Absolutely spot. The fact Mike Sheehan son tim tweeted as early as round 2 about us talking to Roos was also true. AFL phone Roos and put in a case for him to come back to coaching. Neeld was a dead m

To all on here, STOP HYPERVENTALATING! Roos made it very clear that he would not interrupt the celebrations of the 2013 season by formalising his appointment before the B&F. No doubt WC will put

A certain manager of a certain high profile, high draft pick who's contract is up, has told me that it has been confirmed to him by our club that Roos will be coach. This story has played true since

Why did we not sign up all the assistants on three year contracts like the head coach? That seems a little strange.

Apparently Brown and Rawlings got 2 year contracts when Neeld came on board, and Royal got a three year contract from 2011 under Bailey.

That's the info I have heard.

LOL. Mate. Have you been attending nutbean's seminars on "how to have a successful marriage" again? (Sorry, nutbean!) I don't know too many women who would just move interstate at the behest of her husband without it being a two way decision. Honour and obey died out years ago.

I have many strengths - selecting suitable marriage partners is apparently not one of them.

Is it today that the AFL ratify or reject our assistance package?

Yes would think we will hear either late today or tomorrow on the outcome.

If correct rpfc that is the best news I have heard today.

We have a crap list but if we are to have a new coach it would be good for them to pick their assistants.

OD The coach will pick his assistants anyway :)

I wouldn't think the AFL will release wether we are getting a PP prior to the season finishing.

If we won a few games after it was announced there would be another round of outcry from the other clubs

They might not announce it but if they have made the decision, well as we know the AFL leeks like a sieve.

...couldn't care about the other clubs by the way.

even if we win a few games we have been a bottom 4 quality side for 7 years

The only winnable game I can see in the run home is the Bulldogs, so that's 3 for the season, that's a paltry return.

Round 19 not "winnable"?

If that's the Giants at Blacktown then I think they will start favourites, how can you win games if you can't get the ball inside 50, I was impressed with the Dogs yesterday as well, we will be very lucky to register again this season WJ.

im inclined to side with this. Only caveat is the drier the track the better our chances. Seemed like a couple of wheel fell of the wagon saturday, maybe they can get them back on.

I love how fickle we are. Put in some effort? We could win 5 more games. Have a poor day? We won't be a chance again!

may I put it to you its not us as such that are fickle.....more so say about 22 odd blokes !!!! :unsure:

our attitude remains pretty much the same depending on outcome ^_^

The same, or close enough to, 22 blokes plagued two teams in two weeks. Week 1 we play Ok, week two we pay poorly.

The difference isn't the players it's the supporters. We extrapolate form from 1 week to the next ten then change our extrapolation based on every data point.

When we played Ok against the dogs and swans people were talking about is winning 4 more games. We get beaten by the cats now we won't win another??

I see a different logic to this.

Same 22 >>> Different performance( effort ) >>>> different outcome>>>>>> different forecast

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
