WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Featured Replies

0 from 3 what? I was told that the deal is done. Timing of the announcement is the only impediment. Roos and PJ have differed on this

Sure mate.

1st announcement is on Monday.

Oh no, due to mad Monday it is today, but watch Fox footy last night to find out the truth......

Now it's a disagreement on Roos and PJ, you don't know squat.

 

I think a lot of people may misconstrue the value of any AFL money.. It's in effect totally irrelevant as to any condition on its use. Any dollar spent on the footy dept frees up a dollar elsewhere.. Its fiscal semantics made to appease the numnuts out there :)

will be announced next week

Imagine all the positive press we will get and the great exposure for the sponsors finally

Takes something pretty special to take he focus off week 2 of the finals but Roos to the MFC will do it

great stuff

Why ? Does PJ want it now or does Roos want it next wk?

It's crap, PJ won't care when he announces it, he would just be thrilled to have gotten his man.


Look if pull ourselves from the bottom and notch a few wins next year members will increase dramatically and we'll be rolling in dosh. As someone on the Lions forum said Melbourne has a lot of dormant members (Brisbane/Fitzroy not as many) who will get on board when we start winning again.... Posers no doubt, but i'll still take their money!

Then the North Melbourne comparisons can finally cease.

All hypothetical of course.

I can't believe it's only tuesday, i have taken on 6 extra clients just to try and pass the time haha


Ive seen a lot of people say in here they are worreid about the 'messiah' mentality.

Well we will not be looking for a messiah, we will be hiring a team of professionals who all have runs on the board.

It will be a team effort to get the MFC back to where it belongs.

Roos will have all the support he needs, and then some.

And if there was a messiah it would be PJ with what hes pulled off so far and plenty more to come

I can't wait to see the sort of results he is going to get out of blokes like Watts, Trengove, Grimes, tapscott, blease, all the unfulfilled talent.

All interviews with other candidates have now been cancelled, including Adam Simpson.

Yes, No T$ No B$ is the biggest ever thread, this is #2. The now locked "Time to go Mark Neeld" thread is currently ranked third, while "Tanking" is fourth.

What about the cricket thread? That's currently on 202 pages...

Sure mate.

I don't believe I said anything about "watch fox footy tonight and find out the truth!"

However, the mail is: Will he take 5 years or only 4? I've kind of forgotten in all this excitement. But you have to ask yuourself one question Dees supporters, do you feel lucky?

We historically have a very keen and fervent following. This has always translated well from following to memberships but liek any team thats been crap for so long the 'keenness' can drop off. All this club need do is show a pulse, have it race from time to time and allow momentum to overcome inertia and the numbers will grow.

50000 in 3years of moderate , upward success isnt a silly number

Omg i wanna get excited but until i see him in a melbourne tie announcing he will be coach for the next five years then i remain um...

Its going to be a LONG wk then aint it HH?

same as normal 7 days :rolleyes:^_^

I can't believe it's only tuesday, i have taken on 6 extra clients just to try and pass the time haha

Its funny how the week never goes as quickly as the weekend!!!!

Should be a 2 day week and 5 day weekend.

When you shoot your "source" at fox footy, save a bullet.

Who is saying the interviews are cancelled DZ?

Absolutely, PJ has done the impossible and hired Roos, maybe we should get him onto that now?

Mike Sheahans son is an associate of mine. He wouldn't put a source to his inside word but said was 99% sure it will be announced at our best and fairest and flung me a little wink afterwards.

He's either cheating on his wife with me, or Paul roos will be our coach next year.

Lol, your last line cracked me up.

 

I probably shouldnt utter this , as this are easily regretted, but not for a long time have I actually looked forward to round1, if only to be competitive and relevant to this game. many things may or may not come after but Id like to see us take the field and do something.

I dont expect miracles

but theyre welcome none the less :)

Pleasant piece you are! You're making it personal, wanting to shoot the messenger.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • 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.
