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

    I wouldn't worry about the time frame, Roos at the very least will set up healthy foundations at the club.

    I don't think the MFC is a 2 year job, after a couple years we'll be ready to challenge for finals and Roos will extend.

    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)

    You think Roos is overrated Satyr.....??

    Yeah right...

    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.

    You did not have to be overseas Rocknroll!

    Not worried at all by a 2 plus 1 option at all. He will pay for his own salary in publicity for sponsors etc, his ability to alter the culture and he will attract players who would have baulked at going to the Dees. I have no doubt we will receive a PP (not no. 1 pick) which we will be expected to trade for a ready made mid. Todd Viney had already added quality to the list last year. Lets see if he can do it again!! This will assist Roosy in his job!!

    Do we know when they will be announcing the coaching team? When Mark Neeld was announced, did his assistants come later? I can't seem to remember. I suppose I'm trying to work out if Roosy would have already confirmed his assistants before signing.

    SO STOKED. THE PILGZ IS JUST SO STOKED. I SHOOK MY DOGS I'M SO HAPPY, THEY'RE DEAD NOW BUT IT'S FINE. ROOS IS COACH.

    Hi Saty glad to see you are still among us.

    The big job is still to improve the playing list without that we are not going anywhere fast.

    However Roos will give hope to lost supporters/ members and hopefully help acquire a new major sponsor.

    If he can make us competitive in 2014 I will be happy.

    Everything above that will be a bonus for me.

    Yes I do, I have stated that before, if it was Leigh Mathews, then I would be doing cartwheels.

    Roos inherited quite a healthy playing list from Eade, he had two bloody good assistants in Lyon and Longmire, a lot of the clubs were struggling, West Coast was really the only challenger, yes he changed footy by having role players, but he then got out when a rebuild was on the cards and has been away from the 'frontline' for a while......I will reserve my judgement

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
