WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Featured Replies

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

thank god we have a voice of reason around here

 

I await Roos' appointment with anxious anticipation. As an old Demon supporter, I have cast my mind back. It will be 50 years since our last premiership. In that time, we have had only one coach who has coached an AFL/VFL premiership. Ron Barassi coached us for 111 games from 1981-5 (nigh on 30 years ago) that fostered the relatively-successful Northey years. Before that, there was this chap named Norm Smith. It's about bloody time we had a premiership coach.

 

In I suppose typical MFC fashion, I'm ready for Roos to turn around and tell us to get stuffed. However my hopes are soaring, but I'm doing the best I can to stay grounded.

It's like I'm 5 again and it's Christmas eve, except this time I won't be sleeping for the next week.


Hey what's the record for pages on a topic?

I presume it would be Scully...

Maybe this thread can be morphed into the "sack paul roos" thread once we are 5 rounds into the 2014 season. Then it ll definitely become the longest thread.

5 rounds you are optimistic olisik!

Give it 2 I say!

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

Exactly, that too. He's a guy who knows how a footy club should work.

I don't have foxtel so I don't really know about the 'branding' part. I just hope he has seen it as a way to make a living whilst not being directly involved in footy at a club level.


After seeing the professionalism of Jackson and now Roos in the last couple of months, I think we are in very safe hands going forwards lads.

Provided Roos signs on of course.

I'd say if we added up all the pages from all the different threads on Watts from just before we drafted him to now, then Jack Watts would win by a mile.

This is even excluding all the non-Watts threads that always magically turn into a debate about whether Jack will "make it" or not.

Actually that gets me thinking, do you guys think Watts will become a great player? Whats your thoughts?


what was on channel 9 tonight?

FC was on tues night on either gem or go which is owned by 9

On insider they just asked Lynch about being the new list manager of Melbourne, he seemed to talk the list up with that big cheesy grin he does, pretty much said its 100% for Roos to coach us.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
