[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Leave Clint Bizkit out of this!

Good memory there, Nash.

Ever since he wrote that double page article on the list i have been quietly confident.

Why else would he do it?

It may well have been that analysis that sealed the deal...

I did not see that wyl any idea where I can get it?

I found it a bit embarrassing seeing a foundation hero copping a whack for sharing info

Interesting that is exactly the same feedback I was given by my friend on the board.............................. who I may add went very silent on Roos after being adamant we were going to get him in May or early June. Clearly the board and administration smartly kept their mouth shut. This may have been a test......... so to speak. Certainly the old board and admin would have leaked this all day everyday and the deal would have been lost. The point is that no body knew how close things had got, despite obvious and clear on-going communications between the club and Roos. Well done to the club (assuming no last minute fcuk up!).

I asked my "friend" who was going to be coach a month ago after Roos had sort of said no publically, and he told me they were still confident in getting Roos. I reported this here at the time but it seemed few believed. I had even lost confidence.

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 man walking as soon as Schwab got the sack. AFL got onto PJ and basically told him to start and look for a new coach as soon as he was appointed.

I was also told Roos has already courted 2 assistant coaches from current clubs and could be announced during his press conference.

The leadership group were on a massive high after meeting Roos and couldnt wipe the smiles off there face. Word basically got around to the players and there was genuine excitement around the place and lockeroom. PJ spoke to the players and told em to keep it on the low down until announced.

RobbieF is correct in staff have been told. Excitement first but alot of questions going around in who will be moved on when Roos comes on board.

Taylor Adams has spoke to the club. Doesnt seem interested but about to change. The Scott Selwood rumour is true. West Coast will play hardball.

Just on the leadership group meeting. The players were in absoloute awe of him. They all raved on how he has this presence and auroa about. When he talks there is a pin drop in the room. Roos put forward his coaching methods and what he had installed for them. Players were blown away.

RF's bookeeper: the best insider since Chris Judd's grandma

I might have missed something but what is the story with Judds Grandma? Seems like she has built up some sort of folklore lol

[jabberwocky 2,301]

Who vouches for you guys?

I vouch for myself. I masturvouch.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

at the time of the Judd charade, some cretin got on here and said he had heard from Judd's grandma that he was coming to the MFC.

It has since been used a gag for people with their dubious 'inside' knowledge

Good memory there, Nash.

...and a little bit disturbing. Was it your avatar or something?

[CBDees 3,162]

Just hope that Todd Viney is retained as list mananger rather than the rumour of Alliaster Lynch. Of all the old guard Todd Viney is the last one I would like to see as a casualty of Roos coming in [and in fact I think that he can do the job better].

Would be a joke if they got rid of Viney after the brilliant job he did in last years draft and his success as an assistant at Hawthorn.

Not to mention he is a true Demon.

You lost confidence in your own posts ? yikes !

To be honest I'm happy with anything that prevents Lynch commentating games on TV. Maybe we can find roles for Brian Taylor, Luke Darcy, Tony Shaw, Dwayne Russell, Hamish McLachlan and Basil Zempilas.

Dwayne Russell, Dwayne Russell, Dwayne Russell..oh yeah..and Dwayne Russell.

That is worse than losing by 10 to 15 every week?

I can handle about three years of winning before the method will start to worry me.

That's the thing, OD. Good coaches continuously update and adapt their game plans, otherwise their teams get left behind. Roos will do this.

Agreed, and I am hopeful he will coach to the strengths of the team.

[S.R.J 418]

Couldnt care if we won every week by 1 point. I just want to feel we are alive and not dead in the ground after round 5 like we are most years
