Paul Roos signs for third year

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I don't think he will sign on for a third year.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

was never in doubt.

Sometimes it is good to be wrong.

thanks c&b, i do try

[DeeSpencer 25,713]

Good news.

Typical MFCSS about the successor and it all being a balls up but Roos is locked in for 2 years. That's sorted now. No more, no less.

There aren't going to be any jobs at top 5 ladder clubs any time soon. There might not be jobs at Ess, Adel, Coll, West Coast or any other financial power house.

If you were an aspiring senior coach you could hold out in hope that Gold Coast or GWS get cold feet and pick you to take over the list at the perfect time. But I'd be keen to work with Roos as his 2IC and then take over a rebuilt club.

and I'm still confident that Scully Frawley will stay.

[ManDee 7,149]

and I'm still confident that Scully will stay.

Haven't heard about him all year, who would want him, not even amongst the best at Casey, we pick all the duds.....wait a minute, didn't he retire or something?

PS. Just checked his stats this year, similar to Rohan Bail's dodged another bullet there.

PPS : amongst not in spell checker?

[Pates 9,660]

Was never really expecting anything different, when we didn't secure the successor for this year I always felt that Roos would want minimum 2 years with him. Now that that is sorted the hunt for the next in line for the throne really heats up.

[McQueen 17,864]

Was a no brainer on that sort of coin.

Properties in Hawaii aren't cheap.

[old dee 23,791]

So now Frawley will sign right!

[Ned 156]

I love Roos, very glad. Send Chip to Casey for the rest of the season. We only want hearts that beat true.

Not for me I want wins and there is no one at Casey as good as Frawley.

That thinking does not work in the era of FA.

ho hum.........as if it wasn't to be......really

never in doubt was it DC ...seems many dont quite understand Roos speak

[beelzebub 23,376]

Roos for a 3rd year... ...... .... didnt see that coming !!

[PaulRB 6,363]

Maybe next year we can talk about Paul staying on as head coach for years 4,5 and 6?

I mean he's young, we'll be on the rise...

[P-man 13,366]

Is anyone really shocked? I mean great news and all but this was a done deal a while back.

I don't think it's impossible that he will stay longer. It's unlikely given how adamant he is about the 3 years, but circumstances can change.

[chook fowler 19,459]

I don't think anybody is surprised but nonetheless it's nice to know its a done deal.

[whatwhat say what 22,761]

First 2016...then 2018....2020.......

[Little Goffy 14,547]

you can certainly do worse than fill the MFC with Cats and Swans personnel from the last decade

Oh, let's go for the full sweep.

A Cat (Thompson &/or Ling)

A Swan (Roos)

A Hawk (Ratten)

And a Magpie (erm... hmmm... let's not, we tried that already)

bomber thompson still undecided on what he is doing next year as stated on 360...just saying...

[mdemon 266]

Watching AFL360 tonight, it was illuminating to see the way Roos jumped in to save Bomber before he went too far when responding to probing from Mark Robinson about the 'Saint James' situation. Bomber was clearly starting to get a bit uncomfortable & agitated but Roos gave him an escape route. Those posters who have commented upon the obvious 'symmetry' between Roos and Thomson May well be 'on the money'.
