Melbourne has moved on from Roos

[Its Time for Another 4,058]

Roos tweaked an already happening club, albeitly got them the next level up but some might say all thehard was was already done ( by Rocket ) .

This is absolute crap. He walked into a team that had just had 6 key players retire including Paul Kelly, Andrew Dunkley, Troy Luff, etc etc. They had at best, a very workman like midfield against arguably the greatest of all time at WC and manufactured a Premiership.

[Its Time for Another 4,058]

I would imagine the Essendon job may also be available next season too. From what i remember he isnt even on a massive contract at Freo, only that it was a long term 4 year deal. The figure 650-700k a season seem to ring a bell.

All this is obviously hypothetical. The rumour itself though re him quitting the Dockers due to personal reasons came from Freo people so you just never know!

Very surprised more haven't raised this prospect before.

If you were Roos and you had the opportunity to walk into Essendon with where they are at or walk into Dees which would you take. You wouldn't know the answer to that until you knew the outcome of the investigation. If half the list gets banned for 6mths you might not take it but on the other hand the Club is very strong, stable, heaps of resources a very good list on the verge and low expectations for next year if they get hit with sanctions.

I would say he's very comfortable where he's at now unless something very enticing comes up. MFC wouldn't be enticing right now. No Board, No Footy Dept Head, No List Manager, No midfield, Questionable financial viability. I'd say he and probably the others being discussed would sit back and wait before they even consider it. See if there is going to be a decent Board appointed who have enough knowledge to help the Coach and team become successful. See who PJ appoints as Footy Dept Head and List Manager. They could appoint people he or the others can 't work with for some reason. Who knows. But you'd think they would all sit back and see who gets appointed to all those roles before making any decision.

Interesting Corey McKernon on Open Mike said last night he should have left Carlton as soon as he found out that Pagan was appointed as coach. This might well apply to some of the appointments being made and some of the coaching prospects. Who knows.

As for Williams. A complete nut job as far as I'm concerned. Neeld has shown that the role of a development coach is very different to a Head Coach. His first actions on winning a Premiership were to jump up and make a derogatory gesture directed at the team's main sponsor. He decided to announce Dean Bailey as MFC's next coach instead of allowing the MFC to do it. Bizarre, unprofessional, irrational behaviour. Says it all as far as I'm concerned. No Williams for me.

The West Coast position may become a little clearer over the next week.

I'm still holding out hope for Roos..............any one else is a B plan in my book.

Roos to Essendon rumours are flat out fantasy.

Roos to Essendon rumours are flat out fantasy.

This doesn't make sense, unless Bomber Thompson will be leaving Essendon? How do people expect Essendon to be able to pay Thompson and Roos, as well as provide an environment where they could work together? Have they started selling drugs too?

[whatwhat say what 20,386]

It's time knows where it's at.

And I agree - it will be disappointing if we don't land Roos. Otherwise I'll be okay with Eade.

Worsfold certainly needs to earn a decent income, with divorce proceedings ahead and a fairly heavy financial hit with a failed business venture. He will always be sort after in WA and as a I said last week the decision as to who coaches Meth Coast next year rests solely with Woosha!

[Ted Lasso 17,318]

Voss and Worsfold look like staying on so that helps our chances, if he wants to coach

Saw Paul Roos on a 5.30am flight to Perth this morning.. Any reason why he would be heading there? And that early?

Where from Sydney, where he lives, Adelaide where your avatar says you live or another port of departure, although I seriously doubt your post, Roos is no idiot so lets fly into Perth in full view of all and sundry!

Meth Coast play the Dogs in Melbourne this week and that is where any meeting would have happened

[Ted Lasso 17,318]

Would still be willing to bet on Roos coaching us next year, but i'd prefer choco

Just read the article regarding Worsfold was written by Kim Hagdorn.................based on that, and your sighting, he must be heading over to seal the deal!

Haha, good work Beelzebub.

No new news on potential future MFC coaches....

Things seem to be staying inhouse a bit more with Jackson at the helm.

Im not..youre coming here and professing a fact

fact is Jetstar had no 5.30 flight

Now you may well have seen Roos, but you get jumpy the sec someone questions validity.

according to qantas the first flight was 6.30...just saying

Can someone advise if the coaching position will be organised prior to Jackson going os?

[Shmity29 61]

Lining up.. Why's that?

[Little Richard 5,943]

This story seems to be unraveling, in the initial post you said you saw him on the flight...
