Roos 3 years

Featured Replies

 

Would still prefer Roosy to continue as coach, but I'll settle for this excellent news to start with.

Great news confirmed on MFC site..

Excellent Robbie, been anticipating this news for some time.

The announcement can only further stabilise our club.

 

Chip must honor his word and sign on now.

The clouds are finally parting and sunshine is on the horizon.

Didn't Frawley make a remark along the lines of "if Roos signs and extension, then I will".

I know Roos hasn't formally signed yet but seems a formality.

Time to step up Mr Frawley.


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........

I suppose gnf the longer we don't have a successor the better?

This is Fantastic.

Goodonya Roosy

From here, what I'd like to see, IF Roosy doesn't extend beyond 2016, is for him to become a Board member for a further 3 years representing the football side of board decisions.

And also I'd like him to have a full-time paid role at the club with player development, & areas around supporter relations & future direction.

I always had the feeling that the whole 2-3 year thing was/is just leaving a back door unlocked - just in case Roos was to put 2-3 years in and we were still a complete basket case.. if at the end of 2016 we are, say,sniffing around the top 4 I feel like he will just stay on for as long as he needs to 'complete his mission'

Settle down guys, nothing has happened. Article is a bit mis-leading.

The article is not misleading, for once everybody is quoting words that came out of Roos' mouth directly

Love your work GNF. You have always been on the money.

Keep posting.

The headline is very misleading. It suggests he's confirming he will be senior coach for three years, not two...

Where did he say he's staying for 3 years? Nowhere. Nothing has changed since two days ago...

"“We’re still wedded to that, [but] whether that’s after two years or whether that’s after three years "

If anything, I'm dissapointed as he mentions three years will definitely be the longest he stays as senior coach.

LOL how about taking a leaf out of your own book and look at what has actually been said

“That’s certainly something I haven’t discussed,” he said when asked if there was a chance he would coach in 2017 and/or beyond at Melbourne.

according to you that is 'definitely' a max. of 3 years

I did look at what has actually been said: “In terms of the pure coaching and the senior coaching, the three years will see me out.”

LOL

it also keeps the players & everyone else, board, admin, etc, on their toes, to keep up their end of the bargain, to extract the digit & to take ownership of their failings & work hard to improve themselves & the club generally.

what the club doesn't want him, or can't afford him?

ah......

All this back slapping!

I for one would like to thank the AFL for getting us Peter Jackson and by extension Paul Roos.

The AFL are much maligned and they often deserve it, but they have done our club an enormous favour.

Thank you AFL.

I think GNF's post will do me.

He has a very good track record.

That'll do me too.

But Roos hasn't confirmed he's staying for the 3 years, that is a fact that should be represented on the thread.

AJ out.

well they should, as they kicked Us for doing the same as others were doing. & they have had a big part via their short sighted thinking over the decades, & causing an in-balanced 2 tiered competition.

you can't do that, & then kick those who are already down, as they try to get up.

I reckon Frawley may have meant if Roos extends past optional 3rd year, than he'd sign

Did they kick us? Really?

The fine was absorbed part of our larger donation to get rid of unwanted staff and bring new expertise in, no draft penalties, none of our current coaches suspended, and Schwab and Connolly forced out.

Doesn't seem like much 'hurt' to me!

I am ecstatic if this plays out as expected from this point on.

We can but hope.

 

Roos knows about the value of stability and how to get the press off his back. They have been hounding him on this story and so he has come out with a statement that will essentially end the speculation.

I'm not really one for posting links but in terms of happy about this news, cue to 1:53 secs of 'smash them like guitars' i'd even try and make a gif out of it if i wasn't on a ipad.

The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
