entirely possible PJ has stressed the importance of not leaking info at this point, especially potentially a day out from a press confrence

  • Quote

    MFC Staff had a meeting yesterday and were told that basically Roos is the new coach.

    I'm overseas at the moment and my bookkeeper rang the club about a payment and she was told by one of the staff so she sent me an email.

    Not to dampen the mood here, but Roos hasn't met with MFC Staff as reported on here, and hasn't been confirmed.

    He will not be at the B&F tonight.

    AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    mmmmm bookkeeper one of 2 words in the English language with a consecutive triple double

    Thought Sunday was the first day since 2011 he looked like he wasn't running in cement boots.

    I thought that too. Spring in the step he had.

    I would be stunned if he had met staff. It is hard enough for a few people to keep something quiet let alone all the staff. Also there would be no need for him to do it. Plenty of time after it is official.

    It has been reported, however, that he has met with the leadership group. To ask the rhetorical question, why would he do that?

    I hope the MFC has thrown Roos a little sweetener. Jazza will give Tammi and the kids a free, 5 day tour of the Otway’s with stop offs at all the Colac & Districts footy grounds. Who needs Bhutan when you have Forest, Irrewarra-Beeac, and Alvie.

    followed by a scenic tour of romsey, burwood and the gatwick. now that should clinch the deal

    Umm, because the staff don't take to the field?

    Occurred to me that if you were an ambitious assistant coach you would be jumping at the opportunity to join Roos at Melbourne. The main reason being to learn from an experienced senior coach how to develop, lead and rebuild a team from the bottom of the ladder such that they can assail the top of the ladder.

    Given new senior coaches are generally appointed to struggling teams at the foot of the ladder learning how to take them up is the core skill required of any new coach.

    I suspect that MN having spend his apprenticeship at a successful Collingwood never fully understood the challenges of taking a team from bottom to top.

    On OTC Monday night, Paul Roos (our new coach) stated that PJ asked him to meet with the leadership group, he obliged and found them to be an impressive bunch of individuals or something along those lines

    DC comparing the beautiful Otways and their footy grounds with Jazza as host to Romsey, Burwood and the Gatwick is almost as silly as setting someone on fire on a mad monday!

    Not just that PaulRB, but if you were ambitious you might also see that there is an opportunity for a succession plan which worked spectacularly well when Roos handed over to Longmire. Learn from one of the best in the business then take over the reins.

    ok.....what if we leave out romsey then?

  • Quote

    Positive? That we will trade I hope!

    In the Hearld Sun article in early August where Roos outlined his plan on how to turn Melbourne around, he considered Watts our most important player moving forward and vital for any new coach to re-sign. Under Roos Watts will not be traded unless he askes to be and the chances of that under Roos are slim. Interestingly in the article Roos also expected Melbourne to receive #1 draft pick as a Priority Pick. Irony aside Roos stated he would put this pick (Boyd) or pick 3 up for action for an elite midfielder or 2, A Graders aged between 22 -24yo.

    I expect we will receive Pick 1.

    After re-reading this article it was clearly a 100 day plan, outlined to the board and PJ.

    RobbieF mentioned the staff had been informed, not that they had met Roos.

    Yes, and the meeting of staff usually happens after or immediately preceding the presser.

  • Quote

    Just wondering...How all the media know how much anyone in the AFL is getting paid??

    It is always stated that Roos will get 1.5 to 2 mil a year....How do they know this....were they present when the deal was/is signed??

    It is the same with the players .......Stated that so and so is getting 400,000 a year....Reportedly

    It just makes me sick ....The media know stuff all about how much anyone is paid.....actually none of their business.....Or ours.....

    How long is Brett Kirk contracted for over in Perth? i wouldn't be surprised if he was pretty keen to coach alongside Roosy and Roosy pretty keen to have him there.

  • Quote

    I would not expect roos to be at the b&f tonight. Tonight is about 2013 season and waving that goodbye. He doesnt need to sit through that crap.

    If he does sign then he can start fresh and moving on to 2014

    So I guess this is the last night for our assistant coaches as well. Rawlings I still rate as a good coach but I hope the other 2 have gone

    • 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?
