    did he say anything more?

    BigFooty has some good trashy reading. A good source says JMac is coming back to Melbourne. An unknown source says Roos put things in place to relocate to Melb in July.

    Yep. He said he places a significant weight on what goes down on club blog sites and if he sees one more D'lander suggesting he's about to toss off he ain't signing!

    Settle down fellas would ya!

    The AFL have said they will not pay Roos but i wonder if they would be tempting him with things like the Priority pick, money to set up his dream coaching panel and everything needed to make MFC a powerhouse again?

  • Quote

    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.

    Peter Jackson is clearly a magician!

    Only problem is what happens when Roos wakes up from his trance?

    Haven't been this excited in a long time.

    He'll have signed a contract and moved to Melbourne

    Posters need to calm down. You all know what 50/50 means right?

    There is also speculation that Swans assistant coach Leigh Tudor is keen to return to Melbourne for family reasons, and could link with Roos.

    Former Swans premiership player Tadhg Kennelly has also been mentioned as a possible Demons assistant coach, should Roos take the top role. Kennelly is an assistant coach on Australian international rules team.

    Things seem to be falling into place nicely, Tudor would be a fantastic get for MFC, would be intersting to see if Roos would keep any of the current coaches on, Craig and Rawlings have both been quite reasonable for the club, maybe a coaching Panel of,

    Roos

    Tudor

    Ling

    Kennelly

    Rawlings

    We don't need to calm down, this is trending on the Lions forum, of course people on here are going to get excited.

    Why don't you explain to us all what 50/50 is then, yesterday it was close to 0%... I'm excited.

    However if you were just promoting people to temper their expectations, alas they be devastated if it doesn't happen, fair enough.

    Roos is just waiting for us to get the board right and get everything in order.

    Paul Roos knows that his chances of success hinge on a well structured board.

    Mark Neeld didn't have that.

    There is little doubt that Roos would've outlined to Jackson what MFC needed to do to get his interest.

    The Lions were coming from a long way behind us and they buggered up by voicing their desire to appoint a football orientated board.

    Roos is purely business, psychology and development and being the narcissist that he is - he would want to be the highest voice of football reason.

    MFC has given Roos the structure and it gives him freedom to do things his way, whereas in Brisbane he would've been competing with the most successful coach in the clubs history, a lose/lose.

    Jackon on board, check, Roos on board, check ... Walsh next? hopefully.

    No one can fight the alluring draw of Peter 'Super-Mild' Jackson.

    I really hope this comes off for us as we deserve to have some luck.

    I think it's due after the last 7 years from hell.

    I was actually thinking he wasn't coming to us and was ok with it then he drops the bomb last night and its got my hopes up again.

    My only concern if Roos says no we will all be very disappointed and back to square one.

    This is a rollercoster and I am nearly throwing up.

    Roosy please just sign and say those 5 magic words "I am the new MFC coach".

    And never mind the fact that he could not coach or manage to have a relationship with the players.

    That would have helped to.

    • 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.
