Roos 3 years

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.

Mate, I am nearly through a bottle of red. Something you should know about.

I think this qualifies as oversharing, DD36.

Nah it's fair enough. I'd boof him.


Thats great, what station was that on

Will check their website to see if they uploaded the interview

It was re-played on SEN, it wasn't a live interview so not sure where it originated from.

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

The background music of that interview it did make me think he was the saviour.

I'm not of the opinion we seriously looked for a successor we spoke to dew got knocked back and by the sounds of things that's about it

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.

Very ambient. A bit annoying actually

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...

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.

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.

Very Seinfeldian :-)

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
