True - you can see it that way if you want.

I just don' see Paul Roos as that kind of bloke.

Whats the point of "waxing lyrical"? why would he do that?

What if he's got Woosha's job???

what if Woosha is coming East??? to a club near you, or one in the Finals?

What if a premiership coach is moving on?

what if the merry go round is a secret... how would you keep the speculation quiet?

    AAP are reporting that Brisbane have given up on Paul Roos as their new coach. Apparently chairman Angus Johnson said that Roos ruled himself out last week due to family reasons.

    Depending what those family reasons are, that may rule him out for the MFC job too - unless his family just don't want to live in Brisbane.

    I don't want Craig as head coach, although would happy with him back in his role director of coaching/ assistant role.

    I am concerned with the imminent investigation into the doping scandal revolving around Melbourne. From previous media leaks it appears Craig (and obviously Neeld), it would be disastrous if he is investigated or punished while coaching the club.

    The stated reason was moving the family away from Sydney.

    Voss is going to be a great senior assistant. (reckon we may snare him)

    Hopefully can turn our midfield around... maybe even bring a mid or two from the lions?

    I just wonder who will be his boss? Roos for mine.. if not, Eade.

    In an open letter to members, Lions chairman Angus Johnson confirmed Roos had told him he wouldn't be shifting north to replace the sacked Michael Voss.

    That means the recently-appointed sub-committee formed to find the club's next coach - which includes Leigh Matthews - must scrub the most sought-after man in football from its wish-list.

    "On Paul Roos, he contacted me midway through last week and informed me that, due to family reasons, he would be unable to relocate to Brisbane and was therefore ruled out as a candidate," Johnson wrote in his letter to members.

    "I have a good relationship with Paul and our discussions were always honest and open."

    The only experienced coaches are the ex-coaches? You are surprised at that?

    I meant coaches that have been fired - not all coaches are fired - some need a break and some move clubs (Lyon, Malthouse, Bomber Thompson etc.)

    I just can't see us poaching a coach like Carlton or Fremantle - we are always left with the scraps because a. we don't have balls and b. no serious non washed up coach (successful current or previous coach - Roos) wants to join us.

    Good people get fired.

    It doesn't mean they are 'washed up'...

    I think you have been somewhat brainwashed by a football media industry that thinks that whenever some Board decides you can't coach their club anymore, you can't coach anymore.

    Eade, Craig, and Williams have done things as AFL coaches and have built lists, and clubs into strong units with an excellent culture.

    I want Roos but I don't for a seconf buy-in to the nonsense that Eade, Williams, and Craig have lost whatever they once had.

    I wonder if I am the only person on this planet that thinks Matty Knights would be a good coach. He got shafted at Essendon by Thompson and Tird but employs a good offensive style of play which I happen to think would be good at Melbourne. For the life of me I can't understand the infatuation with Roos. The Swans played some of the most boring football under the sun when Roos was coach and Longmire has improved it a little bit. Anyway thats just my take on it.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
