WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Spot on Robbie people seem to want to have an experienced coach but then doubt their achievements

Eade has the runs on the board at two clubs not many of those about at present.

PS how is the trip going?

I'm thinking Eade he has had his ups and downs and if you look at the history of the teams coached under him you will see that its not all perfect; he's been fired a couple of times but overall his record is good. Williams had good players and a good club with a great history behind him whereas Eade had taken over clubs that had been down for many years.

Overall I'd say Eade.

Really good od we still have another 3 weeks to go.

Haha, I caught that also. I wonder whether it was tongue in cheek comment, or a genuine slip of the tongue...wait and see I suppose.

Wouldn't be the first time that GH had a slip of the tongue moment on live TV. Edited August 27, 2013 by DemonOX

Thats called fishing Sue. But it supposes much. You then require potential candidates ( assistants) to be prepared to show their cards before all else.

id suspect any Coach to be worth his salt would privately be sussing out his running mates.

Its getting mighty close to D day . Youd think someone would have been called back for a possible 2nd chat ?

something's very odd..lol

No bb, that's just Melbourne.

[beelzebub 23,313]

you have a point

[sue 9,096]

It is possible, but what if the coach turns around and says that's great but.... i don't want any of those people as assistants,.....

Then you've just cheesed of a couple of potential assistants who wont be at your club anyway.

Yes BB, it is fishing, but I don't think you'd be asking for anyone to show much of their cards. Wouldn't go further than 'are you in the market, yes or no'. Just speculating - of course the actual coach would drive all this when in place, whether or not that has happened already.

I would be surprised if it wasnt Eade, with Simpson or Ling,or both as assistants/future coaches in waiting.

I've been thinking about this type of setup with Eade and Choco and I don't think they'll go for it.

1- Eade has come out and said that he has the fire in the belly to coach again. I just can't see him being interested in being a head coach for two years, then handing it over to Simpson/Ling in a couple years time just when we're turning it around.

2- Choco I believe would be in the same boat as Eade, if appointed he'd want to see it out.

3- Simpson/Ling would want a succession plan, otherwise why would they take it up.

[DemonOX 8,782]

The way it's going I would be surprised if we named our coach before Christmas!

[beelzebub 23,313]

I have a funny feeling in my waters that we may even know this coming Monday....either that or I need to wee

Geez I hope for your sake you have a wee before Monday

I can imagine that the AFL will force us to announce our new coach to draw attention away from the currently unfolding disaster at Essendon and get it off the back page. (Probably still be on the front page though)

Eade is not going to put his reputation on the line for two years of pain only to see someone else take credit for the turnaround.

If that happens he will be seen as a failure and the replacement as the Messiah.

btw I'm agreeing with you not arguing against what you said.

An announcement of priority picks would do that fairly effectively.

On the contrary, they managed to slip through the interchange rule in the middle of the peak of the Essendon saga... convenient.

Yeah, but they will be hunted from pillar to post on the interchange rule all next year.

[DemonFrog 1,354]

I say bring back 20 players on the field with three rucks.

No interchange.

Place kicks.

And points don't count.

Oh and the players all wear silly outfits, that should bring the Ladies to the game.

yesssss now your talking premierships

we could draft THADIOUS MONTGOMERY CLARK 111 from the 1946 team,he would place kick from 80metres

[Wormburner 674]

Boring, can they just please make the right decision like today

Maybe to pass time until a coach/es are appointed, we should have a wager on the date on when it will be announced:

My money is on Tuesday Sept 17th (just a wild guess).

Any takers?

wednesday september 4 i reckon, the morning after our last game when Craig has finished up and gives them a couple of days to consider things if we happen to have a win ( no chance in hell craig gets the job for mine though )
