WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Recommended Posts

From what I read a few weeks back both Eade and Williams are barred from any future coaching interviews until their respected team has finished it's season (including finals). This was something the AFLCA have put in place.

PJ has simply contacted their agents to touch base and to obviously have the message passed on that we are keen.

I believe Richmond has given us Permission to interview choco and Collingwood refused with Eade, i was told we were interviewing choco for the first time the week of the Brisbane game in Darwin.

I hope your right.

It was on the AFL website i believe, but yeah i would have thought that would give Choco a big edge over Eade from the get go, if he didn't already have one.

I haven't read this whole thread so apologies if this has been raised previously. A mate of mine is a stockbroker with a client in Perth. Roos recently purchased a property not far from Rossy Lyon.... Lets just hope it's an investment property!

That would explain why he was on the 5:30am flight out of Melbourne the other week.

Roos youngest is in year 12 next year, not keen to move him, until he has finished school. Worsfold has let it be known he wants to coach on. He will hand over to roos at the end of 2014.

Bet I'm right.

You may well be! Have heard the same re his son and high school... Roos did say on OTC that he is not interested in coaching ' at the moment' but never say never! 12 months time might be 'the moment' ?? If Woosha gets a 1 year extension then I think the jigsaw puzzle will be complete!

Yes I thought that was his reasoning for not going into coaching last year.

On that alone a decision before the end of the year is just silly.

Are you a father?

Would you move your son about to go into his final year of school into a different state with completely different education curriculum? Especially when you aren't short of cash or out of a job. Seems pretty logical to me.

Roos was speaking at the NGV tonight. Bucks, Ball, The North Leadership Group among the attendees. Didn't see any dees there but there were a couple of hundred in attendance. He was asked about the Melbourne coaching job by none other than Ron Barassi himself. Every other answer he gave that night was long with explanation, with that it was a simple no. However, for the rest of the night he used Melbourne as an example when he was talking about building culture within an organisation, getting the right people in etc. He thinks the world of PJ.

He said his son was the reason for not taking the offer last year if i remember correctly, strange he has not straight up said that was the issue this year, because one would think if it was he wouldn't even leave the door ajar, not saying that's not the case because i really have no idea

have certainly been convinced if nothing else he is on side with our club.

If it's not Roos I reckon that would be a great outcome.

Totally agree mate, Adam Simpson would be a fantastic influence on our midfield.

Can't really be Eade because as far as i am aware Collingwood aren't letting us interview him, would be abit stupid to hire someone without having a formal interview.

Eade has made it clear he'd be interested in the position as he's a career coach. He said that on 360 many weeks ago. Melbourne also know his coaching credentials and ability to foster young teams.

No formal approach is required right now, but it doesn't mean that we and he aren't very interested in each other.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
