what condition is the old girl JR?

Mint or a project?

Still a project, wyl. When it's finished, it'll be a decent streeter, but not concourse. Might drive her to Perth. ;)

Suspension is brand new and bolted up, paint's off and now I have a blank canvas.

Needs some rust cut out, welding done and I'm refurbishing and rustproofing everywhere.

Having said that, on 3AW Mike Sheahan said that the Roos gig was as good as done.

Matthew Lloyd was excited for the club, but Richo less so. Queried the assistance given, considering the stuff ups of the past 10 years.

Sheahan reiterated Demetriou's words that the AFL needed a 'strong MFC.'

It's getting exciting!!

Old dee, you getting fired up? Jazza?

exciting news

Apparently, Sheahan was seen sipping coffee with Paul Roos this morning. It's a guess but if that's true then his mail is spot on.

I still wonder if Mike Sheehan will join the board. Part Time position.

Could be good for both parties.

The board is a part time position 'wyl'. He does have a lot to offer though I know others think not.

Those worried about the $2m price tag - it is never as high as it is first reported - and we will get 10k lapsed members just from his presence and sponsors will come out of the woodwork to have their name on his left [censored] if he is coaching the club.

He will bring in more than he takes.

I like how you put this because I was choking on the idea of 2mil. but I would think the sponsors would get on board and he would bring dollars in as you say.

i know the Board is part time. That is why i said it.

Mike is still doing part time work. He has a lot to offer in that regard.

this is amazing

its like a dream

Also , $2 million per year sounds like a lot.. but it is actually small biccies when you consider all the extra members and the big time sponsors he will attract.

We are going t go from broke to swimming in money.

oh yeah and.. PETER JACKSON IS GOD

Timmy Watson just said on chan 7, from what he knows Paul Roos hasn't signed yet, but Melbourne are confident Roos will sign. Still not over the line yet guys.. We all know what happen with Ross Lyon last year.

What's the record is history of Demonland for pages on a topic? Scully a or Roos?

Posted

Tom scully would be kicking himself. Good things happen to those who wait :)

Posted

West Coast frighten me. I need them to sign Warsfold already!

They have plenty of money aswel. I think we're home. Can't see the Paul Roos shifting his family arcoss the country.. Roos is a Melbourne boy aswel. Born and breed in Vic.


Posted

Not really, he has six million reasons to be happy with his choice.

Yeah that's true :( almost forgot his on that much

Posted

If Roos comes to the MFC, I feel on balance I could cope with 2013 and the:

Neeld coaching saga.

Watts's on and off form.

Opel sponsorship falling over (don't even raise the Energy Watch crud)..

The CEO debacle.

The president and board conundrum.

The remnants of the tanking unbecoming.

Trengove's tinea treatment.

MC's foot.

Other team injuries.

Our general skill level.

I was watching the open mike with RF on you tube and thought it was interesting RF's comments about how Swooper built on what Barassi did after he stripped all the paint and putty off the team, I'm hoping Roos can build on some edicts laid down about fitness by Neeld and Mission.

I would like to see Peter Jackson standing on the flight deck of a aircraft carrier under a banner that reads MISSION ACCOMPLISED. Damn I have seen that somewhere before.

No worries.

Massive mildly worked 202 with 4 on the floor, rofl.

Those Fords are magnificent, but outta my price range.

Apparently, Sheahan and Roos were picking their best Melbourne team.

Don't think this article really has anything new (is it confirmed that he met with the leadership group)

"Paul Roos close to signing deal to coach Melbourne next season":

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
