I wonder if the players will be present at the press conference??

COACHING TEAM, ASSEMBLE!

Edited September 6, 201312 yr by Young Dee

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.

Just to make your day even better, this is a great laugh...

Someone feel free to photoshop me an image Roosy standing over this guy please http://commercial.aflphotos.com.au/photography/results/?q=mitch+robinson

Of the Daniel Jackson variety

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!

Good to you you guys are prompt with the Demonland banner

One of the best days since 1964,when I wasn't even born yet

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Enough said

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!!

just watch the membership climb !!!

I've just looked into it...

I'm very worried.. He hasn't taken ocean Grove to a flag... ;-)

UP AND ABOUT

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.

Media conference just started:

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.

Pretty interesting isn't it!

Can I get some updates? At work :/

Oh no!

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

Yeah right...

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

Can I get some updates? At work :/

It hasn't started. It's just footage of a chair.

30 seconds

Can I get some updates? At work :/

Your work not have the internet?

You have time to post on here, but can't watch the presser? Tell the boss to GAGF.

Just to make your day even better, this is a great laugh...

never tire of its variations
