    Listening to Lyon introduce him as "the best in the business" is nauseating.

    does barrett remind you of an undertaker?

    You may be hearing from the undertakers union by way of a defamation action for that one dc.

    If I was an undertaker I would be extremely offended.

    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?"

    And Laidley never had the Schwab millstone around his neck to make him a complete Fu-up.

    Heard Barrett speak but it was drivel as usual. Most jobs you give notice then stay 2/4/6 weeks. We all know footy is different, when a coach is sacked he packs his desk straight away. Choco was grubbed by Sheedy, he stayed until the end of the last game the left. What were his options?

    so even though Choco may want the MFC job and have the passion to lead us forward, that fool Vlad doesnt like the way Choco left the monstrosity that is GWS and so now he doesnt want him to have the gig at Melbourne?

    Vlad really needs to watch himself, he is out of line lately.

    choco to me is clearly the best option behimd Roos, surely the AFL will realise that

    i dont think Vlad ought to comment .

    Personally think Eade is a better choice, still not sure about Williams but I concede others see it the other way around.

    Williams has had 2 pretty messy departures from clubs not leaving on good terms, it might be a little bit of all about Mark.

    This is hilarious!

    Demetriou has said nothing.

    It's just Barrett playing pin the tail on the donkey.

    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.

  • Quote

    I don't think it will involve throwing more money at Roos.

    It'll be putting the other pieces in place. The right pieces.

    And I think it's perfectly understandable that he wouldn't want to say "yes" at this stage, and endure a media circus months before taking control. It'd be bad enough once you start work.

    It seems Melbourne has not moved on from Roos

    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

    No. Jackson would look like a complete 'doos' if he gave the other prospective coaches the run-around knowing full well that we had Roos in the bag.

    One last play now before the end of the season will give the club enough time to plan the interviewing and recruitment process for the other candidates.

    Why would we move on from anyone when decision time is not until seasons end.

    Its a game.

    I think it's more of a case that Roos has never been discounted by the club even though there was an advantage to letting the media run with that line. PJ and the coaching panel will still review everyone.

    I have a small bet on Roos as our next coach and I still have a gut feeling that this will result in a pay.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
