Peter Jackson - On The Couch Monday 29th July, 2013

Featured Replies

Theres no ulterior motive

He is there as a guest as he took on the task of restoring the most dysfunctional footy club in history, and they would love to talk to him about the things he has implemented since hes been there, the state of the club when he arrived, all the sacking he has had to do and thee search for a new board, president and coach.

Even a non MFC person would think hes a great choice as guest.

 

Why do it, sees himself as a great savior maybe, hope he can handle himself better than Needle or Brock..

 

Bit like a job interview but in public.

PJ is the applicant btw ;)

Wouldn't mind seeing Roos put pen to paper on tele.

Sheahan and Healy were carrying on about how his signature is a couple of weeks away (a couple of weeks ago).

Dreaming?

Most definitely.

WWE style contract signing where it ends with the couch being tipped over and Gerard being thrown through the set.

I think they should go with this whatever.

The answer to that is that he wouldn't, he simply wouldn't go on if it was going to do 1% damage to his chances on signing target #1

either there is more to this, or the coaching situation will not be bought up at all.

The coaching will be brought up as its probably the most important topic at our club at the minute.

 

Commentators at half time on SEN coverage of the Sydney v Richmond game today laughed at the possibility of Roos coaching Melbourne. One thought he might be a chance at WCE if their board thinks its time for Woosha to go.

Same on the ABC. Didn't feel great listening to it but it is the reality of being the worst team in the league and at least 5 years from winning games regularly.


Half time of the Sydney v Richmond game the commentry team were talking about the state Melbourne & Roos said 'Yeah look I don't know what's going on down there' as if to say we're a basket case. I don't think he's any chance of coaching us.

Will PJ get down on one knee?

He bloody better not......I am sick of this club bending over....If Roos doesn't want the job he can**** off.......We will have a new coach and coaching panel next year and I will continue to support them all the way....

this club hasn't bent over for ages, it's just lays there and let's anyone have there way.

After the last seven years the MFC folding is far from the worst thing that could happen to me.

Not sure the MFC can drive me any lower.


Asking Roosy if he doesn't want to come would be another chapter written in the big MFC book of quick fixes/cheap gimmicks. We need someone who wants to be there (for more information, see Malcolm Blight/St. Kilda).

The comparison is odious as they say in the classics. I have no doubt, if Roos commits, he will be just that............ committed.

I like your optimism and to be honest, I think Paul Roos is smart enough to turn down the money. A more cynical part of me says that Melbourne will just throw a heap of AFL sponsored cash at him until he says yes. I guess my bigger point is that he needs to be signing on for more than just the dough. Mal Blight signed on for mostly money and ended up burnt by the experience. I hope, in the best case scenario, Roosy re-establishes my faith in football values by coming to Melbourne because he is motivated by the challenge or, in the worst case, he says no because the challenge doesn't appeal to him (but we find a good experienced coach anyway).

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
