Melbourne has moved on from Roos

Featured Replies

I think Roos would be good for culture but does his and Lyons game plan suit our list?

TBH I would prefer Eade, Choco or Craig.

These 3 still have a burning desire to get to (or back to) the pinnacle.

Eade was the last on the list of 3 for me originally, but after reading the link below I actually think he would be the perfect fit for us list wise and in most aspects of the coaching role.

Fark Roos !! He is playing a game and I cannot ever see his heart being in the Melbourne Football Club... MOVE ON please or Miss out... again.!! Choco or Craig and if Craig has been told by PJ he would not be in the mix .. (when handed the temp. position) then Choco is the logical choice,,, I like the man's passion... I feel Roos may want too much for Roos and not enough for the MFC.. (my opinion on observations made when he has been asked the question)... :blink:

the rules i think are different THIS year....as a lesson from last year.

Not advocating it .. but don't we get into more trouble when we don't REALLY break the rules ?? Tanking fine ?? "Clayton's' offence ? we have to be ruthless... Bite the bullet.. How are Essendon doing over the Peptides ? How many times have we decided to stand back and "do the right thing" only to be walked over later ? Scully (a small example ) Was that all above board ? :rolleyes:

Im sure there occurrences of two people just happening upon a cafe and sharing a coffee.. Happens all the time :rolleyes:


If you take a step back and think about it, we really are spoilt for choices;

I would have loved Roos, but stuff him if he wants to play games.

Eade and Choco - I originally thought Choco but after reading the above linked article about Eade, I'm starting to shift.

Craig - going well. But given last 1.5 years with Neeld think the club re sponsors and members need a fresh start.

Oh the choices....good luck panel, all 3 of them are A grade IMO.

Not sure when Freo interviewed Ross Lyon last year ?? MUST have been before season's end as he knew before the Saints last roster game... Just saying.. :cool:

It was the year before.

2011.

thanks for correction.. time does fly .

You're assuming that he'll keep his 2010 gameplan. Highly unlikely. Good coaches develop and try to stay ahead of the eightball. That's partially been our problem with the last two coaches. Outdated game plans. If Roos is to coach us, he wouldn't implement an outdated plan.

mate roo "s would take all the basic errors out of players and improve us 35%

forget about game plans, just fixing the basics would make us very watchable

notice I gave the teachers something to write about with his name


The basic errors come down to confidence and experience. If we're not experienced, it's hard for anyone to rectify those errors. I do concur with what you proffer though, jazza.

Rocket is the only experienced coach who was quoted that he still has fire in the belly.

I think he is the only one on the list who will put his heart onto it because he still wants to win a flag. Let's hope for him and ourselves that third time's a charm for Rocket.

Always said Roos wouldnt coach us. Mark Williams for me. He can bring Dustin Martin with him too.

Certainly is a convincing read.

I would still like to see craig stay on in some capacity if melbourne ran with eade or choco.

Roos to coach us, i will bookmark that chump, let it go.


Was just listening to SEN and Craig Hutchison and he was talking about the Coaching position and he spoke about Leigh Tudor and what he has done with the Cats the Saints and now Sydney very impressive resume could be worth a chat to.

any other year , maybe

The parameters are set. Tier 1, experienced and mature AFL coach with September credentials

As an assistant coach

Rocket is the only experienced coach who was quoted that he still has fire in the belly.

Still prefer Ratten to Eade.

He also said best available coach not just an experienced one, must admit I think Hutchy is a [censored] but he did make sense on Tudor, but I would still look at Williams before Eade as he left the Doggies in bad shape as we can see now.


Article in today's West Australian suggesting Worsfold needs to state his intentions if he hasn't already and the WCE need to contact Roos, if they haven't already.

IMO McQueen this has been Roos primary objective all along.

I would not be surprised if Worsfold decides to stay all of a sudden he will have conversion to the Dees.

...and Williams really left Port in good shape.

I guess Craig did leave Adelaide in good shape so he should be the front runner with this logic.

One thing for certain is that it will be a senior coach and not a current assistant. Also any of the current assistants looking to step up to a senior job in the now to distant future would see Melbourne as a bad career move and that's fair enough. We will need to pick up some just out of the game just starting their apprenticeship or career assistants.

interesting take

It'll be another quality candidate. Played in two flags and coached one and a runner-up.

  • 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.

    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.
