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.

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.

Haha gold, something else for North to whinge about!

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

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.

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.

Great get, the fact that we've taken him from North just makes it so much better too

No wonder they aren't impressed with us :P

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
