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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
