I like the article, but should have been published in the lead up to the Queen's Birthday game.

    I think, that Paul Roos will coach for 5 years minimum.. Once he gets a sniff of success he will not want to leave.. He will want to finish Mission Impossible! Its looking like we may win 7 games this year, with abit of luck more..

    Thoughts? I think he will coach for 5 years minimum!

    Yes....I saw how pumped he was after knocking off Ess when he thumped the desk hard!!! It just reinforces my thoughts moreso that he will be around longer in the coaching role...... even though he has stated 3 years will see him out...

    The way I see it is it keeps the media off his back full well knowing he has stated 3 years only. Less pressure on him & more time to spend on completely overhauling MFC and turning us into a powerhouse.

    And then when the time comes for a contract renewal it will be a 2nd great coup in 3 years for MFC and more positivity to a club due to really shine at that point.

    He is a master of coaching and smoke & mirrors....make no mistake about that.

    Its more of a dream for us Demon fanatics but tell me why it cant happen......What he states & what he does do are completely different things...we have seen this before have we not?

    Said he wasnt interested in the job at MFC....and then......HE TOOK IT!

    We will find out down the track anyhow wont we.

    I live in hope but can't see it happening. He's said 3 years max, we'll hire a successor after this season, so there's no turning back after that.

    I think the length of time is very dependent on their activity with getting/nominating a successor in during the off season. I see him doing the 3 years with a possibility of up to 5 but if they get a successor in place and tell him "you will be senior coach in 201_" and then go back on it I can't see that being great for coaching harmony. Also depends on whether they put a date on it, they could say "we're getting you as our coach in waiting but it will be up to Paul Roos when that happens".

    I would love him to thrust that premiership cup in the air in Dees colours!

    Great supporter confidence booster. I particularly liked this quote - “I’m really enjoying it and I probably have more of an attachment to the club than I felt I would have, which is good.”

    I think he'll stay about 5 years and then move back into an Academy type role. Would love him for the next ten years though!

    Staying on and getting us into a granny within 5 years would be just about the best footy story of all time.

    ................ and winning that granny would be the best! (for all of us, at least).

    ps. Port may have a reasonable case to mount over the next year or two

    If Roosy stays and wins a flag for the Dees he will be Deemed to be the best coach in the AFL, ever.

    As it is he has performed a minor miracle in getting us competitive and playing to some sort of a plan, as well as resurrecting the careers of several players previously thought of as duds.

    He's actually made it a pleasure to go to the football again and I thank him sincerely for that.

    Let's just wait to see who his successor is.

    That will determine how long he will be coach.

    I'm sure he will be coach as long as it takes to get his understudy up to speed.

    I can't see him walking away without leaving the club in good hands.

    3 years max, maybe a 4th but only if the right successor is a fit.

    I see Dew reckons he is now ready to have a crack at the main job (and nearly signed up for MFC). link

    !00% agree RF.

    For Roos to take us from basket case to premiership(s) (in addition to his Sydney achievements) would make him the greatest coach of all time. (hopefully an incentive for him too)

    I love his coaching (always loathed Neelds). Sceptical of succession plan because usually when someone's made coach, THEY want and need to be coach, not second guessing what their great predesessor would do (did you see Bomber T's response when it was suggested he be the successor?). I think we're miles better off with Roos himself directly making those correct decisions and influencing players the way he does so well, for hopefully many years.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
