Upward Trajectory

Been looking at Roosy's coaching record and the from when he took over at the Swans to when he left them, and I can see the dees going on the exact same trajectory as the path the Swans took. Roos took on a battling list, re-shaped the culture and philosophy of the club, drafted hard tough smart midfielders, with a prolonged forward line to suit his gameplan, and a defense very hard to score against.

Year by Year Coaching Record Year Team Games Coached Wins Losses Draws Win % 2002 Sydney Swans 10 6 4 0 60.0% 2003 Sydney Swans 24 15 9 0 62.5% 2004 Sydney Swans 24 14 10 0 58.3% 2005 Sydney Swans 26 18 8 0 69.2% 2006 Sydney Swans 25 16 9 0 64.0% 2007 Sydney Swans 23 12 10 1 52.2% 2008 Sydney Swans 24 13 10 1 54.2% 2009 Sydney Swans 22 8 14 0 36.4% 2010 Sydney Swans 24 14 10 0 58.3% 2014 Melbourne Demons 9 3 6 0 33.3%

So from 2002 onwards his win percentage was always over the 50 percent mark up until 2009 when alot of their senior blokes retired, and the club did incredibly well to rebuild from that 2009 year.

Roosy simply has to stay on for the whole tenure until a flag is reached. His a class act.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
