On another new staff appointment, George Stone is definitely coming from Sydney. The source is the closest to GS possible, and I can't be more specific, so don't ask. Announcement won't be made til af

Looks like it's Paul Roos for the next six to ten years then.

I'd almost prefer Dew to stay at Sydney for next year, we'd then be more likely to have Roos for 3 years as opposed to 2. Ain't nothing wrong with that!!!!

Must admit that this was the thought that came to my mind aswell

is Danny Frawley an idiot?

Coaches can leave if they are beingpoffered a prmotion, and Dew is being offered the senior coaching position at the MFC after a couple of years under Roos

Also, why do we think Dew is good enough to be the long term coach of the MFC? Roos has not seen him coach, has never sat next to him in the box.

It is fraught with danger.

Well lucky for us that Danny is looking after our best interests.

The answer to question 1 is yes.

And question 2, not quite sure what point you are trying to prove. Do you think those in power at West Coast watched Adam Simpson coach, or most other senior coach appointments for that matter. They just have to interview, gather as much info as they can, and make the best decision they can.

The headline makes it seem like he's a certainty but then later in the article there's a bit of doubt...

This whole successor thing is rubbish.

But if it did the job in landing Roos then it's fine by me.

Why so?

If Roos is not to be in the job in 3 years' time, would you not prefer that the coach that succeeds him has done an apprenticeship under him?

I think it's a good option, considering Roos doesn't want to be coach himself.

Because there's too much guess work. We know that some coaches are great assistants but [censored] poor senior coaches. And it also eliminates excellent potential candidates that may be worth considering in a year or two.

It sounds great in theory, but has structural weaknesses that could be avoided.

I accept that it got Roos, so it's been a brilliant concept, but I see major flaws.

It's different, I will give them that...

It gives a running head start to a prospective coach and allows them to learn of one of the best while being assured of their position.

And 'the Assistant Coach flavor of the month' wears thin with me. So as long as they pass TimD's EQ testing and Roos thinks they know footy - bring him in 3 years early.

Maybe we can develop some people for once.

Dew is coming out of the Sydney system, but also experienced the hawthorn ie Clarkson way of doing business.

Roos would have some interaction with Dew's coaching from his until recent involvement with the swans academy so its not a blind guess. We have not also targeted the next flavour of the month, ie tudor/burns/sumich who just missed out of senior jobs etc.

If you notice how Jackson and now Roos operated seems very planned and methodical.

If they believe Dew is the one, we'll know for sure over the next 2/3 years as they can change their mind. But with the right development we can have a great coach as a successor..

Melbourne declare its hand. Dees want Dew as successor

Offer on table but dew yet to accept is the official line from Sydney. You would have to think Roos has been in deep discussion with Stu and that the club wouldnt have tabled an offer otherwise.

Now it gets fun.. Lets play hardball. Lets remind Colless et al that they don't get everything their way.

Go Dees

sorry didnt see early links

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
