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.

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!

.... 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.

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

pop the champagne

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.

Personally I'd rather be conscious when the news comes through

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
