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?

    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.

    My hero.

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    He said deep thinkers, nor deep drinkers.

    what...theres a difference ?? :o

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • 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.
