WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Featured Replies

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.

 

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.

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.

 

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

so wait roos is back on again? screw it going to the beach, someone give me a call when all this is sorted

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

Edited by 13thFlagIsComing

haha sorry, over the cold bendigo weather

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

does this mean Adams is going to Tigerland?

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.

Only 6 more episodes to go......

Yeah, yeah. But is she available!

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.

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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • 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.
