Didn't stuie mention Wednesday for a presser?

 

Doesn't want to be announced at b&f.. Said that night is about 2013 not him.

Wait, now he is talking about when he wants this announced?!

Who cares Paul, WHO CARES?!

We can announce it at 10pm on Saturday night, while the rest of the country is waiting for election news for all we care.

he said, if pj asks him to make a decision this week, he will... could be tomorrow, wednesday, friday who knows!!? one other comment at the start, when mike said "you're the only that knows" and then roos with a laugh said "possibly" insuating everyone already knows it's done

Why would he be thinking about when he wants it to be announced if he wasn't well and truely on the side of doing it?

huge positive.

I think that was Wednesday this week... Roos is talking about next week.

Didn't give much away.. Healy and mike believe it's a done deal.. Roos played a straight bat..

Stated they have NOT talked contract terms

Wants to wait until wife comes back (Tuesday) unless PJ and co want a answer sooner.

PJ contacted him to talk to the leadership group. (Which the players asked to meet Roos)

Stated his still 50-50

100% coming

Already signed and sealed

The announcement will be made when PJ and Roos want it to be made, and that was never going to be on some crappy pay TV footy show on Monday night

 

They want to make it at some point soon or i am going to be found naked in a drain somewhere rocking backwards and forwards.

His wife is ruining my life.

Can't he call her to discuss this?

I'll pay for the phone call.

at a guess wed might be Walsh ?

I don't want to contemplate him pulling out. Would be the epitome of cruelty.

Mate, surely they would have discussed this a number of times, he would know exactly what her position is on this, he would just be using that to buy himself the time to announce it when it suits him and pj imo, he basically said what we all thought he would realistically by the sounds of things.

His wife and eldest son are going away to Bhutan (sp?) and will come back and have a decision for him on families perspective ie: convenient excuse to not say too much.

He thinks the B+F was about this season and therefore it's not appropriate for him to be there - although he didn't quite say that, he said more he said it in a way that if he rocked up to the B+F he wouldn't look stupid.

Very tactful but also very comfortable. Not a man hiding something, more a man just confident in his decision making and process.


I'm 100% that Roos is 50% and Barret thinks 87% but won't be sure till OX is 97% ?.. ........

Assuming he is honest and it's now about his family imo what he is saying is he is 100% convinced he wants to coach us, he just needs to know it wouldn't be putting them out,

Lol Gerald said to Roos when your coaching Melbourne next year what player from Sydney will you take. Thought about it and said ill let u know at the end if the show.

Playing the media, Jesus H Christ.

He is killing me here.

He's done, he's coming. Unless something happens, and his poor wife will be blamed...


Agreement. The word is AGREEMENT.

That thing you wrote is not a word, it's a modern distortion of a noun created by some clown who does not know his own language.

I have nothing to add on the Roos matter. It is clearly done and all that is left is the timing. We need something else to post about, preferably in real English. (Not

having a go at you PsD - just try not to murder the language again, pls.)

That's how real words come to be: either through misuse of an existing word or the recurring use of a non-existing word. Look for "agreeance" in a dictionary near you soon.

So we think he's buying time as instructed by the club and by his own desires? but in fact, he has already signed, got a house in Toorak, and his wife and kids aren't in Bhutan they are actually in Bakers Delight buying bread down at Richmond?

Or a thread. As in this one. Dictionary excerpt a few pages back...

Maybe used his signing bonus to send them to bhutan?

Roos just nodded along and without flinching answered the question.. :)

Honestly I think he 's coming. I'll be floored if he pulls out now.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
