    David king was just on AFL360 and was concerned because of the price tag that Roos is going to come with.

    He was concerned that other coaches who win the premiership will not want $900k but $1.00M plus.

    King who gives a rats what coaches MIGHT want to get paid.

    Could not care less think of something else to biutch about.

    its more the case of who cares what KIng thinks ( an oxymoron there )

    And what have we learnt from past experiences relating to coaches and being frugal? "You pay peanuts, and you get monkeys..."

    That's an insult to monkeys c f!

    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.

    That's my understanding re: the AFL (or AD) as you put, putting together a pitch to Roos.

    Despite AD's criticism of Roos and Sydney's grinding method prior to their 2005 Premiership.

    where was all this concern when the bombers payed more for bomber Thompson than Hird.... Think bomber would be on about the same as Roos, if he come to us.....

    Jeez the media are searching hard to find a negative here....

    Interesting that is exactly the same feedback I was given by my friend on the board.............................. who I may add went very silent on Roos after being adamant we were going to get him in May or early June. Clearly the board and administration smartly kept their mouth shut. This may have been a test......... so to speak. Certainly the old board and admin would have leaked this all day everyday and the deal would have been lost. The point is that no body knew how close things had got, despite obvious and clear on-going communications between the club and Roos. Well done to the club (assuming no last minute fcuk up!).

    I asked my "friend" who was going to be coach a month ago after Roos had sort of said no publically, and he told me they were still confident in getting Roos. I reported this here at the time but it seemed few believed. I had even lost confidence.

    Thanks for the info grand new flag. Any news on Watts and Sylvia? Or talk on prematurely extending Hogan and or Frawley's contract?

    You lost confidence in your own posts ? yikes !

    Yes, honestly I was convinced by the media, general Melbourne inpetness, and lack of response from my friend on the borad and my friends in player management.

    Only got six more pages guys, keep up the good work..... We need this type of commitment on the field, we'd win a premiership for sure!

    I have direct contact with Watts manager, the feed back is very positive.

    not much talk goes on at your joint

    We were both working, but I did speak to her at lunch when organising finals tickets.

    But yes, so much for bloody communication!

    So another Messiah comes to save the day? You've got to be joking. The whole player group is terrible. Jesus Christ could not coach them to a grand final

    You gotta start somewhere, D31....

    The new coach (Roos, fingers crossed) will have a good nucleus to work with.

    Why don't you turn up to the bluey and tell them how good they are D31, you can even take your keyboard if it will make you feel tougher :)

    • 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?
