WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

[old dee 23,792]

OD The coach will pick his assistants anyway

I realise that bb

But we won't have to pay them out!

[dazzledavey36 54,947]

Anyone with Foxtel can give us a rundown on if anything gets brought on the couch regarding Roos?

cheers

[hardtack 10,537]

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.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

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

[timmyo64 44]

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?

[Sideshow Bob 2,386]

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.

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 ?

[Grimes is Great 183]

Jackson hasn't spoke to him for 3 weeks, wonder if someonelse from Mfc or Afl has?

If they haven't surely we have touched base with other candidates???

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

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

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

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.

[The HuLK 139]

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"

[Pata 16]

His interest will become apparent at the end of the season. Will cause too much issues with the current coaches if it comes out now.

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.

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

[beelzebub 23,377]

ahh good to see we can all call it clearly

[Adam The God 30,261]

He'll coach us, don't you worry.

[McQueen 17,864]

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

[DemonOX 8,791]

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

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

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.

[demonkeaney 61]

He's had many opportunities to put this issue to bed and still leaves the door ajar. Why wouldn't he just put it to bed once and for all?

Hmmmm

[hardtack 10,537]

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

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.

[Redleg 40,926]

I think it is all very clear.

He will not Coach us unless he does.

To put it another way, he will coach us unless he doesn't.

Clearly doesn't want to undermine the present Coach.

[beelzebub 23,377]

I thought as much ,unless I didnt !!

[Jaded No More 68,922]

I'm so confused.
