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

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
