ROOS "Ask me in 2 years down the track"...Freudian Slip?

The Song Formerly Known As
in Melbourne Demons

Read into it what you will, but anyone else notice Roosy when speaking about whether we focus on opposition teams he said, "ask me 2 years down the track and i may say yeah, but then we'd be 5 years away from Sydney."

Most likely just meaning this year and next year, but hopefully it was perhaps a Freudian Slip and he will be staying longer than the two.

Yes, i realise i may be looking too deeply, i just love the guy and want him to be with us forever.

    If it makes you feel better, in a conversation I had with PJ he said, "don't panic Paul isn't going anywhere". That was in response to my question of whether he would be with us for at least 3 years.

    Hes contracted for 2 years

    Confusing thread

    it was a tongue in cheek hopeful post, implying that "2 years" meant from today's date which would be into season 2016, meaning he is with us more than the 2 year contract.

    Threads not confusing at all for those with hope in their hearts and frowns not upon their faces.

    Everyone in football knows, Roos most of all, that nobody could turn around this club in a 2 year window. It'll take the best part of this season to get even close to where we were pre-Neeld. There'll be plenty more "games that got away" like GC before this season's over.

    Nailed it, the "next coach" is huge.

    Its also been floated that he may stay on in a footy operations type role after he hands over the coaching role.

    But I think he just meant 'ask me/theclub/whoever is in charge' in 2 years time, as that's when he'd hope this side is able to start focusing on the opposition more so than ourselves.

    I would have thought the two go hand in hand. Identifying strengths and weaknesses of you and your opponent.

    I love the fact that we have a premiership coach in Roos and he is still seeking advice from Bomber about what he did at the cats and wants to talk to Clarko about what he did at the hawks.

    It's a far cry from our previous coach that's for sure.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
