being reported very differently.

the age - roos refuses to commit to dees long-term

afl - roos rules out long term stay at the demons

herald-sun - roos to coach for three, stay for longer

i'm paraphrasing, but that's the general vibe...

I think it's just demon supporters glass half fulling the situation a little bit, having Roosy for three years is massive and his influence after that will be nearly as big, so i'm not at all concerned, if he gets the successor right there is no reason he can't be just as good.

He's hosing down expectations, but if we're within reach of a premiership at the end of 2016 I think he'll find it hard to resist having a go.

If Roosy stays on in some other capacity after the 3 years, then it makes me believe the likes on George Stone will stay on as well. He shouldn't be forgotten as an integral part of the coaching group.

Im confused, he said he isnt sure if he will take up the third year but then he says three years will be enough

there is no actual announcement of this though is there.. so no confirmation.. just a mid season IV on the website.

Written from Matt Burgan from the inner sanctum of the club.

If you also listen to the newly uploaded Roos interview (with Burgan) you will hear him mention a three year tenure.

I think it's as safe as houses.

EDIT: It also ties in very nicely with "Grand New Flag's" recent intel (cheers mate)

Fantastic news.

3 years under Roosy is already exciting me

given we are an 8-goal better side with his first half of a season!

so this hasnt been confirmed at all

Roos did his best to kill this line of questioning at the post match interview last week. I tend to think he wont commit until he is sure he has long term buy in from the players and that we are a realistic top 4 prospect come third year. Does not look like the type to hang around just for the money. He wants premierships. He must be very encouraged by the amount of progress his team has made so far though.

Bit early for my birthday....but i'll take it.....

Thanks Mr Roos

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 love you. Definitely one of my favourite posters. : D

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 agree similarly the Tyson/Kelly comparisons - he successfully nipped it in the bud by saying we wouldn't have taken Kelly with pick 2 anyway; now the morons like Barett, Hutchy etc have no ammo to fuel their stories. Barrett tried to keep the story alive in that interview "just out of interest Roosy, who would you have taken?" But Roosy just shot him down refusing to give him an answer.

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.

yeh i guess its alright… lol i was stoked!

so this hasnt been confirmed at all

Just heard Roo's himself on the radio state 3 years as coach then stay at the club in "some capacity," obviously stating not a coaching role

I can live with three Redleg After the last six three seems like an eternity.

By the end of 2016 will be established with a good list and looking to push higher into the top eight.

He's hosing down expectations, but if we're within reach of a premiership at the end of 2016 I think he'll find it hard to resist having a go.

Now which drug will i take?

Why discriminate?

There is hardly any chance of you turning into a degenerate .

The job is complete.

I think we should bend over backwards to please him!

Now which drug will i take?

A downer Bbo there is way too much positive talk around here

Fittingly, there's a red pill and a blue pill..

See Biff, chook he has some ...err .. "friends" who do that sort of thing

Indeed, I've just about drowned my optimistic half.

This is how I look at it. By the end of 2016 there is every chance we'll be giving things a real crack. Will he just hand over at that point? It would seem unlikely, to me.
