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.

    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

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

    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.

    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 :)

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
