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.

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.

  • 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?
