Gee I wonder what would've changed his mind in the past 12 weeks.. Surely not our on-field performance!?

I was told in June we were every chance, and GNF has said we were right in the hunt many times, it may just be that he hasn't wanted to declare an interest publicly until now,

backing the club in to finish the job and announce it now.

Absolutely spot. The fact Mike Sheehan son tim tweeted as early as round 2 about us talking to Roos was also true. AFL phone Roos and put in a case for him to come back to coaching. Neeld was a dead m

To all on here, STOP HYPERVENTALATING! Roos made it very clear that he would not interrupt the celebrations of the 2013 season by formalising his appointment before the B&F. No doubt WC will put

A certain manager of a certain high profile, high draft pick who's contract is up, has told me that it has been confirmed to him by our club that Roos will be coach. This story has played true since

What they say during the season is just theatre. Scully proved that. Their public comments are akin to politicians 'answering' questions. They speak a lot but say nothing.

I think the surest sign we've landed Roos is Eade re-signing.

why not.

can be no announcement whilst Craig at helm.

That would i imagine finish at around 7pm Sunday.

Monday is good to go ?

Is that a rule BB that we can't announce anything with Craig in charge or just ethically you wouldn't?

Interesting that he talks about starting to see a vision of what it would look like, i'd suggest he had done that some weeks ago when he put up the article about Melbournes 2014 round 1 side and talked about how we were a very attractive challenge,

i'd say we are right in the box seat if it's not done already!

It's very exciting news but this is Melbourne and I am trying to temper my enthusiasm.

I will be absolutely pizzing my pants when I see him in a presser with PJ being announced as new head coach but until then trying to keep it on the down low.

Surely though he would have known what reaction he would have caused by saying what he has said.

U would think he wouldn't say that and get all our hopes up if he wasn't planning to take the job cause that would be cruel. Like playing a cruel joke on the unpopular kid at school.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
