He did say he had not discussed assistants as he said it would be wrong to lead them down the garden path if he did not take the job.

Yet we have approached Cameron Ling and Adam Simpson for the hell of it, makes sense...

I love Demonland.

I know when my family is overseas without me, I hate making huge life changing decisions when the possibility exists they may get caught up in a completely unpredictable extreme weather event.

This is my nomination for post of the year.

.... not quite sure of your tone, but I think with the club having taken some Heavy hits lately in the media,,, we'll want to make as much payday out of these signings as we possible can & keeping it simmering in the papers & electronic media gives us a trickle feed of winning little messages going about the public.

after the election, I think would allow the announcement to maintain some more momentum & then we can keep adding to the footy dept as the weeks roll on.

As much as I agree that Roos is a definite, there are many alternatives to why we would have approached the two. The most obvious is that they are top notch assistants and even without Roos we would love to have them on board.

Just saying what he said.

The club may have by themselves, but Roos (I believe, cant remember exact words) indicated he had not talked about them or wanted the club to approach them on his behalf.

Yeah i didn't mean it as though i was doubting you sorry, i highly doubt the club would approach assistants without input though.

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.

I thought that as well. Say next Tuesday to buy you time then Friday or Monday.

I'm sorry mate but are you seriously asserting that one of the reasons both Roos and the club don't want to announce a signed contract yet is the chance his family might have some kind of accident whilst on holiday?

You can imagine it. The end of the best and fairest... Suddenly the lights dim... Soft, brooding ambient music... Then a light rises at the back of the room. Opera voices - the voices of Angela begin... From the rooftop the messiah cometh. Lord Roos has arrived to commence his first sermon.

It's like at the Olympics at the end of the closing ceremony, the next host gets to do a presentation on how good theirs will be in 4 years time.

Caroline Wilson said Paul Roos will be coach MFC.

Matthew Lloyd said somebody very close to him knows Roos will coach.

Announcement next Tuesday

Holy crap Caro is very positive about Roos to Melbourne. None on FC cared about the cost of getting Roos either.

Footy Classified crew reckon it's done. But then again, so does everyone.

And she gave Brayshaw a veiled swipe for whinging about the assistance package.

I dont usually watch Footy classified. Who is the kid who is asking questions to J.Riewoldt? He looks about 14 years old and weighs as much as Morton. Does channel 9 support child labour?

And that's exactly why it won't happen.

The appointment will be seen, and is, cool, calculated and methodical. No messiah crap.

Roos wants nothing to do with B&F - said its a time for celebration (sic) by 2013 players.

I like this - hope he takes the gig.

Matthew Lloyd also said a couple of weeks ago that he had from an insider at melbourne, that it was Craig and Adam Simpson as assistant.

He just wants to be able to get a word in on FC!

Having said that, all you worriers, relax, he's committed, PJ planning the announcement to be at optimal time.

I could get work done - if my computer wasn't always checking the papers for the latest.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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
