WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Recommended Posts

Just watched the press conference, loved how he kept reinforcing 'what's right for the MFC' and talking about talent in the list and realising it, I reckon Watts will find something and stay. It also sends a great message that the coach is not about putting heads on sticks as an example but fostering belief. That said I'm such a sucker for this bloke I'd buy the Sydney Harbour Bridge if he was selling it.

Understand what u r saying but he didn't sound like he was trying to sell us anything unlike the two previous trainee coaches we have had.

That's what I liked.

Big man crush on this dude, hope Ox doesn't get jealous!!!!!

Am tipping training reports are going to be very popular over summer, in fact I think I just want to hibernate until round 1 2014, anything between now and then is irrelevant even the boxing day test.

Was at the game last night and had the privilege of sitting next to about 18 Melbourne boys. I asked why they were all there and was told that the new coach wants us to get a feel of what we should be aiming for.

God I love Paul Roos.

P.S: Jesse Hogan is one shy big man.

already i get the impression that PR might just get a few of these guys to walk hot coals !! Never was going to happen before under MN. Such was the way.

Game is so much between the ears, so much played on belief . Seems the tide is turning.

Just listened to that buffoon Robbo on SEN. He really is a sniper. Doesn't take a position in regards to his own club until he sniffs which way the wind is blowing but is very quick to have a crack at Roos appointed for two years and priority picks. The bloke is a popularist of the highest order. Whilst I'm having a rant, what's with the revision of history in relation to Robert Walls on that station. If I get taken down an all encompassing robert Walls love in one more time I'll spew. If they're so determined to reminisce about Wall's past at least add some honesty. Perhaps get the opinion of the bloke he got other players to beat up. Amen.

Whether you like Walls, or not, he doesn't sugar coat anything. Even about his own past as a player who sniped.

I take your point BH. It is more the sycophants around him that wear thin. I do stand by my assessment of Robbo though.

I like Robert Walls....says what he thinks.....The only reason they laud him is that he is going to France to live for the next 2 years.......And I like all the old stories When footy was footy and not about athletes.....

Alright, yes I cracked it! He's not so bad. I tied him into my annoyance of Robbo which is increasing weekly.

We can all look forward to the Dees being in the news for the right reasons since the appointment of PRoos! Watts and Sylvia will stay, G Walsh to sign on (after the finals), and then leading into the drafts the positive player movements to the Dees! Exciting times!

I'm not sure that we'll keep them both

I also reckon we'll win 4-6 games next year

Roos' impact will be felt a few years down the track, not next year imo

From all reports Sylvia loves the club and i reckon he will stay. He'll love the opportunity to be part of something on the way up and might even get a couple of finals of of it at the end of his career.

Watts needs to stay if his "waiting for the coach" comments had any truth to them. He will look like a massive hypocrite if he leaves.

I expect both will stay.

That's strange. I've only ever heard Robbo talk in favour of us getting a priority pick.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
