I was 19 when I started posting here. I was 22 when my first was born, and her grinning baby face was my avatar for years before the forum software wiped it in an upgrade two years ago, and I haven't bothered to replace it. I turn 30 later this year. I think that about tells the story :-)

jump in the que nasher, jump in the que... your not robinson crusoe you know...

.... we have all to work to change this amateur run club of 48 Yrs. pity we didn't grab Kerry Packer to help us some time back. he would have bought the northern stand & turned it upside down.

& he would have told a few players back 8 - 10 yrs ago a few home truths.

    I remember her well Nasher. Lovely!

    You should put up her 8yo photo as your new avatar, as a reminder of how long it's been!

    There is a point where the club has to move on from Roos. We reached that point three weeks ago when he said 'no'.

    Do you mean because we move on or that we don't Stuie?

    MFC: "Hey Mr Roos, would you like to coach MFC?"

    Roos: "No thanks"

    MFC: "Oh ok then, thanks for your time"

    Is that how you think it should go?

    I didn't realize you wrote scripts Stuie. But I digress. I am sure PJ has/ is pushing to get Roos to the club. But eventually there is a need to move on based on strong indicators. Short of telling us to f$ck off, he doesn't appear interested at all. Hope I'm wrong but don't think I am.

    I'm sure PJ can do more than one thing at once.

    Would you like him to ask Roos to coach us in different dialects? What are you talking about?

    I think there is more to the situation, i highly doubt PJ would bother wasting the clubs time putting Roos on the shortlist if he wasn't fairly confident he was a decent chance

    Terrific if that's the case. But if its not we should move on.

    It was reported last night he was on the shortlist with Eade, Williams, Ratten and Craig

    I have no doubt that he's at the top of it. But that by extension doesn't mean he wants to coach us

    But surely a shortlist inclusion means they still consider him a very realistic chance

    I'm sure we're talking to more than one person about the job, and the conversations are ongoing.

    Oh, f$ck!

    it's about what we expected isn't it?

    These names are soooo tired!

    Who would you rather? i personally am thrilled to see we're going to have an experienced coach

    your right, Roos is not interested and l think we should get Chocko. l know Roos is a very successful coach but that negative football that he gets his teams to play drives me nuts. I went to a Melbourne-Sydney game at Docklands in about 05, the final score was around 8.6 to 5.7. l swore l'd never go and see a game Sydney played again or until he was not coach anymore. It was the worst game of footbal l've ever seen.

    I think he would probably develop a new game plan based around the strengths of our list.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
