I found it pretty interesting that he was so candid in his desire to keep Watts and Sylvia, on the day of him being appointed. Pretty sure he brought it up without being prompted as well, but could be mistaken. This was despite him being alot more reserved when the issue of turning over the list came up, with him wanting to "get into the club, see how they train etc". I think that early vote of confidence will go a long way to keeping both players. For those who want them to stay.

He also guaranteed that whoever took over from him would see success. He didn't define "success", but the confidence was refreshing, and exciting.

It felt to me like he already knew they would both be staying

You said similar about Neeld.

However, as there is more love in the air today than Valentine's Day, B59, I'm more than happy to say. "I agree with you post"!!!

I was obviously deemented that previous occasion. The pills are working fine now however

Red and blue polo suits him very well indeed

It suits him that well, I hope he never takes it off.

anyone clean up at the bookies ??

i didnt...but happy for others to

Good on him, for Roos to say that boy would that put a spring in both those guys step. They are both very much confidence players and to have one of the most respected people in the AFL say that it would make them forget about the past and look forward to being coached by such a great man

This.....

Now makes me more excited than this.....

(Don't pretend you don't get it...)

I can make you $5000-$10,000 a day...

"Roos said his son Tyler said “you’ve got to coach this club”"

Nice work Tyler!

IN TYLER WE TRUST

looking forward to seeing roosy in his mfc blazer

Need new acronym - "MFCMFC" for "MFC Messiah Complex".

Running riot today. And why not?

There's a thread somewhere on Demonland asking whether 2013 was our worst season ever. Not any more.

Yes thats what I was getting at

looking forward to seeing roosy in his mfc blazer

From what I heard they were all burnt in a large bonfire last night outside the Northern stand not far from NS's statue.

I thought it was $1000-$5000. But hey what would I know haha

anyone clean up at the bookies ??

Didn't clean up as such, but had Roos a month or two ago at $3.25 ish??

.... just put it all on a footy quaddie for the favorites to win this week int he finals whilst I'm on a high!

It was amusing when PJ was arguing we deserved a PP and listing how bad we have been, not beating a top 8 club etc and he mentioned the exception of beating Sydney, Roos chimed in with a grumpy 'by 75 points'. Still rankles. Happy he has forgiven us.

First opportunity to get on D-Land today, I am in a state of euphoria. First off the achievement of coaxing someone to our club in such a dark time, secondly the fact that others were chasing him and we beat them, and thirdly (and most positively) the calibre of the man we've got.

We have to be careful about our messiah complex coming on show,but there is no reason why we shouldn't get excited because this guy did game changing things at the swans and he will generate positivity around the club. Jack Watts will stay, and if he doesn't lift under Roos then he will never be the player he's capable of being. The big question now comes who will be built as his successor?

Great work PJ!

Perhaps its just me but i reckon Roos looks like a captain of the Enterprise (star trek) in this photo from the age online:

Do you try and go against the grain on purpose or something? All year you were telling us everything was going to plan when we were clearly up to our eyeballs in dung, then when the best news that we've heard in arguably decades hits, you're the one person going "meh, I'll reserve judgement" when everyone else is doing cartwheels.

And congrats to you, Nasher. The site passed the Roos test.

The emerging Dees really put on a clinic against the tiring swans that day. Our young running players were too skilled and too smart and our midfield held up very well against a swans midfield that needed some rejuvenation with the likes of Kieran Jack and Josh Kennedy having taken them back to the top since that day.

Unfortunately they regrouped whilst Dean Bailey kept backing in the shaky parts of any plan - outside flashy football - without cementing the stuff that actually sets up those kind of wins.

I think it's just you.

Just a side thought

I bet we get a good draw next year courtesy of the AFL to give Roos a chance to get off to a real good start

Been working but heard the news! Glad its announced (never was in doubt!). Do you think the AFL may schedule MFC vs Sydney Swans first round next year for some spice?

And secondly shame on all you guys for not being a member! But glad you are coming back on board!

I hope not, I would rather have a win to start off the Roos era

Geez how did we hang onto Schwab for so long he is an amateur compared to Jackson he has done more for this club in 6 months than Schwab could have done in 100 years
