Selection of Paul Roos successor

Featured Replies

Kevin sheedy says hi. Being a strange unit didn't do him any harm. If it is kirk and we get some sheedy sort of success I'll be stoked

 

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


2 years under Paul Roos would be Ideal for Ling or Voss and hopefully Paul Roos influence will still be around the club in a new job 2017

Voss no

Have you noticed that umpires love pinging the kids for holding the ball no attempt

what does this have to do with Roos' successor?
 

Deeflog*. Not much at all*. But I'd hope we can get someone like Brad Scott*. Happy?

someone like brad Scott is the last type of coach I want

Deeflog* a coach that has a winning vision and backs the 21st player up is not who you want? Cool*

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 ?


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

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.

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

Have a listen to this guy talk on Open Mike and then come back and tell me that he wouldn't make a good AFL coach.

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.

  • 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.
