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.

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."

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 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.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
