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

Sometimes it is good to be wrong.

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.

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?

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.

Was a no brainer on that sort of coin.

Properties in Hawaii aren't cheap.

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.

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

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...

Posted

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.

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)

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'.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
