Dawes interview interesting in regards to coaches. Also gives a good insight into what Craig has done since taking over i.e making players train in the gear they wear on the game day (no skins) etc. Worth a listen:

    Will he bring Ross Lyon? It was Lyon who was the brains behind the Swans' two grand finals in 2005 and 2006.

    So Longmire took a back seat?

    This guy just oozes smarts, leadership and class. He's a future senior coach, is Chris Dawes.

    Damn, my ex boyfriend worked for sportsbet, would've been able to find out what was happening!!

    Don't let that hold you back, give him a call the good folk of DL need to know!

    Maybe he has asked if a couple of handshake agreements may be able to loosen up if he comes on board.

    I'm waiting for the day Roos says just plain no. Until such day, he is as much of a chance as any other candidate.

    Come out and say "it's not going to happen, I will not coach Melbourne next year" and I'll move on. Until such time, I am holding onto the dream like a fat kid holds onto his ice cream.

    Roos has said that things would want to change (within him) for him to want to coach again. Who knows what this means? Could Roos be saying that he doesn't want to coach the MFC in their current structure? That's not saying his heart isn't in it, that's just demanding a level of professionalism that he expects if he were to consider applying.

    I don't think that's a bad thing. An experienced, premiership coach wanting to see changes before he makes his mind up - would've thought that was perfectly fine for what we are wanting.

    He will bang it on the head tonight, it's a pipe dream, he said 2weeks ago OTC he won't do it.

    "It has been a massive go, we don't normally see this much action in a coaching market unless people have some inside information," Centrebet's Michael Felgate said.

    Did he say he won't? Didn't hear him say that.

    What normal person would believe a single word that came out of Hirds mouth?

    While I agree that we should not get Blight-ed, we cannot 'interview' Williams or Eade until September/October so don't fear the wait - the wait is going to be there. We won't miss out.

    I am very confident that one of Roos, Williams, Eade, or Craig will be head coach next year.

    Actually no he didn't say that at all, the fact that several months ago he said no, and now he is actually prepared to talk to PJ says otherwise in my eyes.

    I would be amazed if he said ANYTHING definitive tonight.

    Primus said something definitive, Roos recently has been anything but that.

    Where is he going mjt?

    I am not aware of any other positions on offer at the moment.

    If my memory is correct the only jobs up are Us, Lions and Eagles

    No one can talk to Williams till the end of August and with the tigers likely to be in finals then early September.

    And after that who's says he is better than Eade or Craig?

    My feeling is that ths whole paul roos betting plunge is a load of crip. Punters can only bet 20 on it so the bookies couldn't care less about losing money on it. just a publicity stunt by the bookies and it has worked as everyone is talking about it.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
