The Successor

[mitch 127]

Ling?

Tudor?

Simpson?

[Grimseyisgod 378]

I'd like ling.

It looks like Tudor will coach the lions.

I'd be pretty happy with Simpson and Ling

[PartyTimeJohnny 537]

yeah probs one of them

[Guest]

Cam Ling would be nice. I'm sure Roos will make the best choice though

[Young Dee 1,303]

Ling?

Can we get an untried coach?

Shouldn't we get someone with a bit of experience but is still young (is there anyone that fits that bill?)

I guess we can get a bunch of possible successors and choose the best when the time comes (can't heart to have a handful of aces in our deck)

There must be an enthusiastic, young successor out their with some coaching experience.

No doubt PJ has cast his net before signing in Roos.

[Little Richard 6,262]

Can't we just concentrate on the coach that just signed at the moment?

Roos' deal is open ended anyway, this successor could be taking over in 3 years or even 8 years.

[PaulRB 6,361]

Voss? or Kirk?

[Sir Why You Little 37,021]

Bit early for this Guys...i want Roos for at least 3 years.

[Young Dee 1,303]

Voss? or Kirk?

Voss is a possibility if he is ready to learn and still has the enthusiasm.

[Young Dee 1,303]

Bit early for this Guys...i want Roos for at least 3 years.

The longer we can have a successor under Roos - the more they can learn (not just from Roos but also about the team)

[PaulRB 6,361]

They have put it out there from the announcement today.

Hence, it's on the table that they are likely to decide Melbourne's next coach with the appointment of the Senior assistant.

[Ted Lasso 19,494]

My preference is tudor

[Sir Why You Little 37,021]

Yes but FCS the guy has just had his press conference.

Roos has to make this work. At the moment it is about HIM not who takes over.

[Young Dee 1,303]

Could we steal Burns from West Coast? .....(evil laugh)

Ling from channel 7?

Leigh Tudor from Sydney?

Who else?

This is our chance to get the best coaching panel in the league!

No need to put all our eggs in the one basket.

We will rule the world!!!!

Cameron Ling, two reasons first we get the premiership coach and then a premiership captian from two great clubs of the past decade. The other reason you get Ling and you hope Roos does 3 years, you get a Simpson, Tudor or another current assistant he most likely does 2.

[DeeSpencer 25,669]

I'd be happy for Tudor, Simpson or Scott Burns

If we went with Ling I'd be much more confident if Roos was keen to stay for 3 years.

I don't want another false start rebuild ala Bailey

[Nasher 33,613]

Three years is ages. Who knows who will be the next big assistant by then?

I agree with WYL, let's just focus on the Roos era for now.

[Elizabeth_11 2]

I would really like Roos to coach for 3 years and Ling to be the coach after Roos

[Ouch! 2,262]

Michael O'Loughlin, first indigenous senior coach of an AFL team.

Bit left field but I'll put it out there.

[Mad_Melbourne 877]

Brett Ratten

Michael Voss

Matthew Primus

Jade Rawlings

Paul Williams

Cameron Ling

James McDonald

They are my list any one of them will do me just fine as a successor.

First group would be my top priority as i feel they didnt even do that poorer job and really are unlcuky to have lost their job, all worked hard at afl level and could easily walk into the role after roos.

second group relatively untried, but would be good!

My ideal coaching group would have Voss or Ratten as the head assistant

Cameron ling and James Mcdonald as inclusions into our coaching ranks

[Giles 181]

For a moment there I thought you were talking about Roos' successor for 'On the Couch'.

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

Ling is a perfect fit. He will have plenty of time to learn while Simpson may think he is ready to go now. We are in a superb position to set up a decade of no dramas.

[Demon Disciple 12,118]

If it were to be Ling, as already stated it would probably mean that Roos would be likely to stay on into a 3rd year as coach of our club, and that can only be a good thing, for the supporters, the players and Ling!

It couldn't be Hird, could it?

Healy frowns upon peptide use.

Matthew Primus! Now that really is putting the Mad into Mad Melbourne. Have a look how much better Port are now they've got a coach who knows what they are doing.
