WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS


timmyo64

Recommended Posts

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!!

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'.

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.

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

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.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
