WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

[Redleg 40,832]

I would say Roos is Brisbane bound. Pearce Hanley just signed a 5 year deal and Roos has some strong Irish connections willing to join him in the sunny state...

Not according to Roos, OTC monday.

[Machsy 2,858]

My money is now on Roos to not coach anywhere.

I think he's enjoying the attention, and reassuring himself with the mantra that he is not stringing anyone along, he is merely doing his best to be absolutely honest beyond reproach.

It's not as honourable as he might like to think.

[Redleg 40,832]

I think it was Footy Classified Monday where Hutchy said Roos was on $1.3m already, with all of his different jobs. He is on TV, a motivational speaker, a clomnist and does some lesser level coaching, that i know of.

If that is true, he clearly doesn't need the money.

If he is not 100% motivated to coach, end of story.

[beelzebub 23,313]

All the attention probably hasnt done his brand any harm. His rate will be steadily climbing as new negotiations come around.

Im still trying to get my head around what our next step is in terms of coaching. Seems to be morphing

My money is on Paul Roo's to coach Brisbane. Especially if this new rumour of him resigning from the Swans Academy is true.

• He has definitely admitted the Brisbane coaching job has interested him, purely due to his ties with the Lions.
• He also stated he will not move till both his boys finish school (Tyler has exams in 2 months, then all finished)
• He did tell Malcolm Homes he was not comfortable discussing coaching roles while Voss was still in the position.
• Michael Voss gets stood down by the Brisbane Lions, for no major reason except 'change'.

I am more a fan of Craig than Eade, though like most, I will support whoever the club decides on.

paul roos will not be a coach in 2014, now the question is who is option 2 for us and the lions, imo its eade and williams, craig might be a good fit for brisbane?

now that would be leftfield, craig at the lions!

Gerard Healy on 3AW has just claimed Neil Craig is Brisbanes preferred alternative to Roos.

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

oh really

i still have nightmares about the address he gave to the group just prior to getting belted by 143 points

i reckon my mother would be a better senior coach

Roos has told the Swans Academy he won't be continuing with them.

"During last night's game they said Paul Roos would not be with the Swans Academy next year ....."

Can't find an official link yet, but this info is taken from a Swans forum:

Plot. Thickens.

Now Stuie, because I have a serious "man crush" on you I'll thicken the plot further. Two weeks ago I was told by a 40 year member of the MFC that Roos as coach was a "done deal''. The source is a sensible level headed bloke who has been reliable in the past. Make of it what you will but, for the moment, just keep it between us.

Houston, we may have a problem . . . .

This whole Roos coaching saga has more twists and turns then a Breaking Bad episode

[Ted Lasso 19,284]

"Screw it going to the chalet" would have been more appropriate.

haha sorry, over the cold bendigo weather

[dee-luded 2,959]

No way they could fit him in their salary cap unless big buddy leaves.

does this mean Adams is going to Tigerland?

[Grimes is Great 183]

Russ Howcroft said in Hassatt room on Sunday that new coach will be announced in late September, also said Roos told MFC exactly what he has been telling media, "no at the moment". Didn't know if MFC had spoken to Ling.

Yeah, yeah. But is she available!

[dazzledavey36 54,266]

I dont believe in the whole Rodney Eade job is already a done deal. Rocket mention he only had a 10 minute meeting and wasnt sure if the MFC were gonna call him back again. Seemed that even he doesnt know if he will get the gig.

10 minute meeting and no call back? Sounds more rigorous than our previous appointments.

Voss had 40% win-loss record and hasn't made finals for the past four years. Favourite son or not results speak volumes.

[Ted Lasso 19,284]

i tend to agree, there were better coaches than voss out there.
