WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Featured Replies

It's great news

Would have re-joined anyway ( have already anyway via MCC ) because the further down the club went the more they need support.

Having said that this is a tremendous boost and encouragement

Hope it's 3 years+

 

He reiterated on Fox that it will be 3 years only "and i'm really strong on that"

 

now who was the recent poster who said he;d run buck naked down the street if roos signed?

don't forget we need proof i.e. photographs

First time to get on Demonland since the news broke. Well done PJ and team to convince Rood to this 2-3 year plan. At last I can smile in 2013.

Now for the bad news. I wasn't convinced we would get him and recently posted that if Roos was appointed I would run naked down my street in the buff with just a Dees scarf round my neck yelling out "Rooooooos". Being a man of my word I have to find a way to do it. 2:30am this morning is looking good - I hope it stays warmish!

3 years is a long time and who knows what will happen especially if we have success.

Even if he does hand it over I would be happy with the following:

1. Having had Roos for 3 than not at all

2. His successor leading us to a flag look at Longmire

Its a WIN WIN

Choco or eade would have only got three years

 

His appointment is the best news we've had for a long, long time. Can't think of too many better stories to have emerged from our club in recent history. A great day. Well done Mr Jackson.

What an incredible day. The appointment of Roos is a huge step forward for our great club, not just because we've managed to get such a quality person as head coach, but it means we've got the caliber of people within our organisation to attract such a highly regarded coach.

I'm beginning to remember what it's like to be a truly proud Dees supporter.

Welcome aboard Roos and well done MFC.


Just got home from work and a mate rang and told me!...Jumped on here to see and its TRUE!! I cant believe it! Pumped!!.......on a side note, Ive heard a few Messendon players dont want to renew their contracts...any truth in that??.... a few pickups 4 us maybe??

a bit dangerous when they have possible ASADA infractions hanging over their heads

Yeah good point I guess....

Yeah, I think the fact that it has been such a dark and disappointing past few years adds to the energy and excitement levels of his appointment.

I'm still pinching myself that our club has been able to appoint a coach of his calibre without stuffing it up beforehand.

Well done PJ and Bartlett, great work.

I would like to throw a BIG THANKS to the following

Grand New Flag

RobbieF

DD36 (even though your joke was in bad taste!)

demoneyes (even though your dates were a bit off!)

Really appreciate your information and it was spot on.

For someone like me who has no contacts or sources it greatly appreciated.

Cheers fellas

Damien Barratt, Jon Ralph and co would also like to say thanks for helping them earn a crust.

This could be the best weekend since I lost my virginity.

I just snorted my beer... great call

Welcome aboard, the Cesar Millan of the AFL, Paul Roos, the Dees Whisperer. Hopefully after 3 years, the mangy muts will be turned into prize show dogs.

I think that you are boasting!


Yeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

If nothing else the MFC won't be shipped to tassie!!

But will there be any dwarf burning on Mad Monk-day?

Just listened to the full press conference and loved Roos' media presence and clarity. But amid all this great stuff I thought PJ was quite rude when he said this is the most important thing to happen to this club since Barassi walked to Carlton in 1965. No. Two grand final appearances in 1988 and 2000 were more important. The Roos appointment is a great coup and I am wrapped but I didn't appreciate that comment from PJ at all. Disrespectful to others who worked hard years before he got here.

PJ is right.

We lost both GFs. Today we won massively. And I mean massively.

Today might be the day that leads us to win a GF, instead of just appearing in one.

  • 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?
