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.

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

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

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.

suspiciously like smoke and mirrors lol

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

anyone who chooses to watch AFL 360 must be insane

terrible show hosted by 2 absolute tossers

Sorry I can't watch either. I meant the Paul Roos one, OTC

True.................. 011112-Scully-Trengove.jpg

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

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.

    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.
