We've actually been courting Roos since 2002.

All he was waiting for was a 30 goal loss, Todd Viney's son to debut and a dwarf to be set on fire.

The planets are aligned.

Don't forget Richmond making the finals, that one's special.

    RF is a Foundation Hero, the staff are excited.

    And you don't have to question the veracity - I will vouch for RF.

    I've also just nkw followed up with my girlfriend, who has a friend on the Melbourne staff.

    He passed it onto her this morning.

    Why hadnt she told me yet?

    "Oh, I kinda... forgot. It doesn't really make any difference, you know he's coming anyway!"

    Great News Dazzle. I don't doubt what you are saying but is the time line right? If so that would mean that Schwab and Mclardy would have made the initial approach, or am I reading that wrong.

    Nope AFL got in first.

    When PJ was contacted regarding the job of Interim CEO the AFL already told him that they sounded out Roos and would assist in any way to get him back coaching again. Andy D is a massive Roos fan and believed he was too good of a coach to be not in the game. Somehow the info was leaked to Tim Sheahan and we may never know how.

    Thanks DD36. It's interesting that the AFL was concerned enough to make the approach to Roos as early as round 2 and yet the club was seemingly content with Neeld at the helm.

    what did they say on triple m?

    They just said maybe friday could be the announcement. They said they wouldnt announce it at the b&f because that is all about 2013. So basically dont associate roos with 2013.

    But they said by the weekend it should be confirmed.

    Get on the Roos train.

    Heard it on SEN I think and I like it, I like it a lot.

    I know the deal is done but just waiting on the announcement so I can get some work done!

    To be honest I'm happy with anything that prevents Lynch commentating games on TV. Maybe we can find roles for Brian Taylor, Luke Darcy, Tony Shaw, Dwayne Russell, Hamish McLachlan and Basil Zempilas.

    They're all required for the mission to Mars. Andy Maher is the co-pilot.

    I agree. He's switched on. He'll coach to our strengths.

    AF can you please advise what they are because I have struggled to see many the last two years.

    Andy D has not always been a massive fan of Paul Roos.

    Didn't he accuse Roos of introducing a brand of football at Sydney that was dull and boring, or words to that effect?

    If I remember correctly, it was the year that Sydney won the premiership.

    Yeah.

    Tell them how to play footy and it still isn't working for them - it sure ain't the coach.

    He said they'd never win a flag playing like that. It only took them about ten more weeks to put that prediction in the can.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • 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.
