Yes, I have no inside knowledge but this is going to drag out. I mean we can't even talk to any of our 'fallbacks' for at least 9 weeks.

I am thinking that with the AFL involved in our plight we may be able to contact other coaching prospects but very much on the quiet.

We now know the dees can keep things quiet ie the dud ones sacking.

Here hoping things are moving in the right direction.

Absolutely spot. The fact Mike Sheehan son tim tweeted as early as round 2 about us talking to Roos was also true. AFL phone Roos and put in a case for him to come back to coaching. Neeld was a dead m

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

A certain manager of a certain high profile, high draft pick who's contract is up, has told me that it has been confirmed to him by our club that Roos will be coach. This story has played true since

Roos just commented OTC that something needs to change for him to coach.

What that "something" is I have no idea. MS said his "mind" needs to change as a joke but Roos said he doesn't know what needs to change and money is not important.

He also said he doesn't really want to coach but will take calls out of curtiousy

Both MS and GH said that they believe Roos more than when Hird was saying it when he was a regular OTC..

I would think that based on his response we will end up with Willams

Saw that. Just a gut feel but roos to me is never one to reveal much and I get a shifty feeling with him. It's an annoying trait but he dodges questions like a politician.

I remember him acting so surprised as an innocent ex coach at what Brock revealed when the footy world knows he instructed mcveigh in a nab cup game to not kick goals up forward.

Maybe it just me.

In what way does he give u a shifty feeling BR?

I don't think Williams had big $$$$ at Port when he coached there either.

My main reason of choosing Williams over Eade is that Williams has made it to the top. Other than that I think they are very similar coaches.

...and he wants one bad. As a player Eade has won 4 flags and I think he has one as a reserves coach, maybe wrong there but if he could win one as a senior coach it would cap of a very good career in football. If he did it at Melbourne he would be a legend.

not fussed if roos rules himself out, eade or williams and maybe a sumich or burns in a succession plan might be just as good, roos has never coached a really poor list so he may not be any better than an untried assistant apart from the bonus his profile gives in terms of sponsors

Healy said that Roos has ruled himself out.

So, it's down to 3 now.

Williams, Eade and Craig.

That was more GH allowing Roos to talk about a scenario of who he would like to coach either the dees or saints without be biased so to speak.

I have this nagging feeling that if us getting Roos is dependent on whether we get a priority pick then they will give it to us. And I think also feel that this is one of the things he's waiting to find out.

He's up to his eyeballs in the PED case at Essendon.

Not a hope even if he begged for it.

This chasing after a reluctant coach has too much of the Saints' debacle about it. They threw money at Blight until he caved and agreed to coach them, but his heart wasn't in it and he clashed with the board pretty much from day 1. I don't think we would get any more out of it than they did. Better to have someone who wants to be here.

Totally agree mate, the thing is IMO if we get the right coach which I think is Eade or Williams, we could rise like Port or Gold coast have, we have a good spine, very good forward line on paper, if we bolster our midfield and get some confidence in the group we could close the cap very quickly, not saying I think we can make finals in 2014 but I think we can certainly be a much improved side and start winning back some respect.

That is an interesting thought, as OTC tonight he was definite we should get a PP, while Sheahan said no.

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
