on

was just a ruse all along.

He still hasn't "definitely ruled it out" but i think we should move on and seek out the best available.

I'd be happy with any of the three mentioned and I'm sure the players and Craig would welcome the decision.

[DemonOX 8,581]

At least on face value Roos is being honest in saying that he is not 100% committed to coaching.

It would have been a lot worse if he had taken the job and not be committed as this is what we need in bucket loads.

Someone who is 150% committed to coaching the MFC.

IMO both Williams and Eade fit the bill.

[Whispering_Jack 28,134]

If it's true that Roos is being honest then isn't it time we were honest with ourselves and asked whether we wanted someone as coach who doesn't really want to coach?

[beelzebub 22,762]

just getting up to speed there WJ ? been asking that all along hence my preference wasn't him.

[deeflog 679]

Good, lets move on and appoint one of Williams or eade

[What 18,810]

Good, lets move on and appoint one of Williams or eade

wont happen til their teams are eliminated, unless they let them leave early which wont happen as they are both right in the premiership hunt

[beelzebub 22,762]

[DemonOX 8,581]
