Roos 3 years

Featured Replies

 

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!

he seems pretty happy in all the interveiws i have seen and stuff, certainly doesn't seem like a bloke about to go anywhere

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
