Gerard Healey and Dwayne Russell confirmed that Paul Roos will be talking to them next Tues. On the same day as the announcement?

He would have OTC on the monday

Why ? Does PJ want it now or does Roos want it next wk?

the AFL would want to get the essendope saga so far our of the public eye as they possibly can.

this week is all political elections in the main...

next week will slide back to sport as the main game... we will shade essendope with our drip feed of announcements IMO. throughout September,,, & then on to the trade period.

Simpson and Burns are have pulled out until further notice, Rocket has re-signed with Pies, from what i've heard Chocco is out

Only leaves Craig and Roos as far as Im aware (and I have no idea on the status of Craig)

i for one am glad that Homer J Simpson & C Montgomery Burns will not be coaching the MFC next year :)

For mine, it's pretty simple. He doesn't want some ridiculous bells and whistles "I am the messiah" thing at the b + f.

He just wants to come in and coach a football club that wins games, and in doing so, establishes a culture of excellence.

I agree, it's part of the Paul Roos coaching mentality, no heroes, one whole perfectly working machine.

If Roos does sign why oh why didnt PJ come into our lives years ago. It could have saved us years of heartache. This man is a genius and has done so much positive stuff for this club.

He goes and gets an awesome coach and makes hard decisions while our last CEO was focused on blazers and bugulars.

You know...I agree but hes really on top of his 'branding'

I simply think he has a decent respect for others as he would want them to have of him.

Craig should probably do the exit interviews also really, it would be strange if Roos came in and said look we've never met but cya later.

I am still finding it hard to be totally excited about it cause of our past fart ups.

When I see Roos in the presser with PJ I will be excited and at the same time relieved.

The article "Roos' eight day deadline" on the MFC website is an odd article for a club to put out with a prospective coach.

Some interesting comments.

He revealed he had discussed the position with family over the weekend, and begun contract discussions last Thursday, but was yet to get into the details such as the length of any potential deal.

Roos met with some Demons players last week, and described them as a "really good young group".

"I wouldn't want to make an announcement at their best and fairest. Their best and fairest is about 2013. "It's a celebration of the players' performances this year it's got nothing to do with next year."

IMO That whole article points to Roos to coach esp with the last sentence looking towards next year and they are discussing contracts but we are melbourne

Robbo still suggesting that the "door is still open", meaning Roos may still back down...Give me a break.

Robbo showed his true colours and non worth as a journalist during the bombers saga.

Selective hearing? Robbo also said that he believes that Roos will take the job!

.... as long as we don't stuff him up for his next appointment, or holiday... I hear its nice up North right around September/October.

He still hasn't signed champagne and Robbo did say he thinks he will.

that fat loser Slobbo saying the door is open means we 100% have got Roos

pop the champagne

Might as well pop it mate, either we are going to be celebrating or drowning our sorrows, might as well get in early.

Fill your bath tub with champagne.

If he signs, soak up life in it.

If he backs out, take the toaster in with you.

Personally I'd rather be conscious when the news comes through

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
