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 would be happy with 4 years.

If something goes wrong - imagine paying 4 million to payout his contract after 3 years (especially if we are still financially stuffed)

If it goes wrong what's going to go right? haha this really is our great white hope.

Lock him up for 5, that way he legally can't run when he sees the state of the list up close, until he does something about it.

Me too, watched that clip a number of times such a shock to everybody, loved it.

It didn't seem like the conversation just flowed to that point either, he was determined to let everyone know one way or another.

What time is OTC?

OTC:8:30 tonight. My thinking is Roos will say nothing at all. He will say he hasn't signed a contract. Even though we all think he has I don't think PJ and the AFL would like any announcements to be made on a pay TV station.

I can see both Healy and Sheehan smirking and laughing when Roos says he will talk to PJ later this week and then discuss things with his family.

Channel 7 just said expected to be signed prior to Thursday. Sticking point been Dees want 3 years, Roos 5 years

this doesnt look right.... Id believe that we want 5 and he wants 3....

We are the biggest rabble the AFL has ever seen and we are stalling a deal with the best avaliable coach in AFL.... Over two years..... Not likely....

Would love to hear one of them say, oh you didn't have this chat months ago when the possibility was first raised hahaha

Yep, I can believe that he wants an out in 3 years in case we really are beyond help and his reputation goes up in flames.

On the other hand, you are relocating your kids and your life, might as well do it for 5 years job security and not 3.

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

Of course it will be discussed on OTC... that's a given. But I will be extremely surprised if any more info is given out... just more nudge nudge, wink wink, a nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat etc etc They might even discuss how his wife is interested in pho...tog...raphy, candid photography... know what I mean.

I doubt very much we will be any more enlightened... unless you want to give yourself more credibility by telling us in advance what is likely to be the ghist of their conversation.

I wonder if he will discuss the meeting with the leadership group in any sort of detail, comments from players made me think he was trying to convince them to stay on and keep faith

He met with the leadership group in a secret location on tuesday ( confirmed by nathan jones and neil Craig ) Nathan jones said it was a positive two way discussion about what's required for paul roos coached teams, his views on the team, and Jones said he was excited to have such an experienced coach next year

then saturday there were reports Roos was at the MCG meeting with PJ and powerbrokers ( imo to sign contract )

the media and us are milking the hell out of this, one second he has signed, one second he hasn't and we are playing right into their hands, i have seen many on here say how they are constantly trawling the the radio, tv and all websites trying to find info...just what they want, we just keep coming back to them for more. Clever by the club as well, as we are getting so much added positive exposure before it's even official, and we all know it will flow once he signs, but maybe not as much due to the size of this finals series, but we have made up for it now. right now we are the talk of the town for all the right reasons. Great management.

On AFL360 Robbo just reminded everyone that roos still has not signed yet which is a point allot of us are forgetting or like me not wanting to think about it.

Geraldo did say that the MFC have postponed other coaching interviews that were meant to take place this week.

Both of them did not say anything about the term of contract.

I would tend to believe these two over Chanel 7 as I think they are pretty good in the industry.

I particularly like listening to Geraldo.

If we are beyond help he may as well go out with a sack of money.

If anyone is watching OTC can you keep the non pay tv viewers posted?

Thanks

Lol I don't Gerard was saying all last year that Travis Cloke to Carlton was a done deal.

Had massive egg on his face when he found out he resigned with Collingwood.

We haven't heard a whipper in the media about this..... Then Roos says he is 50/50 on TV.... And all of a sudden there is sauces coming from everywhere? Jeez.... All i believe at the moment is that Roos is 50/50.... I like that this has been kept quiet, its amazing really.... Im not use to it....

Id be over the moon, if Roos decided to coach Melbourne.... Bring in Jurrah and id go the old double membership....

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
