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.

he said ask me in 2 years

Hes contracted for 2 years

Confusing thread

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.

We are all crossing our fingers Roosy stays long term , for sure

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.

We get the point Lamashtu (insert joking emoticon here)

He meant this season and next season. Thats 2 years.

Nailed it, the "next coach" is huge.

What's 'Freudian' about it?

Roosy's psychoanalytical approach to coaching.

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.
