Gerard Healey and Dwayne Russell confirmed that Paul Roos will be talking to them next Tues. On the same day as the announcement?

He would have OTC on the monday

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

    the AFL would want to get the essendope saga so far our of the public eye as they possibly can.

    this week is all political elections in the main...

    next week will slide back to sport as the main game... we will shade essendope with our drip feed of announcements IMO. throughout September,,, & then on to the trade period.

    Simpson and Burns are have pulled out until further notice, Rocket has re-signed with Pies, from what i've heard Chocco is out

    Only leaves Craig and Roos as far as Im aware (and I have no idea on the status of Craig)

    i for one am glad that Homer J Simpson & C Montgomery Burns will not be coaching the MFC next year :)

    For mine, it's pretty simple. He doesn't want some ridiculous bells and whistles "I am the messiah" thing at the b + f.

    He just wants to come in and coach a football club that wins games, and in doing so, establishes a culture of excellence.

    I agree, it's part of the Paul Roos coaching mentality, no heroes, one whole perfectly working machine.

    If Roos does sign why oh why didnt PJ come into our lives years ago. It could have saved us years of heartache. This man is a genius and has done so much positive stuff for this club.

    He goes and gets an awesome coach and makes hard decisions while our last CEO was focused on blazers and bugulars.

    You know...I agree but hes really on top of his 'branding'

    I simply think he has a decent respect for others as he would want them to have of him.

    also Craig is still at the helm, & symbolically should be there for the B & F... for his thankyou's respects paid.

    Craig should probably do the exit interviews also really, it would be strange if Roos came in and said look we've never met but cya later.

    I am still finding it hard to be totally excited about it cause of our past fart ups.

    When I see Roos in the presser with PJ I will be excited and at the same time relieved.

    The article "Roos' eight day deadline" on the MFC website is an odd article for a club to put out with a prospective coach.

    Some interesting comments.

    He revealed he had discussed the position with family over the weekend, and begun contract discussions last Thursday, but was yet to get into the details such as the length of any potential deal.

    Roos met with some Demons players last week, and described them as a "really good young group".

    "I wouldn't want to make an announcement at their best and fairest. Their best and fairest is about 2013. "It's a celebration of the players' performances this year it's got nothing to do with next year."

    IMO That whole article points to Roos to coach esp with the last sentence looking towards next year and they are discussing contracts but we are melbourne

    Robbo still suggesting that the "door is still open", meaning Roos may still back down...Give me a break.

    Robbo showed his true colours and non worth as a journalist during the bombers saga.

    Selective hearing? Robbo also said that he believes that Roos will take the job!

    that fat loser Slobbo saying the door is open means we 100% have got Roos

    pop the champagne

    .... as long as we don't stuff him up for his next appointment, or holiday... I hear its nice up North right around September/October.

    He still hasn't signed champagne and Robbo did say he thinks he will.

    Might as well pop it mate, either we are going to be celebrating or drowning our sorrows, might as well get in early.

    Fill your bath tub with champagne.

    If he signs, soak up life in it.

    If he backs out, take the toaster in with you.

    • 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.
