OK, OK, on reflection I got a little carried away on "people getting stuck into me". I really could not care if people did. Anyway, I will blame it on the red wine making me want to unnecessarily big note myself.

My apologies.

Posts like these are a rarity on here. Kudos GNF. Keep up the good work with your insider reports.

Well, let's hope his Hogan mail is the 1 out of 10 he gets wrong ;-)

Gawn?

I must have missed that one. I haven't read the Jessie thread for a while

He is yet to play a game.

For the record:

The concerns are that Hogan will not play this year but his injury is NOT career threatening. As for the "he is likely to return to WA", this is just me reading between the lines. I have no insight on this and thought I made this clear.

Only the true seer denies their insight and vision. He is a seer, he is a seer! Hogan is gone!

Kind of and kind of not. You said

"MFCs main concern is keeping Hogan beyond the end of next season. Footy department doing everything they can, however, my reading of it is that footy department think he is more likely to leave than stay. My view is our only hope is if this group can quickly improve on-field....... make the future look exciting."

So you had put it out there that the MFC was concerned about keeping him beyond 2015... maybe just a matter of semantics, but that does read like the MFC is worried and hence your own opinion coming on the back of that.

Anyway, doesn't matter... we will find out all in good time.

My thoughts are very similar to yours but after all the turbulence Scully caused here I'll stay out of this for at least this season. We are progressing well without a player yet to play a game. If he goes we are in a position to get a good deal. Back to the topic, Roos extension of tenure is still too far away a prospect to get prematurely over heated with but I'm salivating at the thought where we might be the end of this season and next season under his leadership with or without certain high profile doubtful's. Have not been so optimistic with our prospects for over a decade. Edited by america de cali

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

He has said he wants to stick around after he hands over the reigns.. This is great news!! He'll still be around the club and the players, making sure they are still traveling well.... This is better than him just handing over the coaching role and then leaving... For me it means he can still mentor the players, give match day speeches and make sure they are still up and about... Who knows it might be even better? Means he has more time to get into the players heads, and really push them to achieve....

I don't reckon he'll stop coaching the team until he claims THE prize.

Strikes me as the kind of person who hates leaving things unfinished......

That would be good on two fronts;

1. We keep Roos for longer

2. We win "THE PRIZE"

I'm happy with that.

Just on Roos im at the TAC between sandy and the Bushies game and im literally sitting 2 meters away from the great man and his beautiful wife tammi. Talk about having an auroa about him!

Not bad they have him playing on ball. Its 1st qtr so far and Sandy are getting done. Roosy pretty frustrated in skills errors so you could imagine him in the coaches box lol.

Tammi gets right into the footy she loves it! Yelling at umpires etc lol

Confirmed on 360 last night that the headline was out of context, as I pointed out on page 1.

Written apologies will be fine, thanks guys...

So has Roos signed for the third year or not? If yes, then yay! If no, then we should probably retitle the thread.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
