K Sheedy at GWS

D Pagan at Scumland

M Blight at ST K

A Joyce at Bulldogs

R Walls cant remember

A Jesaulenko at St K

R Barrassi, One messiah success. Two failed.

T Jewell cant remember

J Kennedy at North

D Parkin at Fitzroy.

True Messiahs

M Malthouse, on the way to fail at scumland?

L Mathews.

D Parkin, had a failed stint at Fitzroy in between.

A Jeans.

We have have less than 30% chance of landing a true messiah. But thats better than what we have gotten for decades. A big challenge ahead.

Great summary adc

 

I think Jewell managed a couple of finals campaigns ( said shakily)

Fair point Old Dee. Having said that, both had the knack of separating themselves from their players performances. MM just gets paid more to do so atm

I am sure you appreciate the joke RtG

But I firmly believe MM will get better results from Carlton.

It took a while to get the price at the Pies.

I still have faith in him.

 

I did get it Old Dee. In truth I can't stomach Malthouses smugness more than any real logic.


We need to find a coach that works best with our list (and rebuild of) first and foremost. The coach with the best track record doesn't equate to getting and building the best of our list. IMO the 'premiership winning coach' mantra is a fallacy. If a coach is good enough to get a list playing regular prelims & GF's but hasn't tasted victory then he is as good as a coach who has won a GF. Surely other things come into it like, injuries, weather conditions on the big day etc. etc. Like big Arnie said on Pumping Iron. 'The wolf climbing the hill is always hungrier than the wolf on top of the hill'.

Williams/Eade/Ratten/Craig out of touch.

Young, contemporary team that are not long out of the game, with a gun assistant as our new coach.

Think about it.

Who says we need an 'experienced' (washed up) coach? If we get a gun name, big personality, the supporters will be back.

Is that you Mark Neeld?

someone see him on a dawn flight at Ess airport ?

Has anyone considered Roos could be a part time pilot?

Or smuggling peptides into Melbourne for our 2014 season?

Yes I know the feeling.

The way he has carried on about the bombers affair is ridiculous.

Should stick to coaching and leave the deep and meaningful up to those who have ability to form a good argument

We have offered Roos $1.5 mill a year according to a Fox Report, which is why the Paddle Pops gave Voss the door..

It's still on kiddies...

How could Brisbane even come close to our offer without the AFL's backing and with a huge debt?

Has Roos stated anything about his motivation to coach and whether money is a big factor?

I had trouble opening the link...so i am not sure of all the details, if anyone else can open it great.

My money is still on PJ to pull this off

It's just like RDB going to Norf in 73...They were a shell

we know nothing about what is really happening.

we are amateur sleuths at best.

if it were me id rather coach us, some of the best key position stocks in the comp

One thing is for certain in my mind.

Paul Roos will coach next year. Where that will be I have no idea but the fact that he will still take calls from both us and the Lions means he's obviously tossing up his options.

My money's on the Lions.

Imagine Brent Moloney's thoughts on karma if they announce Mark Neeld as Brisbane's new coach...


Is still think that if roos coaches it will be us. What better legacy than breaking two of the AFL's biggest droughts.

A senior Player at Melbourne said tonight that he heard that Roos had enrolled his kids at a Perth school.

Has Woosha signed a contract for 2014?

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
