All this Roos talk is worrying me.......All this talk of the messiah ......What if he turns out to be the Malcom Blight of St Kilda fame

What if all he proves is that it is the list not the coach.....

What if it all turns to sh!te .....what the hell do we do then?

I'm not saying that this will occur........But the confidence on here is a little concerning..........

Edit....Spelling

Don't worry Boosdog.

We will start a "it's time to go Paul Roos" thread and he will be gone within 2-3 months!!!!!

We've got this!!

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

Stuart Dew is the Swans "stoppages" coach. if he wants a new challenge he is more than welcome to come across on Roos coat tails

The Swans midfield is everything I want for Melbourne; tough, skilled, organised and not over-reliant on one star individual

Firstly I reckon St Kilda were out of line to sack Blight so early into his contract. This culture of giving the coach th flick at the drop if a hat is pathetic.

But yes what your saying has to be a concern at some level, especially if the asking price is so high. I mentioned it back back MN was coach and people were asking what happens if we keep him and it all turns to s___ again. I countered with wht happens if we sign Roos and it all turns to s___ again?

There's no doubt he has the runs on the board though and you would think even though none have played under him the players would already have a huge amount of respect for him.

If he does come to us then I think we supporters need to be careful about seeing him as the messiah. All that talk comes from fans.

Blight was sacked because he wasn't turning up to club functions, it was as simple as that, he never bought into the club.

The more that Roos delays his decision the more he can get out of the AFL, and let's face it the AFL are the ones who are offering him the role. They want the MFC to be successfully and they want Roos to be coach, he can just sit back and negotiate more out of them before signing

The longer Roos waits the more chance that Craig turns this club around and builds a groundswell of support.

That's how Roos got the swans job when he came in half way through the season.

There is a strong chance that the dees win 3-4 games by seasons end.

If that's the case then Craig firms as coach in my opinion

I've heard the rumour that the deal is done too.

Source has been spot on previously, but admits that at this stage it's more speculation rather than 100% confirmed.

So what you are saying is that someone who has been spot on previously, has speculated that Roos has signed.

To sum up he has guessed.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this or heard it. I was at the games last Wednesday and heard Michael o'laughlin interviewed on sen. During the interview he said he was asked a month or so ago to be an assistant coach. He didn't mention the team. Due to the timing of this request I would guess we were are part of this. They didn't go into it further and maybe didn't even really pick up on the comment. It is very possible that he would come with roos. I am of the belief roos is coming. Of course, I could be wrong.

I have heard a rumour too, nothing has been signed , but both parties are in negotiation.

Same source told me Neeld would be sacked 3 days before it was announced.

Little paper saying AFL will bankroll Dees' bid for Roos. Just sayin'.

The question has to be asked "Why would they be approached and say yes to an offer unles we were a fair way down the track with Roos?

I am starting to think he is already signed, sealed and delivered and this smells like a typical AFL clumsily orchestrated PR campaign. Very similar in terms of leakage and predictability, to the Scully and the Tanking campaigns.

Then again it could also just be the newspaper reporters just makin stuff up.

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?
