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

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.

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.

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.

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...

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
