Apologies - I know there's a Paul Roos for coach thread already, but, having just watched OTC tonight, and having observed the slander directed towards him by Richard Colless and others at the Swans tonight, I felt angry.

Paul Roos is our man now. He's no longer our potential coach. He's now our leader.

Get behind him.

I love the man.

Of course, but the theatre of the off season also can also have bearing on a club, or at the minimum its supporters. I know that I feel some hope again after feeling dead inside all last season. That's worth more than I can put into words.

Yep, time to get behind him. Can't think of him anymore as the personification of the Swans. In Roos we trust.

Btw Ron, am I wrong in recalling you making similar posts/threads about Neeld? :)

I think your love is much better directed this time.

I am the same. Any other coaching appointment would have completely deflated me (if I could have been any further deflated after this season).

I liked the steel in the rooster's eyes when he talked of moving on.

Roos should stay with us then, as the Swans like every other team are our enemy that must be crushed at nearly all costs.

Unlike Messendon the MFC says NO to Drugs.

To the DH in SWANS, slander our King as much as you like, we just love him more and you just look like a bunch of LOSERS!

C'MON THE DEES!

Yep ... let's shed that nice guy image and start stepping on a few toes.

We should become the Ryan Crowleys of the competition both on and off the field.

I particularly like that sort of attitude on the field, especially during the coming period in which our players with talent are developing. If we play with that persistent in your face attitude week in, week out, then the 15 goal floggings become a thing of the past and we start winning games we were never expected to win.

If a large percentage of our game is played in the head, we've been headless for the past seven years.

Now we can start again.

Football is business, and Roos has committed to his role burning past bridges to ensure his future success.

Change is a powerful thing, and this club is showing clear signs of change.

Exciting times ahead under the direction of Roos.

Perhaps if we are on the front foot off the field the players will feel like the jumper is worth playing for.

You're right P Man. I'm a bit embarrassed about that. Took me a while to figure that bloke out. Too long in fact.

I think I'm on the money this time though, even if I initiated this thread after far too many birthday drinks ( ... scotch by the way).

The club/Roos are being proactive in recreating this place ( MFC) as a destination of interest for the upcoming silly seasoned circus.

Good work !!

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
