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.

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

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%

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?

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.

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 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?

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
