Paul Roos as Head of football after contract ends. Will it happen?

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...

is this a poll ?? :unsure:

 

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.

Reckon they both said "The Price is Right Come On Down " !

Centre half back.

 

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


Jesus Hoges you're getting in early! Let's get the coaching type stuff at least started before we consider post career options!

Edited by Bitter but optimistic

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.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
