Think, Demonlanders, think! A coach who travels East every second week isn't going to see a lot of his family... A bloke who lives in Perth, isn't going to get the TV and Media options that a bloke who lives on the East coast gets.... They would have to raise the stakes to 2.5 mill... I'll sleep easy tonight!

No wonder we lose so many games.

The players are just like D'Landers.

Collapse under pressure.

I reckon we've had about 50 goals kicked against us in the past 15 min.

Slow it down and control the game. Play it under our terms.

You seem stressed, tired.

Swisse?

Relax, it's in the bag.

Yeah thats not true. In Perth (as I guess Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney) coaches have exclusive deals with TV and radio stations to appear a couple of times a week.

Fringe benefits for coaches outside Melbourne much better.

Worshfold quiting is basically a result of off field problems.

You could see the stress and toll it had taken on him.. he looked very tired and worn out and appeared to have lost a lot of weight.

Roos can't sign for west coast if he is locked up in PJ's basement.

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

Lighten up sunshine... It was a joke.. Lol life must be so miserable for some..

Rumour is Roos has been waiting for post 5000 to come up and use it for his annoucement.

I wanna double like this.

Posted

Oh man, couldn't Meth Toast have waited until after Tuesday to do this? Getting a horrible, horrible feeling

I don't think it was Meth Toast's doing... I think it was Wooshers doing.

Come on guys lets be a little bit confident in PJ and co getting Roos over the line. Burns has done a lenghty apprenticeship at the eagles as has Sumich most recently under R. Lyon...But you never no until the paper has been signed.

Im not confident or unconfident........i just am.

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!!!

Ok,i edited my post,just frustrated with this whole drawn out saga.

He surely wouldn't go west. I must admit, if he were to go let's not hire a coach, let's hire a film director instead. Demonland, a tragedy (or comedy)

The Ross Lyon situation was well documented to be purely financial .

From all reports we have put the big money offer that is unlikely to be bettered

I think longevity had a fair bit to do with it where the Dockers were chasing him, & the Saints were undecided & reluctant for much of the season.

I think it would follow that Lyon would get a better deal at the Dockers.

And the Ross Lyon saga was totally different. He hadn't said yes to MFC, his management were talking to us. Ross did the about flip himself to Freo at the surprise of his manager!

Listening to league teams with David Parkin implying that he felt like woosha had lost the players and quit.

They are all talking about burns and sumich

No mention of roos

this I could believe,,, & if true woosher has off-field issues, then I could imagine the coach could have gone off the 'handle' a few times too many?

the eagles looked a bit 'Off' this season & we here of players looking out of there...

Now is the time to get at Gaff.... see if we can flush him out & workout a deal with the coasters.

Selwood & Gaff would be grand, even if it were 12 months apart.

No announcement on P Roos at tonight's Dees b and f. Tuesday still the deadline. Would take monumental backflip for him to not coach them

He said himself that he didn't want there to be.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
