Yes I do, I have stated that before, if it was Leigh Mathews, then I would be doing cartwheels.

Roos inherited quite a healthy playing list from Eade, he had two bloody good assistants in Lyon and Longmire, a lot of the clubs were struggling, West Coast was really the only challenger, yes he changed footy by having role players, but he then got out when a rebuild was on the cards and has been away from the 'frontline' for a while......I will reserve my judgement

Do you try and go against the grain on purpose or something? All year you were telling us everything was going to plan when we were clearly up to our eyeballs in dung, then when the best news that we've heard in arguably decades hits, you're the one person going "meh, I'll reserve judgement" when everyone else is doing cartwheels.

Hi Saty glad to see you are still among us.

The big job is still to improve the playing list without that we are not going anywhere fast.

However Roos will give hope to lost supporters/ members and hopefully help acquire a new major sponsor.

If he can make us competitive in 2014 I will be happy.

Everything above that will be a bonus for me.

Yes I am still here OD, had a daugthers wedding, work and a couple of other things, and as I said before nothing much worth talking about or beating myself up over, looking forward to Sunday to see how Casey go......will do my usual preseason watching with interest, just been there done that as far as footy goes...........

How big of a rebuild could it have been if they won a flag a couple of years later? But I too agree with you. I think Roos is way overrated, in that nobody could possibly be as good as what he's been built up to be. Even Jesus had doubts. Buddha took years to figure out the way to enlightenment. And Muhammed...well let's just stay clear of that area all together. I don't want to get blown up.

But all the same, it's #RoosYourDaddy time!

Looks like we might get an assistant coach under Roos wing and led him into the role in 2-3 years time

e.g. (Buckly and Mick)

No it wasn't rose coloured, with the coaches in the last five or six years you had posters on here shouting from the rooftops about how good a decision they were, then when it goes pear shaped, bang denigration etc.......both Bailey and Neeld had plans, which in hindsight, which is a wonderful thing, didn't work...so they paid the ultimate price, wasnt my decision it was the Club's ...........I support whoever is coach/CEO/Footy Manager at the time, if they go, I move on (unlike some)....Roos will have plans.......if they work good, I will support whilst he is Coach.........I just think he is not worth a cartwheel from me at the moment........the Leigh Mathews comment in another post above being tongue in cheek

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
