Jon Ralph is in Glasgow covering the winter Olympics, so I highly doubt that.

Such a shame they don't have twitter, phone lines or the Internet in Glasgow.

Roos has said he wants someone with the same values, philosophies, similar game style so that the players don't have to change again when someone else comes in.

IMO Bomba and Roos seem very similar types.

Watching them on AFL360 they are like an old married couple. Roos will starting talking about a certain type of play and Bomba will finish it off for him.

It's pure magic to watch.

Sydney win the 2014 Premiership. Longmire succeeds Roos. Again.

that sentence doesn't make sense

longmire can't succeed (replace) roos twice

do you mean he owes his success to roos twice (by inheriting his list/culture)

or do you mean he surpasses roos twice, in which case he would need 3 premierships

or do you mean he would be twice as successful as roos

i'm guessing you mean option three :)

Im not sure why he cant ?

he only could if roos coached the swans for a second stint and was then succeeded (replaced) again by longmire

which of course he hasn't so if longmire wins a premiership this year he won;t have succeeded roos twice

simple really

Yes no phone lines if only they had heard of Alexander Graham Bell

I reckon we get Bomber as an assistant in 2015, Clarkson in 2016 and Ross Lyon in 2017 all as assistants and bring back Mark Neeld as senior coach

coach.

Mate, even that wouldn't help Neeld

I dont see a reference to him succeeding Roos at the Swans twice...just succeeding Roos twice , that can be anywhere

it was a pretty strong inference given it was coupled with longmire winning the 2014 premiership

anyway, if you want to go down that extreme logic path then roos would have to coach another side this year, then be succeeded by longmire, also this year and for that side to win the 2014 premiership.

alternatively longmire would have to succeed roos at melbourne this year and for melbourne to win the 2014 premiership which is currently mathematically impossible unless a number of sides above were to lose premiership points for some indiscretions.

you really do like to draw the long long bow

so, hope that clears up your lingering doubts

I was actually just having a bit of fun DC. The odds of Longmire leaving Sydney after a premiership are huge. Coming to Melbourne also huge. Put them together and it's the longest of long shots. There's been so many suggestions and so many names thrown out there I just thought I'd introduce possibly the last possible candidate.

i was just confused by exactly what you were saying

you're probably right bb

one final anal comment from me

I took "Sydney win the 2014 Premiership. Longmire succeeds Roos. Again."

as meaning "Sydney win the 2014 Premiership. Longmire (as a result) succeeds Roos. Again."

instead of "Sydney win the 2014 Premiership. Longmire (then) succeeds Roos. Again."

i know...i need help

Try enemas online or some such dc.

I'd say all indications point to Roosy being coach for 3 years.

Based on his speak and body language on FC he quite clearly would like his successor in place for the 2014/15 pre-season. Whether that happens or not we will see.

Maybe Roos is waiting to see if PJ signs up for a few more years (technically PJ's term expires in a few months). If PJ doesn't sign up then PR would like to know who the CEO is before he himself signs up for 3rd year.

PJ signing is more urgent right now! Lets hope we hear some PJ re-signing news soon.

Maybe we've got this back-to-front. Perhaps Roos is waiting to see if Frawley re-signs.

One part to all of this that hasn't really been discussed is that if we bring in a senior assistant next year, will this be an additional coach to what we already have?

I would have thought that if we introduce another coach that it's likely that one of the existing coaches makes way, and if that were the case I have to wonder whether that means that George Stone, similarly to Roos, has only committed for a short term and at Roos really needed him for a year or so to get the boys back into shape until a senior assistant could be found, and then step away once this appointment is made. I can't think that any of our other coaches would be all that pleased to be moved on after only a year or so (given their age and that Stone was close to retiring when up at the Swans anyway I thought)

... would be a bit of a shame because I think Stone has been very well accepted by the club, players and supporters and he would definitely be missed.

Stone is in charge of development I believe

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
