I love the idea of locking away a sponsor and doing both at once. Imagine the free advertising if Roos signs and they hold the press conference at a Range Rover dealer and Paul jumps out of a Range and onto the podium for the presser. Cheap and tacky - of course, but worth an absolute bucket of cash to Range rover right there. In fact get Paul to drive the Range onto stage at Crown (I presume) for the B+F and get it going right there. Do it Thursday night live on the footy show, then it's Range Rover live to air on the footy show all free advertising for Melbourne as well.

Oh god someone make me CEO I'm like Cameron Schwab but freaking awesome and without the whiteboard. First hire would be Peter Jackson and Deputy Vice CEO to run the day to day small stuff as he has been doing.

This is hilarious. You likely drunken genius.

I am still seriously liking our Chances, if his family were straight up against it he wouldn't meet pj or the leadership group.

This may be way off but..... The potential consequences of waiting on Roos to make a decision - Eade pulls out (already happened), Craig accepts job elsewhere, Choco says 'if I wasn't a serious candidate in the first place why would I be interested now' etc. etc

Craig said in the Presser, that the exit interviews start on Wednesday. You would expect the coach to be involved in them. Even if it were a new coach.

I'm only high on post 19 point competitive loss to the bulldogs at Etihad who were probably half tanking and kicked 9 goals in a quarter. This is the kind of high I only wish Mark Neeld could've stayed around to enjoy.

As for Roos with his family. Hi there Tyler, it's me Paul. You are finishing year 12 this year. I've got a contract deal to make 1.6million a year next year, do you think I should do it?

Tyler - Hmm let me think, get me an apartment near the city that I can rent for cheap with my friends, and pay for my uni at Melbourne uni or RMIT, get us a beach house at Portsea, buy me a car, promise me a holiday at the end of each year and we'll talk. Ok thanks dad.

Maybe. But found that they are kind of stupid. If a players contracted what do you say? Work hard, don't get on the [censored]. If they aren't contracted then all you can say I guess is we'll wait and see. I'm not convinced Paul Roos could come in on his first day and fire players, even if he's been watching closely he'd be wise to review the games and talk to all the current staff about the players.

Its a done deal

Roos is just working the media beautifully and building up to the announcement

Need i remind everyone he met with the playing leadership group last week.

Some reason i have a sick feeling about this now..

Roos is spending serious time in Melbourne now - on the couch, fox footy game day stuff etc. Moving would be OK I would have thought - maybe the massive commitment that being a senior coach requires is the final hitch. (Having said that, fox footy et al are pretty demanding time wise at least.)

Put the (wrist slashing) knives away for now.

His family would know exactly what's going on, they would have said no when he rejected the lions if he was going

to imo, meeting the leadership group is almost confirmation in itself

Sounds like he is just working the crowd.

No way would he not have spoken about this with his wife and kids until tonight. FFS this has been going on for months, you think tonight he turns around and goes "so you may have heard I've been offered this job..."

Maybe he is working through the logistics with the family. Obviously his son couldn't relocate until November when the HSCs are done. Moving a family is not easy, but it's also not something you discuss for the first time this far down the line.

Roos would look like a tool if he said "changed my mind over night, going to coach now", and would look equally idiotic if he was to turn the job now, having met the players and reopened the conversation on Friday night.

He is doing what he needs to do to feed the media and make himself look good.

Need I remind you, that only a week ago...you constantly rammed the fact that Roos had said he will not coach us down our throats and attempted to shut down people who entertained the fact.

What comments? Did not see him interviewed...

Posted

On the afl website he says, the meeting was two way, they discussed how roos coached teams play but he wanted to keep most of it private

Also said the players were excited to be getting such an experienced coach

Posted

In yesterday's coverage, Healy kept saying "They will be better with Roos coaching...if he signs"

He was always saying something then, adding after a short gap, if he signs. Healy knows, he said he asked his brother and could not repeat what was said... Then said its too busive for TV with a massive smirk on his noggin

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
