Roos just categorically stated that money is not the deciding factor and that he is NOT interested in coaching Melbourne. Also stated he has not spoken to anyone at the club since he spoke to PJ 3 or 4 weeks ago.

same questions as usual, roos still could not completely end the speculation. "right now i'm not interested in coaching in 2014" maybe he may he mite GMF? surprised no one has asked this yet. He would be heavily involved but of the spot light. Maybe roos as GMF and someone like ling as coach? That gets me excited. If its true about him getting pick to hand pick his group then being GMF would make sense, he would assemble the football department. Surely if he came on as coach he wouldnt pick GMF?

Masterfully answered the direct questions without saying anything. Basically said nothing has changed. The Melbourne position is attractive, but but that he hasn't made any further decisions.

Just watching Roos on the couch, I see why he is a $1.90 pop.

He just won't rule it out will he.... Hmmmm

Sheahan asked him 'you must know now if you want to coach melbourne next year surely? Roos replied at this stage he doesn't. Mike followed up with 'so you won't coach melbourne next year? Then roos wouldn't say directly but reiterated he spoke to Peter Jackson 3 weeks ago and things haven't changed.

Funny he won't answer anything directly but it appeared more no then yes.

Cagey man. Never seen him totally up front though.

If he said that then how is that not categorical ?

unless there is something we dont know which is entirely possible i think a coffee with choco is a good idea, he doesnt seem to have his heart into the idea yet

Nothing in concrete will be said by Roos or anyone else until the end of the year. Roos will continue to dodge the questions so we better get used to it.

Was the first topic they spoke about on the couch.. Roosy did say that "he has no interest in coaching Melbourne next year" also stated "As silly as it sounds, Melbourne is an attractive club to look at coaching"

Seriously? I thought it was the complete opposite and he refused to rule out coaching Melbourne.

The beauty of this situation is we have quality, experienced coaches available if Roos falls thru.

On one hand Roos say he won't coach Melbourne then MS basically says so in 2014 u won't be coaching the demons and Roos said something like I don't want to make a closed statement.

I am confused and admit I have no idea if he will or not

The whole Roos to melbourne situation is no different to Hird a few years back. Surely we all know there will not be a definitive answer or statement from Roos until the end of the year when there is either a press conference with Roos stating he is excited by the challenge of coaching one of the oldest clubs in the world blah blah. Or a few days before we announce our new coach Roos states he was never interested in the job and only had initial discussions with Peter Jackson and it never went further then that.

Well, I was just paraphrasing the words he used... he did say "no interest" and he did say money is not the selling point. I was hoping we would get him, but I seriously do not believe we will get him now based on those comments; and the club simply cannot afford to wait for him to make a decision at the risk of losing other potentials.

And GrimeisGreat... he said that he had spoken to no-one at the MFC since he spoke to PJ.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
