Nice attitude.

Give one reason apart from money why he would coach us, that club is an absolute basket case, they make Port look like they have a bright future, its pathetic, all those draft picks, debt paid off and this garbage they still serve up after 7 years, how can you gets kids to follow this rabble.

Why would any CEO at a football club go away for a month during the season

Because he had already planned before he got appointed CEO and told the AFL he had it already booked.

Mike Shehan / 3aw tweeted Roos is a 3/10 chance of coaching melbourne next season! Forget him coaching us

Why does this stupid charade continue? If Roos is out then let's just get on with life.

 

if roos is out, move on to choco

How about the challenge?

Growing his legacy?

The prestige of resurrecting a club that has been in the wilderness for half a century?

Being a head coach again in a situation where he will be given whatever he says he needs to succeed?

Coaching in Melbourne where he grew up?

It's not that hard to think of some plausible reasons.

Maybe it's because most of our high draft picks have thus far shown SFA

Oh just [censored] off and cancel your account already then go to the toilet and empty your head

The other way of looking at Mike S tweet is that he has been saying for a while that Paul Roos is zero chance and now it is30%

Maybe it's because most of our high draft picks have thus far shown SFA

You don't seem to even understand what the topic is.

Please read it again

Mike Shehan / 3aw tweeted Roos is a 3/10 chance of coaching melbourne next season! Forget him coaching us

What does that even mean? Is Shehan giving himself an out on being wrong? Is Roos flipping coins? Does he keep yelling "No! No! No! Yes!" Have 3 of Shehan's gun sources said yes while 7 said no?

What a stupid tweet. He's either 100% yes or 100% no.

This other rubbish is Mike trying to read tea leafs and body language. Next story will be him and Robbo trying to feel the bumps on his head.

*Sigh*

- Disclaimer : I'd like Ratten, but if the AFL wants to pay Roos $39.6M per game, then who am I to stop them?

The same Mike Sheehan who called us the next superpower. How is that prediction working out for you champ

Or having the financial and people backing of the AFL.

Or having what Roos said was a promising list that had a number of holes to be filled.

I see it as a great challenge for a guy that loves to create success. If he wants to coach again, he'll take it. If there is no coaching drive left, he'll say no.

I just wish he would make up his mind so that WE can get on with it whether that is him being coach or not.

TBH I am becoming over all the speculation.

Why would any CEO at a football club go away for a month during the season

Because he has a life. And probably because he had it booked before he joined us.

There is a world outside football you know......

i am pretty sure this is all about Roos' family. If they say no, it's no.


I wonder if this sub committee will target people for assistant coaching roles.

I'm hearing Roos wants a succession plan ala Longmire. If true that would mean at least one new assistant comes in next year. Of course, Roos would probably want to handpick them.

I have a feeling there will be more than 1 new assistant. I am pretty sure all assistants would be out of contract.

Mark Stevens on game just said jungle drums are beating and its nearly a done deal. 1 mill a year llus his own coaching group.

Still not confident.

 

Mark Stevens seemed confident we'll get Roos, on Ch 7's game day

Ok, so who out of Stevens and Shehan is the most reliable rumour monger?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
