I get the feeeling that part of the arrangement with Roos is that when his initial contract is up he will take over as head of footy.

This is just speculation on my part, but I am wondering if anyone else thinksthat this is a good chance to happen? Yes I know its hard to say and its only early days, but PJ is a great planner and forward thinker

    Should probably change the thread title then...

    At the 8:15 minute mark of his initial press conference, Roos mentioned that he would have a longer term relationship with the club in some other way....So it makes sense that he will continue at Melbourne (just not sure in what position)

    Put a ? after the title.

    I don't think it will be the role Mahoney is in, but I think we can keep him around in an overseeing role that will allow him to explore what interests him and allow us to do what interests us; namely keep him on the payroll.

    I said this when we first got him that he would eventually end up overseas out FD.

    I for one would welcome it.

    Edited the thread title, sorry about that

    Director of coaching mentoring the new senior coach and probably getting involved in development in some role I'd hope.

    Use his coaching skills and expertise not stick him in administration.

    I prefer to look at the now

    but if i was to make a prediction i would say No

    I would like him to set up a "Demon Academy" along similar line to what he did with the swans.

    It would almost take us back to the days when we had Reserves , U19's and U17's

    A group of selected kids who are on a scholarship,but still linked to their TAC club.

    They can use the club facilities and get development support.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
