My guess is the location is favourable for Roos and he can get back to his Fitzroy roots.

Agreed

    Yes but not of coaching.

    His results at Brisbane have been poor.

    His dumb decision to pay a bomb for Fevola was a disaster and split the Club and hurt the player culture resulting in a number of key players leaving.

    A lesser favourite son would have been sacked for that almighty balls up

    Understand all that, but still appeals to me more than Williams or eade (assuming that Roos is out)

    I have always believed that single decision led to the Lions being where they are today.

    IMO it set back restructuring the club 3 years and Voss is where he is as a direct result.

    Why would Voss appeal to you more than Eade or Williams? both have built a list into a premiership contender.

    If we are looking for a coach who hasn't made a mistake will have to be a rookie.

    I am sure he has learnt his lesson from that.

    Understandable though. Still had brown, black, power at their peak and thought they could pinch one more.

    As a side note voss as coach could be a positive in attracting players to the club. I think this is a massive issue for the club going forward.

    Unfortunately that was one of a number of changers Voss was responsible.

    Excellent candidate for the QAFL.

    So brent is running around in a jumper of a sacked coach

    Nah, three time premiership captain, Brownlow medalist, and one of the hardest and most respected midfielders of his era.

    Good try though.

    Yeah, gotta feel for Beamer.

    He's out for the rest of the year with an injury so he's going to miss out on having the pleasure of playing under a caretaker coach again.

    Thats a shame because it would have been his 7th coach in 11 yrs of footy

    He knows how to burn 'em does Brent!

    Robert Walls said on SEN, that he believes that Leigh Matthews could be interested in another stint at the Lions...the plot thicnens

    leigh is over the best part of his life

    noticed on telly every now and then he is starting to waffle like old dee and wyl

    the younger players of today will give him a heart attack

    love the man but definitely past it

    btw stigga, didn't realise you had a death wish

    you normally make some sense to me anyway

    After he destroyed the culture at another Club?

    Aside from Neeld I can't think of a coach who has as badly damaged the list and culture in such a short space of time.

    And given you think Voss had Browm, Black and Power at their peak his poor results speak for themselves.

    Interesting they announce it on the same night Essendrug get hammered. WOn't be much bad press........

    Good, I hope Roos is quivering in his thongs at the prospect.

    I am beginning to think that the coaching role is just a joke.

    one man's rubbish is another man's treasure

    Exceptionally unlikely, IMO.

    Probably just hoping that if he mentions another old timer, someone will put his name forward in return,

    Biffen and myself have been trying to get back to our "Fitzroy roots" ,for some time, without success. Please give us a hint Clint ( like the rhyme) we are friendless.

    last year brent had the sads, instead of biting the bullett & playing for the jumper & club... now his coach has gone. I wonder of this irony will emerge to bite him on his backside in the near.

    Add Ian Stewart.

    Three Brownlows.

    Three premierships.

    One of the game's greatest players.

    Not a coach's clipboard.

    You mean the same club that defeated Geelong a few weeks ago?

    Clearly a shocking list and culture...

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
