WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

[dees189227 12,367]

Hopefully tomorrow we can put on a show against the fogs and we dont get caned so he can see there is something there.

[Goodvibes 3,596]

I don't think anyone is expecting dramatic on-field improvement next year just because Roos is there. I for one expect us to be very much bottom 4.

I'm expecting dramatic on-field improvement.

I'm expecting dramatic on-field improvement.

Exactly.

if Port can come from the cellar to the finals with Hinkley we can do the same with Roos and co.

Mind you i cant see Port sustaining what they have, whereas with Roos we will be set up to be successful long term

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

As I read this thread, I literally have a tear in my eye. It feels like my soul is finally returning to my body, which has been ripped apart by this bloody club for too long.

Where there was darkness, there is now light - so much light, I feel like we're 10 metres away from the bloody sun.

I can't believe this is happening. I am just so bloody pumped.

Thank you PJ. The first pint of scotch will be in your honour!

Your a clown with no footy Knowledge, we have no midfield and Port did.

You're*

[Machsy 2,858]

It's not Roos alone, it's the domino effect that comes with signing him.

Watch pieces like Walsh, Ling, Simpson, Tudor, Stone, Kenelly all fall into place shortly thereafter.

(Not saying all will, but a fair chunk of that).

The only shame is Craig.

I have a lot of love for that crazy old bloke with the short shorts and long socks.

You have just summarised what every demons supporter will be feeling right now. Ladies and gentlemen we have a heart beat.

hey clown

we will get a midfield this off-season

And we are already stacked with KPP talent, unlike Port were

Just a heart beat mate, the clubs won 2 games, all Paul offers is hope and thats what we all desperately need.

Ezekiel 37 : 1-3

Thats been said since 2008, you bag the hell out of JW just like i did, and then your in his corner because of PR, personally hes trade bait and why change that because of a new coach, Taylor Adams for JW, get it done PR.

[jumbo returns 6,737]

XU-1 spec, or more JR?

No mate, just a cruiser.

202, 4 on the floor.

I've just come in and read more posts and Ron's moved me the most.

MFC, four more members have just paid up.

That's what I said a heart beat. It's more then we have had in a long time. No we are not top 4 but Roos gives us legitimacy.

[Return to Glory 8,411]

For the life of me, I cannot understand those who want to pour cold water on this. Great news is great news. I'm sure they're will be plenty of opportunities to have a whine down the track. But ffs, let's have some cheer when it's been so lacking. Go Dees.

I'd expect a substantial improvement from the dismal Mark Neeld "it is what it it is" days... but certainly wouldn't expect any miraculous climbs from the bottom 4 until we get a midfield.. and that won't happen overnight. We're a long way from even the middle of the road sides at present + Roos gameplan and mantra's will take time.

For sure CFH i agree, its a glimmer of hope.

MJT, are you not stoked? I am.

One thing next year will mean all bad results are purely on the players. Roos has the runs on the board. He could easily explain at a press conference that the playing group are spuds and we will all nod and agree as well as the media. Are you sure you want that Mr Watts? The days of being unsure if our coach is any good are over.

[Akum 2,660]

I may or may not of called out Paul's name....

RooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSS!!!!!!!

And removing the 'coach is no good' excuse may well be the making of some of our players.

[Pipefitter 2,149]

Mike Sheehan has gotten my convinced. His mail is always better than anyone else's.

Look at Freo today.

12 of their best out, arguably the second best coach in the AFL, yet they got smacked by a cellar dweller.

Roos will bring respect, reputation and leadership to the group, until a few drafts have passed under the bridge.

Neeld could never shape that intangible, or was poorly advised on how to achieve it.

Nathan Jones would still play just as well if I was coaching him. That is his character. Watts wants to hide behind not being developed right and looked after. There might be something to it but 2014 is the time for no more hiding.

[Grimes is Great 183]

Anyone got a link to the Demon side Paul Roos put in the Herald Sun a couple of months back?

Would be interesting to have a look now.
