    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.

    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.

    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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      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.
