WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

You get the feeling we may have told him he wouldn't get the gig and the Lions did likewise.

maybe he looked up & saw the writing .. ... ...?

Has Roos vacated the Sydney Academy position already or does that happen at the end of the home and away season?

He was coaching them at training on Thursday night

I'd say it's Choco,

Craig would be announced right away if it's him, what's the point in waiting and holding out?

Eade is out

Roos said no

Williams can't be announced until Richmond finish finals.

Williams or the slight chance Roos changes his mind.

can't see us choosing any untried coaches.

 

You get the feeling we may have told him he wouldn't get the gig and the Lions did likewise.

That's not the feeling I get.

He's had two stints at coaching dating back nearly 20 years and is now at a great club with a plum role. At his age it makes sense. I just reckon he's thought things through and decided he's had his run and has now got a great gig.

Leigh Tudors name just keep popping up.

(and I don't mean Sid Barrett on The Bogan Show).

Christ I hope that mail is wrong.

I think if we had of gone to him and said 'Rocket' we want you then he would be on board but he doesn't want to put himself out there now. As you say he has a plum job on good money.

Depends how you define untried. Leigh Tudor is not lacking in experience at AFL level.

Up to the coaching panel. Wouldn't be ruling out anyone myself, including Worsfold - or Craig.

It's not going to turn around in a season or two though, no matter who we pick.

Didn't Eade say he had a 10 minute informal chat with the club?

If that's the case then neither side is serious.

 

Josh Mahoney said at a function that under the new rules they are not allowed to announce a new coach until the day after the grand final if that person is currently employed at another club.

so craig could be announced now.. however Roos and Choco we would have to wait.

Roo'''''''''s doesn't work for another club does he? So there would be no reason to wait.

So if correct that tells me it's either Chocco or Craigy Boy.

I've had a short informal chat with the club as well... & I've had longer chats to.

& for what its worth, I wouldn't bother him.


Apperently Mark Williams didnt have a good interview with melbourne..

Warwick Capper, with Mark Jackson as assistant coach. It's the only way forward for mine.

Id be thinking come 9.00 am Monday there be no impediment to announce the new coach.

Seriously, there is NO way Roos is coaching us.

Just seriously guys. Seriously.

Seriously!!!!!

R u serious?

Seriously!!!!!

R u serious?

I heard them on the wireless last week with Mark Fine....Jacko is still sharp as.

Warwick was never smart, but could take grabs!!!

If this happens I will poke out my eyes and cut off my tongue as that would be less painful!

So all we are now lacking is a midfield coach and one for the backs. Any thoughts WYL?

What posie did Ricky Nixon play?

Frank Walker has a high Profile.....


Leigh Tudors name just keep popping up.

yeah, and he would be an assistant for us

Not a chance he will be our new coach unless Peter Jackson and Glen Bartlett are both liars

Edited by hogans_heroes

So just the one more. Racking my brain.

Seems all a bit sus to me.

After watching Rocket on afl360 he was keen as mustard to get a senior coaching role. Now he is pulling out. Something does not add up.

We wouldn't have told him we have someone cause he probably would keep quiet about it so there is something going on.

Maybe we have the coach lined up and said to him he has not made the cut and given him the opportunity to pull out to save face.

No one bloody knows we are all guessing. This is where I wish I was related to PJ

Bugger.

    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.

    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.
