He did say he had not discussed assistants as he said it would be wrong to lead them down the garden path if he did not take the job.

Yet we have approached Cameron Ling and Adam Simpson for the hell of it, makes sense...

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 love Demonland.

I know when my family is overseas without me, I hate making huge life changing decisions when the possibility exists they may get caught up in a completely unpredictable extreme weather event.

This is my nomination for post of the year.

.... not quite sure of your tone, but I think with the club having taken some Heavy hits lately in the media,,, we'll want to make as much payday out of these signings as we possible can & keeping it simmering in the papers & electronic media gives us a trickle feed of winning little messages going about the public.

after the election, I think would allow the announcement to maintain some more momentum & then we can keep adding to the footy dept as the weeks roll on.

As much as I agree that Roos is a definite, there are many alternatives to why we would have approached the two. The most obvious is that they are top notch assistants and even without Roos we would love to have them on board.

Just saying what he said.

The club may have by themselves, but Roos (I believe, cant remember exact words) indicated he had not talked about them or wanted the club to approach them on his behalf.

Yeah i didn't mean it as though i was doubting you sorry, i highly doubt the club would approach assistants without input though.

Mate, surely they would have discussed this a number of times, he would know exactly what her position is on this, he would just be using that to buy himself the time to announce it when it suits him and pj imo, he basically said what we all thought he would realistically by the sounds of things.

I thought that as well. Say next Tuesday to buy you time then Friday or Monday.

I'm sorry mate but are you seriously asserting that one of the reasons both Roos and the club don't want to announce a signed contract yet is the chance his family might have some kind of accident whilst on holiday?

You can imagine it. The end of the best and fairest... Suddenly the lights dim... Soft, brooding ambient music... Then a light rises at the back of the room. Opera voices - the voices of Angela begin... From the rooftop the messiah cometh. Lord Roos has arrived to commence his first sermon.

I dont usually watch Footy classified. Who is the kid who is asking questions to J.Riewoldt? He looks about 14 years old and weighs as much as Morton. Does channel 9 support child labour?

And that's exactly why it won't happen.

The appointment will be seen, and is, cool, calculated and methodical. No messiah crap.

Roos wants nothing to do with B&F - said its a time for celebration (sic) by 2013 players.

I like this - hope he takes the gig.

Matthew Lloyd also said a couple of weeks ago that he had from an insider at melbourne, that it was Craig and Adam Simpson as assistant.

He just wants to be able to get a word in on FC!

Having said that, all you worriers, relax, he's committed, PJ planning the announcement to be at optimal time.

I could get work done - if my computer wasn't always checking the papers for the latest.

    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

    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
