Melbourne has moved on from Roos

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 ?

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.

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.

Peter Jackson.

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.

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?

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

Big FAT NO to knights, Sheedy and burns( unless as an assistant)

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.

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

Says the guy with a different picture of the same supermodel every day.....

 

Boom goes the dynamite, stuie.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
