Who will Paul Roos successor be?

thought we needed a thread for this given it's one of the more significant things that will happen to our club this year.

i think it will be Jade Rawlings,

i'd like to see Todd Viney

Id like to see Daniel Giansiracusa retire from the doggies and come to the Dees as Roos apprentice. He is already considered a coach in waiting and with the right bloke teaching him the ropes could be something special.

If not Gia, then Brett Kirk would have to be a front runner given his history with Roos

I have it on good authority that Mark Neeld is making Carey Grammar the toughest school to play from badminton to boche.

He'd be my pick.

I've learnt my lesson.no more juniors or apprentices.jade can try out elsewhere.inexperienced premiership coaches need never apply.

Good thought re Gia but reckon he'd need a 3 year apprenticeship.

Then we get Roos to sign up to give Gia the three years he needs. I think as long as Roos can see his end game and a plan in place he would stay an extra year or two

Jade Rawlings my pick

I reckon Roosy will extend himself, the successor will be later.

& Frawls will stay

& we'll trade our 1st pick for another young, who's been in the system for 4 Yrs?

And I get the feeling another name player will come to the Dees at end of season.

Don't forget LBall as an assistant?

I was heckling him during last years game."shut up Gia-getakick Gia and when we won "give it up Gia".

No more wannabes .ever.

Another i am not sure is being considered by most is Daniel Cross, knows his footy inside and out, already essentially a playing assistant.

I know he was a good player, but I still think of Milburn as the guy who ironed out SOS with a very cheap hip and shoulder at Princes Park about 15 yrs ago. Nearly killed him.

On here at the 1min mark.

Mark Thompson's name was thrown up by a caller on SEN the other day.

Will probably be hard to remain at Injectiondon after Tird replaces him at the end of year. Come to Demons, 2 years with Roos and continues the good work

This idea is the worst I've come across.

...

I started listing reasons why, but there's so many and they're all so obvious.

Then list them.

He fits the bill for me though I would prefer Clarkson or Lyon.

agree 100% if we go from Roos to a bad coach all the good work goes out the window, Clarkson is the one i'd chase

I was thinking from the moment they kept him on that Jade was the man they were looking at. I suspect that he'll be under consideration and basically is being assessed during the year as to whether he is the man for the job or not. The fact that they kept him on when they sacked the rest of the coaches is a pretty good endorsement.

Yeah he was a [censored]. I hated him as a player but he was a winner. We need someone who has had a successful career either coaching or playing (and was hard). It seems from the outside like our playing can be a bit choosy about what sort of person they will respond to.

You just need to hear the way the defenders talk about Jade to know that the bloke can coach.

Who knows really? Could be anyone.... Ling would be a seemingly good choice... Tom Harley was a strong figure in turning Geelong into a power house... Brad Miller wasn't the strongest player, but as a coach, he could be made of the right stuff... Cameron Bruce might be a handy coach as well...

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
