Melbourne has moved on from Roos

[Hannibal 5,814]

There seems to be a lot of smokes and mirrors atm.

Hope we don't burn Chocco, Eade and Craig just to satisfy the media, will be disappointed if that's the case.

Does Peter Jackson strike you as someone who'll pander to the media, or any other external parties ?

Posters must sit around pondering different ways things can go pear shaped and then share it with the world.

The other thing that doesn't cease to amaze me is the absense of thought given by posters to the timetable. I would like to know when the last time a new coach was finalised and announced at the 3/4 mark of the current season. (The only thing that has been strongly hinted at is we want an experienced man) This timetable is especially significant in our case considering we are searching for a head of football, new president, board members, AFL $$ and possible special draft picks. I am sure all prospective coaches have noticed these missing pieces and even Roos' with his "not at the moment" comment may turn out to be "not interested at all" by seasons end but I am sure he like all others have some sort of interest on how all these missing pieces will fall.

We are burning no one. There need to be some understanding by posters that nothing will be finalised until season end.

personally i think its all been a stunt to shift the spotlight,

its always been all about Roos for us, no more settling for second best

Why is Choco second best?

It's just a very good thing that you don't do that BH.

[beelzebub 23,390]

Why is Choco second best?

Not everyone thinks he is

But the band wagon has a lot of folk clinging to the notion that its Roos or bust

Hes the darling , not the nutty whacko . Its not de rigueur apparently to want the nut.

I'd counsel you against hero worship, or unnecessarily elevating the status of others, but I accept it's a modern day phenomenon.

Fawning will only strengthen your insecurities.

For me he is a close second to Roos, they have similar sorts of records, but Roos had a hand in the great culture at the swans and that is exactly what we want/need, having said that if it were announced tomorrow we were going to be coached by any of the big four, Roos, choco, eade or craig i would not be at all unhappy with any of the above and i am very confident we will get one of them.

Thats all i do BH sit around and think of how things can go pear shaped. Geez don't u? It's a dees supporters right!

We are the kings of "different ways things can go pear shaped" NOTHING would suprise me after the last 6 yrs. (and yes I know a new boss is at the helm but would like to c "proof in the pudding" for a little while longer.

seeing as there is no antonym for pear-shaped what is one supposed to do then?

[Return to Glory 8,453]

No. I'm above such petty thinking.

You are a deep thinker BH. There's no denying it.

I'm right thanks - best you stay on your side of the world.

[Return to Glory 8,453]

BH, you should start a thread for deep thinkers only.

[Deeman 1,532]

BH, you should start a thread for deep thinkers only.

There already is one here.

[Return to Glory 8,453]

There already is one here.

My mistake Deeman. Apologies. I was thinking more along the line of a thread where BH has sole editing rights based on what he determines as meritorious. It just needs a name.

[Chook 15,023]

There already is one here.

He said deep thinkers, nor deep drinkers.

If we throw even more at roos and he does take it, what does that say about roos. I get the feeling it's mostly about money when he keeps saying 'not for now'.

If he took it he is a hypocrite.

Sorry, but this is just BS.

If Roos was only in it for the money, then he would have taken the Carlton job. A squad in a better position and a better resourced club. They offered him more than a million, he knocked it back.

The money will be a bonus for Roos, but it will not be the reason for him coaching next year, if he does.

He has proven that.

Boom goes the dynamite, stuie.

[Choko 493]

Roos will not coach Melbourne, and Melbourne has moved on from Roos.

I think Craig is odds on to get the job, although I think it might be a mistake.
