And Away We Go!

Roos demeanour on the post show game tonight certainly adds weight to this ROOS IS A DEMON discussion

did he say anything more?

BigFooty has some good trashy reading. A good source says JMac is coming back to Melbourne. An unknown source says Roos put things in place to relocate to Melb in July.

As far back as July?

How very James Hirdesque?

Yep. He said he places a significant weight on what goes down on club blog sites and if he sees one more D'lander suggesting he's about to toss off he ain't signing!

Settle down fellas would ya!

The AFL have said they will not pay Roos but i wonder if they would be tempting him with things like the Priority pick, money to set up his dream coaching panel and everything needed to make MFC a powerhouse again?

Clear shift in his thinking on all of this and has been speaking to Jackson.

If it happens our trade period will look very diffferent.

Watts, Col and a few others may turn up to play against the Doggies.

Peter Jackson is clearly a magician!

Only problem is what happens when Roos wakes up from his trance?

There is also speculation that Swans assistant coach Leigh Tudor is keen to return to Melbourne for family reasons, and could link with Roos.

Former Swans premiership player Tadhg Kennelly has also been mentioned as a possible Demons assistant coach, should Roos take the top role. Kennelly is an assistant coach on Australian international rules team.

Things seem to be falling into place nicely, Tudor would be a fantastic get for MFC, would be intersting to see if Roos would keep any of the current coaches on, Craig and Rawlings have both been quite reasonable for the club, maybe a coaching Panel of,

Roos

Tudor

Ling

Kennelly

Rawlings

Posters need to calm down. You all know what 50/50 means right?

We don't need to calm down, this is trending on the Lions forum, of course people on here are going to get excited.

Why don't you explain to us all what 50/50 is then, yesterday it was close to 0%... I'm excited.

However if you were just promoting people to temper their expectations, alas they be devastated if it doesn't happen, fair enough.

Roos is just waiting for us to get the board right and get everything in order.

Paul Roos knows that his chances of success hinge on a well structured board.

Mark Neeld didn't have that.

There is little doubt that Roos would've outlined to Jackson what MFC needed to do to get his interest.

The Lions were coming from a long way behind us and they buggered up by voicing their desire to appoint a football orientated board.

Roos is purely business, psychology and development and being the narcissist that he is - he would want to be the highest voice of football reason.

MFC has given Roos the structure and it gives him freedom to do things his way, whereas in Brisbane he would've been competing with the most successful coach in the clubs history, a lose/lose.

Jackon on board, check, Roos on board, check ... Walsh next? hopefully.

I really hope this comes off for us as we deserve to have some luck.

I think it's due after the last 7 years from hell.

I was actually thinking he wasn't coming to us and was ok with it then he drops the bomb last night and its got my hopes up again.

My only concern if Roos says no we will all be very disappointed and back to square one.

This is a rollercoster and I am nearly throwing up.

Roosy please just sign and say those 5 magic words "I am the new MFC coach".

And never mind the fact that he could not coach or manage to have a relationship with the players.

That would have helped to.

    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.
