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.

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

    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 . . . .

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

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
