WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

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.

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.

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.

    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

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
