WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Featured Replies

Think, Demonlanders, think! A coach who travels East every second week isn't going to see a lot of his family... A bloke who lives in Perth, isn't going to get the TV and Media options that a bloke who lives on the East coast gets.... They would have to raise the stakes to 2.5 mill... I'll sleep easy tonight!

 

No wonder we lose so many games.

The players are just like D'Landers.

Collapse under pressure.

I reckon we've had about 50 goals kicked against us in the past 15 min.

Slow it down and control the game. Play it under our terms.

You seem stressed, tired.

Swisse?

Relax, it's in the bag.

Yeah thats not true. In Perth (as I guess Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney) coaches have exclusive deals with TV and radio stations to appear a couple of times a week.

Fringe benefits for coaches outside Melbourne much better.

Worshfold quiting is basically a result of off field problems.

You could see the stress and toll it had taken on him.. he looked very tired and worn out and appeared to have lost a lot of weight.


I agree ,I think woosha caught w.c by surprise .

Nothing to do with demons .

Roos is done deal with demons

Roos can't sign for west coast if he is locked up in PJ's basement.

I think another example of credibility rating may have been required...

Lighten up sunshine... It was a joke.. Lol life must be so miserable for some..

 

Rumour is Roos has been waiting for post 5000 to come up and use it for his annoucement.

I wanna double like this.


Oh man, couldn't Meth Toast have waited until after Tuesday to do this? Getting a horrible, horrible feeling

I don't think it was Meth Toast's doing... I think it was Wooshers doing.

This is so getting to 300 pages before an anouncement.

I'm guessing 300 pages by the time Damian Barrett opens his mouth on TFS tonight.

Come on guys lets be a little bit confident in PJ and co getting Roos over the line. Burns has done a lenghty apprenticeship at the eagles as has Sumich most recently under R. Lyon...But you never no until the paper has been signed.

Im not confident or unconfident........i just am.

I tipped this 5 days ago.

3 nights ago On The Couch he said he'd make a decision on Tuesday.

That's giving West Coast a deadline.

He's gone!!!

Ok,i edited my post,just frustrated with this whole drawn out saga.

He surely wouldn't go west. I must admit, if he were to go let's not hire a coach, let's hire a film director instead. Demonland, a tragedy (or comedy)


The Ross Lyon situation was well documented to be purely financial .

From all reports we have put the big money offer that is unlikely to be bettered

I think longevity had a fair bit to do with it where the Dockers were chasing him, & the Saints were undecided & reluctant for much of the season.

I think it would follow that Lyon would get a better deal at the Dockers.

Or a tragicomedy?

And the Ross Lyon saga was totally different. He hadn't said yes to MFC, his management were talking to us. Ross did the about flip himself to Freo at the surprise of his manager!

Listening to league teams with David Parkin implying that he felt like woosha had lost the players and quit.

They are all talking about burns and sumich

No mention of roos

this I could believe,,, & if true woosher has off-field issues, then I could imagine the coach could have gone off the 'handle' a few times too many?

the eagles looked a bit 'Off' this season & we here of players looking out of there...

Now is the time to get at Gaff.... see if we can flush him out & workout a deal with the coasters.

Selwood & Gaff would be grand, even if it were 12 months apart.

Or a tragicomedy?

That's the one Jumbo.


 

No announcement on P Roos at tonight's Dees b and f. Tuesday still the deadline. Would take monumental backflip for him to not coach them

He said himself that he didn't want there to be.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
