WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

The AFL knows exactly what it is doing in this case. They want us up and running, so that it doesn't keep costing them money. Crap team equals poor attendances equals no interest equals poor TV ratings equals less revenue for the AFL. It is very simple. A strong MFC means more AFL revenue.

Brayshaw should shut his trap, as he knows this very well and also North has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of AFL handouts over the years.

I would just ask him one question. "Next time you play a home game against the MFC, do you want a big crowd or a small one?"

A sauce told me that some in the AFL would complain publicly about our compensation but internally wouldn't give a tinkers cuss.

Anyway I'm having dinner with Paul Roos' accountant tonight but out of respect to people who are sick of "sauces" I'll be as quiet as a mouse!

(I'm serious)

I get the feeling Jack has already agreed verbally to join Malthouse, now he might be trying to get out of it.

This cannot happen, clubs are not allowed to sign players who are still under contract. If it was true that a verbal agreement had been made then it's just verbal, Watts can do whatever he wants.

Agreement. The word is AGREEMENT.

That thing you wrote is not a word, it's a modern distortion of a noun created by some clown who does not know his own language.

I have nothing to add on the Roos matter. It is clearly done and all that is left is the timing. We need something else to post about, preferably in real English. (Not

having a go at you PsD - just try not to murder the language again, pls.)

From the Oxford English Dictionary:
† aˈgreeance Obs.
[a. OFr. agréance, n. of action f. agréer: see agree and -ance.]
The act of agreeing; = agreement in several of its meanings.
1536 Bellendene Cron. Scotl. (1821) II. 333 King Johne‥to eschew the present dangeir, maid aggreance with his prelatis. 1549 Coverdale Erasm. Paraphr. Hebr. iii. 6 If we dooe styll abyde in the concorde and agreaunce of the house. 1559 in Strype Ann. I. i. App. xvi, The diversity of our fasting setteth forth the more the agreeance of our faith. 1599 Jas. I Basil. Dor. (1682) To Reader, What aggreance and conformitie he ought to keep betwixt his outward behaviour‥and the vertuous qualities of his minde. 1714 Milbourne Traitor's Reward 19 In agreeance with God's laws.
Some clown from the sixteenth century, then.

Due to Mad Monday celebrations for the players they have decided to put it off to tomorrow. Watch Fox footy tonight if you can

Watch what on Fox Footy? AFL360? On the Couch? What exactly should we be watching and what will be said? Obviously it won't be an announcement of his signing and a press conference would not be announced until the day... so what exactly should we be looking/listening for? A furtive glance from Gerard directed at Roos? A nod and a wink from Mike directed at Roos? Give us a hint.

Personally, I think you have no idea... after all, it's not as if they weren't aware that mad Monday was coming. My thought is that it will be announced on Friday or Saturday, based on recent history (Bailey and Neeld appointments).

Recent history means nothing as the club was run by absolute morons.

PJ will do things his way.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
