WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Featured Replies

What's wrong with everyone? Where's the WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS thread?

Make one LDC. Don't think, don't hope...ROOS!!!!

 

One more piece of uncut, confirmed news.

MFC wanted 5 years, but Paul Roos would not commit. However, Paul Roos verbally said he WILL coach beyond 2 years and beyond 3 years if all is going well. Roos wanted an out should admin, board etc fail to maintain the structure and standards he requires.

This should keep the entire organisation in line.

This is what I had suspected. This was Roos clearly saying to PJ and Bartlett that the job's not done yet.

Get the structure right and he'll stay longer.

yes....quick.....the B$T$ thread is under threat

 

1) Thank goodness we can steal something out of the season

2) suck a d brisbane

3) 2 years is awesome, long enough for him to instill his values on the club, and encourage the development of another coach!

I really hope he can bring across Cameron Ling, Paul Williams, Michael Voss and even James McDonald, we would have several options to choose from to take over from roosy if he feels like a short term contract is all he wants

I think the shorter than expected contract may be key to enticing the best candidates for assistant coach positions.

It's a perceived carrot for taking over, but once they are in place, I'm sure Roos will talk them around for a longerterm apprenticeship, a la Longmire.

Maybe an overtly positive view, but it's the one I have.

Or GNF's explanation is probably a lot better...

We are still pinching ourselves - we have never experienced an emotion like this before. The sweet taste of success!

 

Can we please change this title to WELCOME TO DEMONLAND PAUL ROOOOOSSS YOU MAD SON OF A B$TCH!!

I'm currently in my school library and just heard the news. I probably celebrated a bit louder than I should've. Everyone is giving me weird looks now.


Have not done one thing today at work... Im just too excited to concentrate ..

I also like it from a MFC POV as there will be life after PR just like there was life before PR - this will mean we don't have a massive payout if it all goes to water.

Me too, different school library. I can't make a sound our librarian is mean.

Finally good to see a decision, I don't have a Messiah complex about him, and think his reputation is overrated, (he won one flag when most of the competition was in rebuild mode) but he was the best out there, and there was a sustained period of finals at least, something I would like to get used to

I will wait and see what we do with the list and who he thinks are good assistants, he got it right with Lyon and Longmire (part of the reason for his success), are there any of the same calibre out there? ( I personally hope he keeps Rawlings and Brown)

time to open the Veuve !!!:)

The two-plus-one nature of the deal says to me that Peter Jackson is the greatest negotiator of all time.

Remember how the last four-year deal we signed turned out? Not so Flash.

Jackson has not only landed the biggest fish we could have hoped for, he's done it on his terms too. What a CEO!

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.

How many times have you said that in the last 38 years?!

Welcome Paul. Good luck.

 

Looking forward to seeing the well trotted out "culture change"

I pretty excited about this, To be honest this year, as an overseas supporter, I have dropped of the radar. Not much to hope for. Not much to tune in for.

Now I have hope.

I have so much work to do today and my boss is starting to get [censored] at my lack of concentration.

Only so many days I can use my "dad is in hospital" excuse before she realizes I'm actually just posting online about football.

Best feeling I've had for a long time regarding this club. It's amazing how Roos has turned my feelings of despair to feelings of hope.

WINNING!!!!

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
