For all those wanting a nudge nudge wink wink from someone involved with melbourne look at it from another point of view. I could imagine PJ giving an absolute bake to all staff stressing that if we want to be a professional club act like it and keep ya traps shut! I see the no whispers as a good thing. Journo's are guessing because for the first time in a bloody long time they have no inside information from us.

    Would Mark Neeld be at the best and fairest? A mate just MSG me saying his there :/ not sure if he had one too many beers already.

    If anyone else besides PR coaches the Dees in 2014 it will be a HUGE disappointment IMO.

    Robbo and Gerard on AFL360 have just said that WC should give PR a call just to make sure he ain't interested.

    That way they can say they at least tried and spoke with him about the job.

    Robbo said he still thinks PR will coach Dees but said imagine how dees supporters would feel if WC got him.

    God I hope the presser is tomorrow and this doesn't drag out cause the longer it goes the more worried I get.

    Why doesn't Robbo suggest WCE approach his golden boy Hird.

    Can't wait for more crap to hit Robbo's club.

    Re: WCE coaching gig

    "After getting the boot from Brisbane, Michael Voss is also a real chance at $9.00, while despite the speculation around a possible move for Paul Roos to Melbourne (he is priced at just $1.01 to go to the Dees), he is also in the market at $13 to coach the Eagles.

    Worsfold may not be lost to the football world after firming from $11 to $9.00 to coach the Brisbane Lions, and he is also $10 to coach Melbourne.

    There has been big wraps on Scott Burns for a while and he is a Perth boy, so we have him as favourite. Peter Sumich is a favourite son so cant be counted out, while we havent discounted a move by Michael Voss or Paul Roos, said sportsbet.com.aus Shaun Anderson."

    It's interesting that Voss doesn't appear in the next Brisbane coach betting. I wouldn't rule it out. Board gets ousted, Voss returns.

    DB reported on TFS that Roos is a done deal. :)

    Yes that tiny pleb of a human Damien Barrett just said that West Coast believe Roos is a done deal to Melbourne but will still make a call to check.

    DB also reported that West coast are approaching Roos

    It's funny that we will believe DB when it suits us.

    DB said West Coast believe Roos to Melb is a done deal but will still make a call to him tomorrow.

    DB did not say he thinks it's a done deal and he did not say he thinks it will be signed tomorrow.

  • Quote

    Yep.

    DB said that tomorrow's the day!!!!!!!

    He never said that

    He spoke to West Coast and they believe Roos to Melbourne is a done deal but will make the call just incase

    Yep, you're right, apologies.

    I misconstrued what he said - I suppose I only wanted to hear what I wanted to hear.

    It's interesting to c how people hear and c the same thing differently.

    My contact spoke to a staff member today and he has not 'heard a thing either way'. The suspense is felt there as well as this staff member is expecting an exit interview

    To all on here, STOP HYPERVENTALATING!

    Roos made it very clear that he would not interrupt the celebrations of the 2013 season by formalising his appointment before the B&F. No doubt WC will put in a phone call but as WC expect he will politely immediately reject their invitation. The reason for this is that he has already decided to coach Melbourne. Roos is not motivated by money or a better list, he wants to coach Melbourne because he sees us as the ultimate challenge, he believes he can resurrect us and do this quickly. If he succeeds he will become the absolute legend of the modern era.

    An announcement will be made before Wednesday but probably before this. I am told the club is aiming for tomorrow, but this will depend on whether Roos is ready and all fine details on the contract concluded. Roos has been actively recruiting his team, I understand it includes Ling and a couple of other beauties. Roos may want to wait for his family to be back before the big announcement as he has suggested, in which case Tuesday, but he will be coaching us.

    Now take a couple of deep breaths, smoke a fat one if you have to, and enjoy a good nights sleep.

    • 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?
