I still believe Roos will coach us......1.5 Mil per year is hard to turn down, and i doubt the Lions could go anywhere near it.

I believe the Lions could. It's a two club state and Roos would bring out the old Fitzroy crowd and turn it back into memeberships not to mention potential sponsors getting in on the Paul Roos hype.

    I agree, if I was Paul Roos I'd find the prospect of coaching MFC more attractive than coaching Brisbane.

    Perhaps that is my bias shining through, but I just think we have some real talent coming through and with the prospect of a PP we are well placed.

    Brisbane will possibly lose Black and Brown and that will set them back next year and I don't see real rapid improvement after that.

    I don't rate Brisbane as much as most and I think Voss overachieved last year - and that has ultimately been his downfall, Brissy are at now - where they should be.

    paying an exuberant wage

    compared with my apathetic wage?

    Better if we can announce our Footy Manager.

    If the president is in place as soon as today we can really step up our chase of Roos

    Walsh?

    got a feeling all of this has been in the pipeline for a month

    for once weve got aprez with the gift of the gab and smarts

    patience and a coldee will get us to look at 2014 with hope

    Wouldn't it be great, new Prez stands up in front of his first Prez lunch on Sunday, and just goes I have a few announcements to make, 1 we have a new footy manager Walsh, that will be working closely with our new coach Paul Roos. Whack whack the hope comes back.

    Not going to happen but we must have some sort of good news this season

    Walsh?

    crossed fingers :)

    if not walsh, could we get the rev in as footy manager?

    I think that would be one of the planks Roos would want fixed, as well as our alignment in the VFL. He would want certainty that we can turn around our inability to develop our kids.

    * so footy manager who may still be employed elsewhere?

    * president?

    * vfl development

    * afl assistance

    * board structure

    * assistant coaches

    its Not about money alone, or desire to coach.. I'm sure its about which team gives him the best excitement/challenge, & security of having the right support people in Key positions to achieve success.

    I sense we will be making announcements at the end of the season, first week of September. & some later.

    I doubt the Lions would have sacked Voss with just 3 rounds to go if they didn't have their man 26. Might be just a matter of securing support from the AFL for additional funding now. Roos may well have already agreed "in principal" to coaching them, albeit subject to dotting enough i's and lining his pockets with the right amount of folding stuff/contract terms etc.

    True, I reckon the Lions have already have their man, why would they sack Voss when he was doing a good job and not have an immediate replacement? I do think Roos has already agreed but wanted to give it some time after sacking Voss cos he is man of integrity and didn't want to step into the Lions position on the same day as Voss got sacked.

    The Rev has already ruled out coming back to the Dees so no chance.

    Heard on SEN around lunch today that there is supposedly a bidding war between Pies and Blues for Neeldy....

    Desperate times, I'd be going for Vossy over Neeld as an assistant in a heart beat!

    I agree. The funniest part was that when I heard it I was in the car with a blues supporter. The look on his face was priceless....

    You can just imagine how much s+#t I gave him.

    Neeld will be an excellent addition as an assistant coach for any team. Look at what he did with Collingwood.

    He clearly just wasn't ready for the senior role. He may still become a very good senior coach in the future and it's not a surprise that his services are sought after imo.

    neeld i reckon has the tools to be a good senior coach second time round

    There may be a flip side to Neeldy going to the Blues...

    Jack watts will be thinking no way will I be going there now :)

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
