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

Almost positive he will join us. If he didn't want it he would just come out and say it.

2 points ... Wants the MFC B&F to be about the previous year (Good idea I think, Who wants to start their term whilst everyone is remembering the horror of this year)

Also could it be that he is still sounding out assistants and may have an announcement of him and his assistants on the same day ?

Am disappointed! Will shoot my source, but then they will need a new presenter! Was guaranteed that all would be made clearer tonight but........... There are however some sticking points, ie: points of difference. The deal is done! The way it is to be announced is the sticking point!

It's funny that Roos says its hard to give a running commentary on it but he was the one who brought it to a head on Friday night which is interesting.

He also said that next tues is dee day unless PJ wants to know earlier. So that could mean he has left the door open for an earlier decision whether its good or bad.

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?

No, I think i was saying there would be 10 reasons why not to announce Yet.

that was just to illustrate that anything can happen in this world, & until they are all ready to do it, then it shouldn't happen until all the t's are crossed, & all the i's dotted.

it may be that the kids aren't totally sure just yet & a trip like this could help centre ones mind.. we don't know whats going on in their family over a move interstate...

& we don't know what the AFL & the club have up their sleeves at this point.

I would want all the AFL assistance signed for first, before the announcement.

I don't think he has signed yet.

I take him absolutely at face value and he is yet to finally decide.

I suspect he has told PJ he wants to give his family time to think it over whilst they are on holidays and if that timing doesn't suit then club can move to its agenda (as if they would). I bet the trip has been planned for a while and he doesn't want to disrupt it in any way.

We will know next week but it could still be a no.

The biggest thing that I gleaned from it is that his time at Sydney has soured, and he is looking to be away from Sydney.

I think he will come, I think the presser will be next wednesday.

This next week will kill half our members

I'm dead inside already, I'll be the one of the Walking Dead this week..

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?

Seen on a 5.30am flight to Perth????

I reckon he's given us his commitment, but not signed on yet.

I think I'm the same as most people on here... I'm pretty sure it's a done deal, but won't rest easy until its announced... That's one thing we are use to from this footy club and that's getting our hopes up only to be left disappointed... We we don't get roos its gonna be a very long off season...

Still needs to discuss with wife and kids whom are on holidays until Tuesday. Won't make a discussion until then..

He hasn't heard of Skype? Someone send him an i-pad pronto! Actually better make that 2...Qantas express to Tami!

Does anyone here know if we can pre install a Roos look alike avatar that just keeps repeating.... "Sorry but i'm not taking no for an answer!!??"

Glad im not the only one who takes him on face value.

Somehow im still not as confident as everyone until i officially hear he has signed.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
