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 also reported that West coast are approaching Roos

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
