Roos 3 years


Dee Fan

Recommended Posts

I mentioned this was what was happening on the Hogan thread last week and a couple of people on hear got stuck into me for making up rumours?!!??!?! Those people should apologise.

I will say one more thing. Don't be surprised if Roos remains as coach beyond this contract........

Your first encounter on this board with myself was tense. However, I have come to trust what you say.

When you initially criticized Neeld, you turned out to be 100% on the money (it was clear you knew something we didn't).

When you said Roos was a cert last year, that turned out to be true as well.

After that, I let our initial spat behind. Good work my man.

Take more care with the editing Col!!

The moment we didn't manage to get the successor in place for this year I was confident that we would have Roos for the full 3 years. I think it's fantastic that he has also said that he will stay with the club in some capacity afterwards, he may have started as a Lion, and made a name for himself as a Swans coach, but he's going to leave his mark at the Dees.

same occurred to me.

either ...someone put hand up and succession plan A was put into action

or

No takers, or no one seeming up to it .... then it surely had to be Roos for 3

just seemed logical

Who got stuck into you in that Hogan thread? I just took a look and the only response I saw to your comment was to query with the logic of Roos taking a Director of Football position after a $1.6m per year contract...It's Time I think it was, said: "Not sure the logic behind Director of Football when he's reportedly earning $1.6mill"

I certainly did not see any comments that were abusive or spiteful in any sense of the word... certainly nothing deserving of an apology.

I don't think roo's can commit any longer due to scaring off any potential Sucsessor. If He commits longer a potential coach may think is he willing to hand the team over in 2 years time or will he take on an extra year. I think Roos will stay on until he finds the right man for the job to take over from after a 2 year apprenticeship under him

Just read it.

This is simply the best news I've read since he signed with the club in the first place.

Only swear words can truly express my excitement.

#8%%@&! stoked.

And even better than that, I am sure that it will ensure that Chip will stay!

I also posted that the day after our AGM, after PJ told me that he was confident that 3 would be the minimum. I am not as confident about him going longer though, unless the replacement can't be locked in. He seems prepared to take on another role after 3 years, probably as the Coach's mentor.

As with all Demonlanders I would love to see him change his mind and commit to say 5 years, it would do wonders for our stability.

I'd hope it was 4 or 6 years redleg, I couldn't go through another 5 year rebuild.

May we all prostrate ourselves at your feet, I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed, I would say if there is a sniff of a flag after 3 years he won't be going anywhere

I am usually the rumour hater, don't remember berating you

I am joining the chorus on this - no-one attacked you.

There is little need for 4 question marks and 4 exclamation marks interspersed in such a manner...

Interesting that this still hasn't been officially announced or confirmed by the club

Does he really need to exercise the option for 2016 now?

The article on the website was all about allaying fears that some had that he would up and leave after 2015 or 2016 and that never was his intention. If we continued with our off-field, er, limitations, then he isn't wedded to anything but he will be around the club for many years - just the head coaching grind is not what he wants for much longer.

That's what that article on the website was trying to tell us.

    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,
