Ratten got a lot out of our ordinary midfield and much more out of an ordinary Carlton. He is a much better coach than most give him credit for.

Because putting a number like that on it, doesn't matter how much the club denies it, it'll be quoted and taken as gospel by the footy media in general. And it'll give Barrett so much scope to throw

Too ugly to coach. That is definitely a new one.

Think i said in another thread that I hope part of Crossys agreement with the MFC was he moves into our coaching staff upon retirement

Either way, definitely someone we should hold on to as we establish our new culture. I think he feels indebted to us for taking him in when most other clubs passed. Boy it couldn't be further from the truth.. he's fast becoming my favorite player.

Kirk is said to be doing well in his role as an assistant at Fremantle under Roosy's mate Rossy Lyon. The connections are all there.

I liked the way Kirk played the game - he was a clever footballer and off the field he comes across as clever, articulate and intelligent which means that he has some of the ingredients to do well as a modern day coach.

His immaculate Brighton Grammar hair may also get the attention of certain players when he is talking to them

I'm sure there was an interview with either Roos or Cross where they spoke about moving him into coaching or player development once he decides to call it a day.

I know the family.

According to Cross, Roos said he wanted to give him a 2 year contract, but the board wouldn't sign off on it, presumably gunshy after contracts like those given to Byrnes and Pedersen, etc.

So Cross is on a 1 year contract for now.

It's likely he'll get a new one, and likely he could become an assistant, or more likely a member of the fitness or "high performance" staff, following his playing days, but none of it is set in stone yet.

Thanks for the info, Machsy. He's been a tremendous import - his commitment to the Dees, after a career as a Bulldog, is incredible.

Great to hear. Roos just has an immaculate eye for talent. Cross should easily be able to go until the end of next year and Roos saw that. Can't blame the board though, given some of the ludicrous contracts we've signed over the years that proved duds.

Sincerely hope the guy is in for a nice pay rise next season because he plays with more conviction than 90℅ of the players on our list.

It is obvious that Kirk will be the successor. For the record, I picked Kirk as the man as soon as Roos was elected.

However, I am starting to think our rise will happen rather quickly, and as soon as Roos gets a sniff of a finals campaign, he will find it hard to pass the team over to Kirk.

Claiming you were right already. That is a BS.

For the record, I don't believe it until I see it.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
