WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Recommended Posts

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.

I thought Shuey and Gaff had signed earlier in the season. Selwood I thought was the recent query?

When Roos says he's now 50-50 to coach us,i think we could be reading this wrong.

It could also mean he's 50-50 to coach either Melbourne or West Coast.

I wouldn't rule him out of the WC job if Woosha doesn't re-sign and his best mate Rossy Lyon is over there.

This is just the sort of thing that could happen to us at the 11th hour,the Eagles swoop and we're in the crapper again.

Just Thinkun

I tipped this 5 days ago.

3 nights ago On The Couch he said he'd make a decision on Tuesday.

That's giving West Coast a deadline.

He's gone!!!

He has history with Brisbane, and still said no, he publicly declared an interest in the MFC job, met the leadership group, most of the media and demonland have been convinced it's a done deal, clearly we are still way out in front if he hasn't signed already.

why would HE cause this media circus if he wasn't going to take the job? he isn't that sort of person.

if he won't move to Brisbane he certainly won't move to perth.

I think another example of credibility rating may have been required...

Bhutan? Seriously? Of all the places...< Hoping Selwood's review was a trigger point for Worsfold quitting.

Bhutan is actually one of the few places I want to visit before my time is up...just me and my camera.

It's one thing to be paranoid, it's another to abuse someone based on your own delusion.

If you watched the WC presser, Woosher caught them by surprise - I'm thinking he may be talking to Lions, I'm also believing WC when they say they didn't see this coming and haven't spoken to any candidates. Their words were along the lines of "we have more respect for Woosher than to have spoken to any prospective coaches before tomorrow"

we are safe guys, or if not, its time to follow Storm

I hope PJ doesn't bend just so that a few worried supporters can be put at ease. He's on top of it.

even if he just said something like, " we look forward to Demon supporters having some very good news coming their way in coming weeks.

Is there anyone more resilient than a MFC supporter? Or anyone just a numb?

Dees supporters are like one of those M C Escher drawings in that we are going up while we are going down.

I hope they give some sort of indication at the Bluey just to put everyones mind at ease.

Can you unsign once you have signed?

Coming weeks? My heart won't last another 3 - 4 days!

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
