in Melbourne Demons

He is honest and no BS.

The starting 22 will be fit and the best available.

No positions will be given on past history.

    He always talks down 1st year players too, which i like, so there are no unrealistic expectations.

    He had the Norm Smith Picture in the corner of the room.Not hung on the wall.

    I wonder if there is any significance to that.

    I am really glad that we didn't find a 'successor' just yet.

    Having Roosy as the main man running the show for 2014 will benefit us a lot more.

    Leaving that space free to hang up his photo as the latest premiership coach of the MFC.

    I liked the bit (paraphrasing): " they are good athletes,when they're running, their biggest deficiency is their game style running that we have to get up to speed".

    Implies a fit team that didn't know how to play, which about equals what I have seen game day.

    When Roos talks I believe it, what Neeld spoke I didn't.

    Uh oh.... he's got a swans coloured coffee 'keep cup' on the whiteboard ledge. Not good. ;)

    Notably absent is the "Keep Calm and Carry On" sign in the background. Neeldy obviously took that with him.

    Seems strangely amusing in retrospect. I guess they had run out of "It is what it is", "Didn't see that coming" and "All aboard the reality bus".

    No, that was probably torn up in a fit of rage

    Not so sure, hardtack. Rage involves emotion; not sure the previous incumbent actually had much of that.

    Neeld needed the Keep Calm and Carry On sign to remind him of what he seemed unable to do.

    The rooster doesn't need it - he just does it.

    I love Paul Roos.

    Still can't believe he's our coach.

    I also love whisky.

    Laphroaig.

    I agree. I still get happy chills when I see Roos in the red and blue.

    Laphroaig is a bloody great whisky.

    Exactly what we are seeing at training, getting them used to the game style running

    Won't be at the last training session unfortunately, have done a fetlock....trying too hard when you are old....

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
