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.

    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.

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

    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?

    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

    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.

    • 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.
