Im not.. I was before but he'll be there 3 at least. He hinted at a longer involvement , in another role.. possibly as a Craig type role perhaps.

Im happy with what we have.

Absolutely spot. The fact Mike Sheehan son tim tweeted as early as round 2 about us talking to Roos was also true. AFL phone Roos and put in a case for him to come back to coaching. Neeld was a dead m

To all on here, STOP HYPERVENTALATING! Roos made it very clear that he would not interrupt the celebrations of the 2013 season by formalising his appointment before the B&F. No doubt WC will put

A certain manager of a certain high profile, high draft pick who's contract is up, has told me that it has been confirmed to him by our club that Roos will be coach. This story has played true since

I also believe he will be head coach for 3 years.. He has a habit of talking down his prospects.. And he sounds sincerely excited by the challenge.

I suppose it depends largely on what happens - if the best case unfolds and we are say, in the top 6 or so at the end of 2016 I suppose he would be likely to 'bat on'

One more piece of uncut, confirmed news.

MFC wanted 5 years, but Paul Roos would not commit. However, Paul Roos verbally said he WILL coach beyond 2 years and beyond 3 years if all is going well. Roos wanted an out should admin, board etc fail to maintain the structure and standards he requires.

This should keep the entire organisation in line.

that was the reading I got as well - all along he has been all about having a stable board/admin so I'd say he wants to see that we can keep our [censored] in order before signing on for half a decade. MFC balls in your court.

If Ling doesn't apply for the senior assistant gig then he shouldn't coach anywhere. Guaranteed head coaching job and learning from the grand master is far too good to refuse.

Paul Roos built a culture at the Swans and his legacy remains there to this day. He turned what were previously perceived as ordinary footballers, into ones that played with every piece of talent and raw gut emotion they had. His team played for him, respected, admired and were loyal to him. If he brings just one ounce of that to the MFC and I have no doubt he will and some, I will be very happy.

Understandably, we have been far too negative on here for far too long. Let's just suck this up and back it to the hilt. The flow on affects from this appointment are yet to be witnessed, but I will back it in, the net benefit of the Roos appointment will be substantial and long term.

Get on board.

No more Roos free football for Melbourne FC!!

Great news. He showed a lot of character when he played for Fitzroy, great to have him with our club.

We have Roos, Essendon have Hird coming back in 12 months.

Despite being a troll I am also excited by the prospect of improved culture amongst the players.

It is interesting to contemplate how Roos would be perceived had leaping Leo Barry not taken that mark to win the premiership in 2005. A great copach but no premiership.

"I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope we can win games across the border. I hope to see my fellow supporters and proudly shake hands after a great victory. I hope a Premiership is as incredible as it has been in my dreams. I hope."

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    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
