WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Recommended Posts

what condition is the old girl JR?

Mint or a project?

Still a project, wyl. When it's finished, it'll be a decent streeter, but not concourse. Might drive her to Perth. ;)

Suspension is brand new and bolted up, paint's off and now I have a blank canvas.

Needs some rust cut out, welding done and I'm refurbishing and rustproofing everywhere.

Having said that, on 3AW Mike Sheahan said that the Roos gig was as good as done.

Matthew Lloyd was excited for the club, but Richo less so. Queried the assistance given, considering the stuff ups of the past 10 years.

Sheahan reiterated Demetriou's words that the AFL needed a 'strong MFC.'

It's getting exciting!!

Old dee, you getting fired up? Jazza?

Apparently, Sheahan was seen sipping coffee with Paul Roos this morning. It's a guess but if that's true then his mail is spot on.

I still wonder if Mike Sheehan will join the board. Part Time position.

Could be good for both parties.

Saturday September 28.

Paul Roos to parachute into the MCG on Grand Final Day carrying the Premiership Cup. He will be wearing a MFC blazer, smoking a pipe and have Cameron Ling sitting on his lap.

C'mon MFC.... make this happen.

Those worried about the $2m price tag - it is never as high as it is first reported - and we will get 10k lapsed members just from his presence and sponsors will come out of the woodwork to have their name on his left [censored] if he is coaching the club.

He will bring in more than he takes.

I like how you put this because I was choking on the idea of 2mil. but I would think the sponsors would get on board and he would bring dollars in as you say.

The board is a part time position 'wyl'. He does have a lot to offer though I know others think not.

i know the Board is part time. That is why i said it.

Mike is still doing part time work. He has a lot to offer in that regard.

this is amazing

its like a dream

Also , $2 million per year sounds like a lot.. but it is actually small biccies when you consider all the extra members and the big time sponsors he will attract.

We are going t go from broke to swimming in money.

oh yeah and.. PETER JACKSON IS GOD

Timmy Watson just said on chan 7, from what he knows Paul Roos hasn't signed yet, but Melbourne are confident Roos will sign. Still not over the line yet guys.. We all know what happen with Ross Lyon last year.

West Coast frighten me. I need them to sign Warsfold already!

They have plenty of money aswel. I think we're home. Can't see the Paul Roos shifting his family arcoss the country.. Roos is a Melbourne boy aswel. Born and breed in Vic.

If Roos comes to the MFC, I feel on balance I could cope with 2013 and the:

Neeld coaching saga.

Watts's on and off form.

Opel sponsorship falling over (don't even raise the Energy Watch crud)..

The CEO debacle.

The president and board conundrum.

The remnants of the tanking unbecoming.

Trengove's tinea treatment.

MC's foot.

Other team injuries.

Our general skill level.

I was watching the open mike with RF on you tube and thought it was interesting RF's comments about how Swooper built on what Barassi did after he stripped all the paint and putty off the team, I'm hoping Roos can build on some edicts laid down about fitness by Neeld and Mission.

I would like to see Peter Jackson standing on the flight deck of a aircraft carrier under a banner that reads MISSION ACCOMPLISED. Damn I have seen that somewhere before.

No worries.

Massive mildly worked 202 with 4 on the floor, rofl.

Those Fords are magnificent, but outta my price range.

Apparently, Sheahan and Roos were picking their best Melbourne team.

Don't think this article really has anything new (is it confirmed that he met with the leadership group)

"Paul Roos close to signing deal to coach Melbourne next season":

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
