WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Paul Roos is no longer open to talks.

Paul Roos is now otherwise engaged.

Party time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just called my dad who has been in hospital for a week and he was yelling at the nurse to turn the radio on. Haha.

Big kudos to GNF. Biggest rumour ever and he nailed it months ago.

2 years? fek that, I wanted 5

That must mean that a senior assistant is coming along with him in some form you would imagine.

[dees189227 12,372]

They were saying he wanted 5 last week. I hope this means he will see after 2 years and then just go. Geez I hope he is around for 5 at least.

I wonder how schwab feels in the sense that PJ has done more to this club in 6 mths then schwab did in his time. He has landed a gigantic fish as coach. Thankyou to the AFL for delivering us this wonderful man.

Now lets see some players re signing

Cannot wait until r1

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,116]

How long til someone starts the Sack Paul Roos thread.....

I didn't know how I'd feel until it was done but I believe this is the best I have felt about our club in 38 years as a supporter.

[DemonOX 8,783]

Hey mods Shouldn't the name of the thread be changed to

"Roos new coach of the Dees"?

[Young Dee 1,303]

3 years was a year and 1/2 too long for the previous coach

But that was the previous coach

Can Roos change the clubs fortunes in 2 years? - I think he could in 3 years but if he won't be taking us to any grand final in 3 years

Still - we have two years to make him stay for longer - lets get to it!

But for now demonlanders - get some sleep.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

By far the best day of my Melbourne supporting life!

Excited, but will wait to see some results. MFC are a coach killing team. Great to have Roos on board.

[garyh007 112]

Two people close to me have been diagnosed with cancer in the last two months finally I can smile if only for a little

2+1 keeps him, and us, hungry.

bring it on!

[stuie 7,374]

I thought I'd want to tell all the doubters who told me to give up on Roos or that he'd said no to suck it... But I'm just feeling the love for ALL my Demon brothers and sisters!

Tune in at 12, friends

This club has turned many a rooster into a feather duster.

I hope this new dawn is real.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

2 years is a bit sucky, bit beggars can't be choosers. Hope he does 3 and more!

tv or radio ?

[DeeVoted 583]

Was it ever in doubt? after hearing he met with the leadership group, it was just a matter of the timing of the announcement,

This is a huge boost for the club, and us (supporters) Roos has the job in front of him to turn the rabble into a final 8 football team.

But we couldnt ask for a better person to guide us up the ladder. The players will be rapt.

The players and the club dont have any more excuses, no more wannabe coaches. Roos is the best available. I wish him every success.

Now to hear who else climbs on board to assist him. Exciting times ahead.

Hope he leaves the family a forwarding address

Whatever Neil Craig decides on his future, I'd like to thank him to his work at the club, stepping in to fill the void. I have mixed emotions if he chooses to move on.

PS: Would have liked a 3 yr contract with the option of 5

Nice work on the banner Demonland!

[Vandenberger With The Lot 238]

tv or radio ?

I think he meant the link he provided

[Young Dee 1,303]

I was one who said he would never come - I am happy to admit it.

I am obviously not very good at reading between the lines - I usually take no as a no..... oh you little devil Roosy!

[Sir Why You Little 36,963]

2+1 keeps him, and us, hungry.

Yes. A lot must change quickly.

We must get some wins next year.

The players have been put on notice.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

I'm sure he will get asked why only 2 years at the press conference.

I'm sure we have a plan. Both his previous assistants have gone on to be damn good coaches in their own right.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,350]

I have been on the Choco bandwagon for some time for reasons previously mentioned. But this is huge for our club and I wish him all the best. As someone has already alluded to to, a succession plan sounds likely. Keen to hear of his assistants.
