Melbourne has moved on from Roos

[Young Dee 1,303]

This thread is becoming an absolute joke - if it wasn't already!

Worse than the tOm scully thread (to much speculation and that's why I have refrained from posting here)

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

He's here at my place. Cooked him a ripper fat steak and got rid of a few brewskis whilst trying to convince him to take on the top job.

All he's giving me is "not at the moment," whatever that means...

Make sure you keep Roos hostage, don't let him leave until you've signed him for 5 years

I'm glad we have moved on from Roos, it will be interesting what direction we go: Chocco or Eade?

I'd like to see Chocco get his chance.

Dont think we have moved on just looking at other options aswell. Still in the hunt but being saying it all along he wont coach us. Chocco for me and he can bring Dustin martin with and tell him to give taylor adams a call aswell.

Williams had a chance.

*Spoiler Alert*

He took it.

I'm still confident we'll get Roos. He has not ruled himself out nor has the club (contrary to weird Hun articles and headlines). I would assume the club and roos both were keen to hose down the constant speculation and associated noise as it is distracting and unnecessary.

Roos will wait 'till he knows what other jobs are on the table, what concessions the club might get and who the prez is before deciding. Why would he do otherwise? In the mean time play shtum and the media and public, both of which have the concentration span of a goldfish, leave him be.

Lining up.. Why's that?

If I didn't know better, I'd guess this was some stooge like Jay Clark doing his best to create a rumour so that he has something to write about this week...

If he'd only checked the airlines' schedules it might have been more convincing

Good planning is everything !

like most things OD, its all in the preparation !!

Funny though . If the post had said 6.30 i wouldnt have thought twice in all likelyhood., as it might and still is plausible he might have gone there. Though clandestine get togethers are easier in a big town like ours

ahhh smoke and mirrors , spoons and daggers !!!

[DemonOX 8,779]

Is anyone else in favour of this

Melbourne eyes Dean Laidley as possible senior coach

I would prefer Chocco, Eade or Craig before this guy.

He just doesn't sell it to me. Cant see membership or sponsors increasing at a rapid rate either.

Laidley to me seems to have some of Neeld's psycho chicken anger focusing qualities. Usually to where it should not be focused as we now know better.

[Ted Lasso 19,282]

I think PJ just wants to know exactly what's on the table before they start making serious considerations if Roos doesn't accept in the meantime, would think during the selection process the quality of blokes like Williams and Eade as coaches and just the records over a long period of time would get them over the line ahead of Laidley, Knights and Ayres

Agree Demonfan but I wouldn't even put knights in any of the above (previous coaches) league.

Selfishly, you would like to see Woosha, Voss and Hird stay on as coaches of their clubs. That would mean you know who coaches us or no one else.

Looking more and more like Woosha and Voss will be staying on, have no idea of the Hird situation but even if he is moved on i doubt they could afford bomba and Roos

One thing he has over Neeld is some form of success as an AFL coach, or even just a previous AFL coaching career, to back up the stern words. When you're telling a room full of players about your hard arsed approach to footy and advising them that no-one's spot in the side is safe, it doesn't have much resonance when everyone in the room is thinking, "who is this guy again?"

Hird would be on at least a $1million a year.

Good thing he took those peptides.

Help him carry his wallet.

But for how much longer?

[rpfc 28,249]

But for how much longer?

Depends when they wear off?

Looking at his team - he has got a few good months of extra strength and muscle twitch.

If he'd only checked the airlines' schedules it might have been more convincing

On the subject of airlines, I'm off to Fiji on the weekend and I heard the airport has once again raised parking fees. So this time I thought I might support a competitor instead. I checked the Airports website and for the 8 days for what it was going to cost me - around $120. I then noticed this Get a Quote section, I never normally would type it in but I thought why not - Spat out this "supersaver deal" that if you prebook on line I could get it for $69.

Btw, I'm not a Tighta+#e - I just hate paying those pricks soooo much money to park in a glorified paddock!!!

Ps. I'm bored....
