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

I said a long while ago in another thread that PJ could end up being a Melbourne great, I go shot down...

If he gets Roos and Walsh I think I'll start a thread for apologies... :P

If you do, nobody will visit it. We'll all be on the champagne and bananas thread.

I thought that was the coffee and banana bread thread? Anyway, I would like to also remind everybody that this is the great ocean road thread :)

I think PJ is more of a turnaround specialist and will probably hand over the reigns at the appropriate time.

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".

DO... Luck?! We don't deserve any luck, we become lucky by putting the right people and structures in place. Jackson from the outside appears to be doing that.

Will this lead to Roos coaching us.. Who knows but if it falls through then a few fans will be even more demoralised and that leaves us with a Williams or a Voss or Knights from the experienced coaching ranks... Not as "pleasurable".

Pessimist much... Yes I'm a MFC supporter. :)

Whisper is that Cameron Ling as an assistant is part of the package.

Shite, our coaching panel will be a better footy team than the one they're coaching.

I have framed a market for the heck of it

Eade 2 / 1

Craig 4 / 1

Roos 6 / 1

Williams 8 / 1

Voss 12 / 1

Harvey 15 / 1

Worsfold 30 / 1

Ratten 50 / 1

Rest name a price.......

My preference would be Neil Craig with some strong assistant coaches who could transition into the role in a couple of years such as a Lingy, Leppitch, Simpson

Time to reframe the market methinks

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.

Most of those comments are straight from the pages of this thread. Utter plagiarism.

These developments are entirely consistent with what I have been saying for 3+ Months.

Melbourne has been in discussions with Roos since R2.

Melbourne in confident Roos will coach from 2014.

No decision will be made until admin, board etc are in place.

No decision will be made until after AFL assistance is confirmed.

The AFL wants Roos to coach Melbourne

None of this should be a surprise! Roos is very short odds to coach us. I say $1.20 would be a fair market.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
