We've beaten out Brisbane. WCE aren't as attractive as us due to tyranny of distance, and the mining boom. In those immortal words;

'RELAX, WE'VE GOT THIS'.

Roos seems to have talked and thought at length about the challenges, history and potential at Melbourne, and how significant it would be to succeed at the MFC. He'll even get huge coin at Melbourne, and the advantage of being in Melbourne over Perth (not trying to insult our WA brethren on here). I can't think of any reason he'd go to Perth at the last minute, it's only because we've been locked in the football dungeon for so long that we'd even contemplate such an absurd scenario.

Wasn't he supposed to be signed by today according to a few people? Just about when to have a presser?

Yes. correct! By the wasy if we edit out all the rubbish not pertaining to Roos in this tread we may only have 20 pages!!

What does the Worsfold situation do to the chances of Neil Craig sticking around next year? I can't imagine that a person of his calibre leaving would be beneficial.

I thought we agreed that anyone that posted those words were to be immediately banned.

About a month ago I called it that Woosha to Brisbane could happen, could well be on the cards. Re: Roos this could be one of the longest waits for Dees fans.

GNF, Is there any chance of WCE hi-jacking this deal?

Weren't the West Aust media buzzing a few months ago when Paul Roos bought a house in Perth.

We can always kill some time and visit Bhutan for the weekend..

Roos is of high integrity, can't see him backstabbing us now, he knows he has got all of our hopes up now.

The rumour that Roos had bought a house in "Wembley Park"?

Wembley Park doesn't exist.

i'll say it again, club staff have not met with/been informed that paul roos is coaching mfc in 2014

No one has said Roos has met with staff only you have been saying it. Basically they have been told that its a done deal.

Leadership group and directors have with Roos.

And Roos is no chance whatsoever to go to WC

I wonder if this will have an effect of the timing of the Roos presser given PJ will realise MFC supporters will have lost the plot?

i feel sick

What time does the Bluey start, we need some confirmation to filter through arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dont worry HH Roos is ours.

I know its hard because it hasnt been official but its basically a done deal.

Sumich, Burns or Voss to WC, wouldn't be Roos. If his family wouldn't move to Brisbane, they won't be moving to Perth. Also, if WC were seriously into Roos as a possibility, they would have been onto it already, at least at Board level.

Could free up Burns as an assistant, can't see him staying there if he's passed up.

West Coast's list doesn't look in as good a shape now - as it did a couple years ago.

Kerr and Cox have a year left in them, Glass is on his way out.

Next year, West Coast will have to fast track their developing rucks for when Cox departs.

Nick Nat is fairly injury prone.

If rumors are true that Shuey is leaving, then they'd want to hope like hell that Gaff doesn't follow him.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    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
