Alot of people said that maybe Roos wouldnt have the dedication and passion to coach and was only in it for the money. But to fly from Sydney to perth just to talk to have a chat to Hogan shows hell alot of dedication to me.

On ya Roosy.

I think Peter Jackson ran out of credit on his phone.

No but in all seriousness we should expect nothing less (I agree tho it does show he means business).

Fixed.

So basically no one can take the [censored] out of Trengove, Moloney or McDonald?

Moloney is not a Melbourne player. You can both take the [censored] and misspell his name.

Roosy really is fired up isn't he, i hope this rubs off on the players leading into a huge pre season for the club!

Roos is a proud man who sees a chance to leave a legacy on Aussie Rules bigger than anything he could have imagined.

He will want to go down in history as the man that resurrected the dying Demons.

The thing that makes it sweeter is when Roos says there this talent on this list, people sorta just laugh, i hope Roos makes them look stupid and fast,

i reckon we have the potential to turn this around real quick.

I'd much rather see Chip get an extension than Hogan at this point in time.

Why can't we do both? Lets think big...

Love the enthusiasm and back slapping but you guys need to read the article again. The trip to Perth was organised mid year according to Mahoney with a view to talk with new coach and about plans for hogan moving forward. This does not mean that he is going to talk to him about contract extension or the like as that is discussed with others in the football department. Roos will likely sit down and have discussion with Hogan and family about how the club will manage him in the coming season, more to reassure them that the club will keep the hype and expectations in check so he can have a really good debut and first season.

It is great that Roos is our coach but ppl attributing the decision to go to Perth as an inspired move on Roos behalf is a bit hysterical.

Remember D landers "He is not the Messiah, he's just a very naughty Dees Coach"

The conspiracy theorist also by continuing to say he had signed or agreed to coach earlier in the year means your saying that he is a liar and dishonest. As Roos has continually outlined that his views on coaching MFC had only changed a few weeks prior to signing. It's a bit hypocritical to call him wonderful on one hand and a bulltisher on the other.

Well Pug, it's just a conspiracy theory.

No one said they believed it.

Talking of conspiracies, I'm surprised that no-one has raised that which is most obvious to me: that members of the board have been in touch with Roos for 6 months (according to GNF) laying the groundwork for this Roos-coup and the it has gone off so successfully while other members of the board flailed away and sank. I think it less likely that the board acted in a coherent and effective fashion on this topic. Somewhere, a group of suits has plotted a way out of the Neeld mess, seen off the Stynes legacy board members and shoved the club away from the Hollywood Boulevard influences within and without.

If true, (perhaps a big if) this is the biggest successful political maneuver at the MFC to be good since..well, since I've paid attention...

All without leaks (except you, GNF).

Now THERE"S a conspiracy theory!

I don't think they'd be in it for that.

If I was capable of such mastery, I'd still be doing it for the personal pleasure of having pride in my club again, not self-aggrandisement.

Roosy's Checklist:

Burnsy

Hogansy

Selwoodsy

Sheuy

Sumichy

Qantasclubsy

LOL

Hopefully Paul Roos Galvanizes this group like Steve Waugh did when he became the captain of the Australian cricket team!! Would love 16 straight haha!

Does that mean you are expecting him to play?

Was it the Board the leaks were coming from our an ex-CEO with a shiney wooden desk?

Well Pug, it's just a conspiracy theory.

Yes there is that. But its just those that talk like it wasn't a conspiracy or a theory that puzzle me.

Good book The Magician, read it a number of times.

I think I have worn out a couple of copies of Magician over the years as I like to go through the series every so often. It easy to do because the books at last count were up to 30 different novel centred around a young boy from Crydee.

Haha, yeah I loved them too.

Have you read the Terry Goodkind series The Sword of Truth? IMO it is the best I've read - big call I know, but I reckon better than The Magician

I have heard of it but never read it. Will definitely check it out as need a new series to delve into.

My favourite character in the Riftwar series is Nakor.

Yes that is exactly where Hogan sits, potential but has not played a game yet. Not sure I agree with this hype. Not sure too many coaches would be flying over the continent to see a player we already have signed, who is going nowhere for 2 years and who is yet to play a senior game. I reckon if I was Roos I have a lot on and I will catch up with Jesse face to face when he is back training. Happy to check in by phone or Skype in the meantime. But then I am old school.

I'm pretty sure I read that the club promised to meet up with Hogan, his Family and Manager prior to the end of this year and they are fulfilling this commitment.

Plus of course, they are negotiating Selwood's trade terms.

Definitely worth getting into.

Been a year or so since I read the series, I can't remember Nakor - the name sounds Tsurani though??

My favorites were Tomas (pure power) and Meecham (for stealth)!

We haven't had any for a while its good to have positive thoughts; all the planets are aligning (or they appear to be).
