Yes the basket looks smaller!

cast your mind back to when he wrote that newspaper article on us... Anyone else think, maybe just maybe if all the rumours about him being signed were correct, was this his way of hiding his excitement about the job without coming out and saying ive signed...

ive also wonder y neil craig hasnt applied.. always stating certain things need to happen first... r those things Paul Roos declaring his not interested in the melbourne job?...

What exact jurisdiction or power do the AFLCA have. If a guy is getting a promotion it's up to him how he handles his current employer. What a load of trash and I don't expect any club to follow those rules. Trade and preseason period comes up very soon so the earlier you get your coach in place the better. I hope Melbourne have a coach in place before prelim final week

team for 2014.

Coach - Roos

Senior Assistant - O'Loughlin

FB- Dunn, McDonald. Terlich

HB- Grimes, Frawley, Garland

C- Toumpas, Viney, Trengove

HF- Howe, Watts, Jurrah

FF- Garlett, Clarke, Hogan

FOL- Gawn, Sylvia, Jones

int - Tapscott, Mckenzie, Blease, Kent

What was healey's slip the other night?

Interesting tonight on 3aw (before Roos comments) Caroline Wilson said she had not given up on the idea of Roos endeing up at MFC. She also said that Leigh Tudor was definitely moving back to Melbourne but hadn't heard where he was off to.

My only fear is that West Coast hasn't decided on their coach for 2014 and they have a bigger cheque book than us!

God, please let it be true... I was on Rocket's bandwagon as I thought Roos was a lost cause. If he is a cause again, put him up at no. 1 on our hit list!

I too am hearing the dream ticket of Roos, Tudor and Walsh is on.

Excuse me while I pleasure myself...

Roos with Tudor as senior/next in line, along with assistants like lingy, Micky o and Kennelly, plus the stability of Geoff Walsh as footy manager makes our field setup as strong as possible. Get them in and announced early and melbourne becomes far more desirable destination come trade week which is the most important thing

We cannot afford to lose Peter Jackson. Ever.

What was healey's slip the other night?

apparently there was vision of malthouse going nuts in the coaches box, they were all laughing bout it and Healey said something along the lines of and ur getting back into next year roosy...

My question is why would he say this now?

doesn't seem like the sorta guy to give hope where there is none, blushed when ( not sure who it was ) said this will be the biggest thing since barassi leaving

knows everyone will think this is a done deal, but why not wait til monday and just make an announcement?

recruits, contracts, memberships, & the bluey as mentioned one would think. as there is only one match tomorrow, & we have to have other players start tinking green with envy, about the Red & Blue.

time is of the essenc3e.

now for those sponsors, where did you say they were hiding?

Bb I hope you are not still driving!

Now go and have a good lie down you are going to explode with joy.

On second thoughts get out the single malt.

driving, I'm dribbling, frothing at the mouth... I think I may need a calming Ale.

I felt Craigs tone had changed abit as coach the last two weeks, perhaps he has been informed?

No they don't we have the AFL's wallet Y

Maybe not, we do have a reputation for being able to contain ourselves.

ah you good catholic you... just drop them a line in the post.

Excuse me while I pleasure myself...

How does a "Chook" pleasure himself??????

As per AFL new rules, any employed coach regardless of his club's standing is unable to announce a chance in roles until after the grand final. It was written into the new CBA, and is part of the Coaches Union new rules.

If we were doing something with Tudor, like some above mention we would be unable to announce it until September. Maybe because of this, or whatever path we're doing Roos is calmly positioning himself so that all know he will be the man for the job, to appease the Melbourne supporters, but no big announcements will be made until they announce what assistants will be coming with him/ if we have a big name senior assistant. That couldn't be announced till later, so maybe we'd have to hold off till than.

Certainly interesting scenario.

I personally think it's far from a done deal. I do commend Roos for being brutally honest in this whole situation.. I would not be angry at him 'teasing' us like some suggest; quite frankly it's bloody nice to hear some honesty in our game, and to hear him explain how he's gone from no interest and 12 weeks later the nervousness he feels about should he dip his toes into the job was very interesting viewing. If he doesn't take the job, just in that interview he's spread the world to the AFL world that the MFC is no longer irrelevant. For that, Paul you've given me hope again.

t's & i's no doubt....

take the down covers off the bed, its warming up.

Clear shift in his thinking on all of this and has been speaking to Jackson.

If it happens our trade period will look very diffferent.

Watts, Col and a few others may turn up to play against the Doggies.

pleasure, how does he feed em, those girls?

I heard from a reliable source that if Paul Roos signs i will be happy beyond words.

Paul Roos on Melbourne

An old article but it does make me even more excited at the prospect of a Roos-led Demons outfit.

kento you've already said that.

What part of 'private conversations' don't you understand?

we have a prospective coach who is very serious about ethics, & doing the right thing by others... & their feelings etc...

you didn't need to be so explicit. dobbing everyone in. thats what i'm getting at.

Point taken DL, I'll delete my posts. I never thought of that, just wanted to share some joy

"Jack Trengrove"

That's okay. Under Roos he'll just be referred to as "Trenners".
