Doesn't want to be announced at b&f.. Said that night is about 2013 not him.

Wait, now he is talking about when he wants this announced?!

Who cares Paul, WHO CARES?!

We can announce it at 10pm on Saturday night, while the rest of the country is waiting for election news for all we care.

he said, if pj asks him to make a decision this week, he will... could be tomorrow, wednesday, friday who knows!!? one other comment at the start, when mike said "you're the only that knows" and then roos with a laugh said "possibly" insuating everyone already knows it's done

Why would he be thinking about when he wants it to be announced if he wasn't well and truely on the side of doing it?

huge positive.

Posted

Didn't stuie mention Wednesday for a presser?

I think that was Wednesday this week... Roos is talking about next week.

Posted

Didn't give much away.. Healy and mike believe it's a done deal.. Roos played a straight bat..

Stated they have NOT talked contract terms

Wants to wait until wife comes back (Tuesday) unless PJ and co want a answer sooner.

PJ contacted him to talk to the leadership group. (Which the players asked to meet Roos)

Stated his still 50-50

100% coming

Already signed and sealed

The announcement will be made when PJ and Roos want it to be made, and that was never going to be on some crappy pay TV footy show on Monday night

His wife is ruining my life.

Can't he call her to discuss this?

I'll pay for the phone call.

Mate, surely they would have discussed this a number of times, he would know exactly what her position is on this, he would just be using that to buy himself the time to announce it when it suits him and pj imo, he basically said what we all thought he would realistically by the sounds of things.

His wife and eldest son are going away to Bhutan (sp?) and will come back and have a decision for him on families perspective ie: convenient excuse to not say too much.

He thinks the B+F was about this season and therefore it's not appropriate for him to be there - although he didn't quite say that, he said more he said it in a way that if he rocked up to the B+F he wouldn't look stupid.

Very tactful but also very comfortable. Not a man hiding something, more a man just confident in his decision making and process.

Posted

Assuming he is honest and it's now about his family imo what he is saying is he is 100% convinced he wants to coach us, he just needs to know it wouldn't be putting them out,

Lol Gerald said to Roos when your coaching Melbourne next year what player from Sydney will you take. Thought about it and said ill let u know at the end if the show.

Playing the media, Jesus H Christ.

He is killing me here.

He's done, he's coming. Unless something happens, and his poor wife will be blamed...

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.)

That's how real words come to be: either through misuse of an existing word or the recurring use of a non-existing word. Look for "agreeance" in a dictionary near you soon.

So we think he's buying time as instructed by the club and by his own desires? but in fact, he has already signed, got a house in Toorak, and his wife and kids aren't in Bhutan they are actually in Bakers Delight buying bread down at Richmond?

Or a thread. As in this one. Dictionary excerpt a few pages back...

Maybe used his signing bonus to send them to bhutan?

Roos just nodded along and without flinching answered the question.. :)

Honestly I think he 's coming. I'll be floored if he pulls out now.

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
