At the West coast he gets all the above plus a better team to start with, warmer weather and a better place for Mrs Roos.

I think I know who I would pick!

I don't think WCE would be able to match the money the AFL could offer...

Plus with us he gets to reside in the best city in the world!

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

It is west coast we are talking about here.

They have more money than they can spend.

If they want him they can equal any bid we put on the table.

Now here is an idea perhaps with Roos is not all about the salary level.

Roos, Craig, WIlliams and Eade are all Very good coaches, we are in a good position to land a quality experienced senior coach

although we have PJ and the AFL determined for that to be roos!

would not be surprised if it is already a done deal hashing out finer details

I hope that any deal the club is trying to broker with Roos is going to include an arrangement that will allow him to continue his work coaching at the QBE Sydney Swans Academy... I understand that this is one of his passions and would hate to see it become a show stopper.

Edit: I know it probably seems like a conflict of interests, but is it something that might be an obstacle in getting him to coach us?

mjt - I suggest you go back and read over some of your own posts.

BB... I agree, but my question was what will we do if it becomes a sticking point.

Yeah, yeah, I know... we all say things we later regret, but the question as to whether it might be an impediment still remains.

I really hope we get roos. But not only because of the footy (although that will be nice). From a purely academic point of view we actually have a chance to test sine of the seemingly outlandish "if we get x or membership will increase by $Z,000" claims that hear so often! We will learn for sure the impact of picking up the coach on membership.

I think I know who I would pick!

he also gets an arseload more cash to throw around the football department, and a sold out home crowd advantage every 2nd week

WCE = the haves, MFC = the havenots

If roos is smart he'll make sure the afl pay to help him succeed ie draft picks, cash etc. He won't want to be hamstrung by only paying 95% of salary cap, he'll ask for picks to help propel us up and make his job easier. Every advantage in a dog eat dog world.

That is, if he decided he wanted to come.

As much as I would like Roos as coach I just can't see it happening.. I think he is pretty happy doing his Academy and media commitments and I think his wife will get the last say in moving to Melbourne as she loves Sydney. But people are saying its a done deal etc based on what? even today he is still saying he is not interested atm and I take his word on it as I think the AFL are in to his ear big time and the money that been rumored to be on offer will be too good to refuse but his heart would not be in it.

He has not said "I do not want to coach the MFC next year."

Once he says that we can all start to build the bridge. Until then, the charade continues.

not having a go at you specifically, but I have read so many comments like this from various posters.. how the F can somebody make statements like this as if they are a member of Roos' immediate family.. or some sort of wizard that can read minds through a television set

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
