Selection of Paul Roos successor


All the Jacks

Recommended Posts

no, i ran in to him once and had a little chat. Let's just say, the conversation i had and the tv intro he gave are consistent with one another. He just goes about explaining things a little differently.

Eg. when going from A to B, one would think to take the most direct route, whereas Kirk went to C & D before finding his way to B.

Sounds like Dermott Brereton

Hoping its Kirk, wasnt the most talented player but had the keep hard at it leadership on the field and lead the way in that bloods culture under Roos. 2 years coaching Freos midfield in their dominance plus hopefully another 2 or 3 under Roos (if he is the successor) should make his transition in to senior coaching a little easier than some others.

Surprising then that he was a grand finalist midfield coach.

Even more surprising that Ross Lyon would employ someone like that. Doesn't strike me as the type that suffers fools too well.

I've met Brett at albury sports club and had a drink with him and he speaks fine, he's a little different but knows the game inside out and knows the direction roosy is taking us inside out

Petrie is still one of the best forwards in the league on his day and Macca not having a good game a couple of weeks ago was a learning experience not a big deal. Welcome Macca back in!!

This is the Roos successor thread - are you lost ?

Ps deeflog* a coach that knows how to win

Chris Scott god no! Throws his arms up in the coaches box at every umpire decision. He is far from a coach that knows how to win. What happend last week?

[censored] of the highest order. He isn't a good coach thats for sure. Its record speak for itself.

Mono brow and moonsht, just making some well educated comments. Would love to have someone give a decent replacement for roos but it's hard, so started making some observations

Indeed, they were very well educated comments. Some of your finest. Nice.

Kirk wants to get the best out of himself regardless of talent just more so desire, which I'm sure would make him a good coach even though he think a little different, players like Pedersen Bail etc would thrive under him and a couple of more seasons under Roosy would both him and the club in good stead!

Having re-watched Open Mike from 2009, it just reinforced in my mind how good a coach Brett Kirk would be if he decided to coach Melbourne. A year or two as Roosy's understudy, and the transition from Roos to Kirk would be seamless. That's what we want!

On the same page as Roos it's seems, there has been a rumour flying around ( take it as a grain of salt) Jude Bolton could also be a target!

That rumour is carp though.

Bolton is an accredited player manager and has a career in the media that is growing.

He has no interest in coaching.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
