Good bloke.

[Jaded No More 58,676]

Totally agree, still in the process of deciding, talk up the list abit, really have to be 100% sure, still things that would need to fall into place, had a great talk with leadership group, great bunch of young men..

some sort of dribble and then hopefully a presser tomorrow morning

Hahaha, still need to sort things out.

Tomorrow "yep, sorted it all last night"

Well he went from i 100% don't want to coach to i am 50-50 in what a day?

[mitch 127]

AFL360

Why 360 over OTC? Wouldn't hearing what Roos has to say be more revealing then what Robbo or Gerrard have to say?

Hopefully he can turn our fortunes around as quickly as he changes his mind.

Good bloke.

Need work to pay for the demands of the kids! Must be a bad parent!

[wattsup 470]

We want 3 years Roos wants 5 my god if that's all that's holding it back give him the 5 or minimum 4

[Ted Lasso 16,968]

Why the hell wouldn't we want to sign him for 5 years?!?!?!?!

[Jaded No More 58,676]

We want 3 years Roos wants 5 my god if that's all that's holding it back give him the 5 or minimum 4

We want 3? We are high.

Five years is the minimum time it will take to turn this rabble around.

Give him 5 years Melbourne. You can always sack him mid-contract, it's our signature move.

[beelzebub 22,269]

Why the hell wouldn't we want to sign him for 5 years?!?!?!?!

Couldnt agree more.. My concern with him was that hed duck out after a couple. He wants 5 give him 5 ffs !!

[What 18,810]

Dont believe what you hear on the news

5 years would have been agreed to right off the bat

you really thunk the MFC is in a position to play hard ball with Paul Roos? LOL

And do you really think PJ would be stupid enough to scare him off at the last minute?

Channel 7 are talking out their ass, they are as clueless as anyone

[Ted Lasso 16,968]

Jesus tapdancing christ if that is true we should start a sack PJ thread! hahaha

if he wants 5 years i'd lock him up, 5 years of a premiership coach would be a terrible outcome for the club... haha

I know, I'd hate to possibly be successful for 5 whole years. 3 is enough.

In fact, I'd also offer Frawley a one year contract next year.

P.S.-didn't some spud of the Gillies/Pederson persuasion get 3 years? That alone should guarantee Roos a 16 year contract.

For god's sake don't tell Roos pedo has a three year contract, he will run for the hills hahaha

Nup kids,dog,work.mrs!!

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

30 yr contract, the name of the club is being changed to PAUL ROOS, just what I heard guys source is usually impeccable

[Jarka 767]

True..................

GWS and GCS were given special permission to sign contracted players when they joined the competition. That has since been closed.

[DemonOX 8,541]

Nup kids,dog,work.mrs!!

Your mrs must be one bad women k!

It makes me laugh how Channel 7 and others have talked about what is being proposed and how there are sources or sauces and the one thing PJ and others have brought to the club is the ability to do business negotiations in private. this is so unlike previous years. This shows a level of professionalism that gives me great hope for the club. It makes it harder for us supporter mind you but the saying is so true that lose lips sinks ships. Fremantle's poaching of Ross Lyons is a perfect example of getting the business done without having running commentary or it being played out in the media. The outrage many felt over the way it was done was from the media and i reckon the outrage was more in that Ross and Fremantle did it quietly with out any one working it out before they wanted.

That's what makes it interesting that Paul Roos was the one to break the news and not MFC which to me speaks volumes about his intent. Loved the reaction of Eddie and Jason on the panel. Can't wait to hear the official news if and when it arrives.
