NEW Melbourne coach Paul Roos has lured part of his former premiership team from the Swans to join him at the Demons.

Brett Allison who this season was an assistant coach at North Melbourne, will reunite with Roos at AAMI Park.

The pair have previously worked together, with Allison heading up the Swans' development program in Sydney when Roos was the senior coach.

An experienced coach and a forwards coach for North this year which did real well this year.

Welcome Brett!

I presume he was an assistant with Roos when he was at Sydney? He certainly didn't play under Roos. So a very experienced assistant coach, good move.

Good.

That also explains Leigh Brown leaving. Allison the new forward line coach?

Haha gold, something else for North to whinge about!

"MFC get bankrolled by the AFL and steal our coaches"

A good guy and a good get.

No wonder they aren't impressed with us

Bring it on. Someone in the past said he wanted us to be the hardest team to play against. 2014 and beyond could be the most hated team in the league. Already approx 17 are offside for extra benefits that might be heading our way. Us against the rest gives the players an added reason to win.

Like to see us snipe someone from the Dawks , their Prez is already spitting chips.

He is very highlg rated and respected in both Sydney and North Melbourne.

Its a good move.

Can take a hanger!

So does this show that we have had Roos lined up for a while or have the MFC just worked quickly?

Does it say anything about him becoming the forward coach or could he become our development coach.

Is this guy highly regarded?

Good work PJ (and Roos) keep it up.

Man, I just can't keep up with your avatar changes

An aspect I like about this is the power of Roos to 'lure'

We're just seeing the start. Who else FD -wise and who player wise is genuinely exciting.

I think Roos will have had a few quiet chats with a few fellows over the recent journey !!

Haha fair enough

I have a friend who held a position at the club this season. He met with Roos yesterday. He says he's super impressive.
