Maybe give him the role of Director of Development. Allison is currently 'Head of Development', similar to a 'Head Coach', why can't we have a 'Director of Development' like 'Director of Coaching'?

Sure it might be going a little over the top, but to keep Paul Roos involved in the football department after he relinquishes the coaching position, i would deem it perfectly justifiable.

You still have said how many games you have watched McCartin play.

You can have a go at McCartin but I can't have a go at McCartney pot\kettle I say.

Have a go if you use sensible facts and not half baked assertions. According to you McCartney was employed at Richmond Football Club - wrong. According to you, he failed in his tasks at the Essendon Football Club - he was only there for one season (2011) before he was offered the head coach position at the Doggies; so, have to give that assertion a fail as well. And almost without exception, all of the media pundits are of the opinion that he was very successful at both the Dogs and the Cats and there was genuine disbelief over the fact he had been moved on. So basically, on all counts you have failed.

I'll be laughing at the haters that doubt me not the club.

You don't have a brother in St. Kilda who apparently owns a roofing company (or whatever Tonatopia claimed to own)?

Another one that doesn't do his research. The Richmond thing has already done.

No one in their right mind would say he was successful at the Bulldogs because it's just not true.

I will take into account that you are a Sydney theatre goer.

It does throw in to light what Roos will be doing following his handover to Goodwin. Roos himself has said that he's already had talks with the club about a position that would see him remain at the club in some capacity.

I guess we have two years of not really having to worry about it and by then it probably won't matter too much anyway if the process of succession Roos and Jackson have put in place actually works.

Well done kurt!

Put his balls on the line and cut straight to the chase. None of this pathetic riddles [censored] or anything like that.

I also believe this is the second rumour you have got right before Kurt??

Again congrats. You have definitely won alot of admirers and respect here already on Deeland.

Ok, I stand corrected on the Richmond gig (but being a decade and a half ago, that is a very long bow indeed). Oh, and 20 wins over his first three seasons as a head coach is hardly a fail.

As for the Sydney theatre comment... not quite sure what that is supposed to mean. Being an ex Melbourne person who was born in Ringwood, grew up in Croydon and later lived in St Kilda, South Caulfied and Glen Iris and spent a lot of time in Altona (due to being in a band based there), I am hardly the regular theatre going type (although I do occasionally attend as it can be a good night out - unless you have a poor self image of course) - besides which, I believe Melbourne is far more renowned for its high quality theatrical venues,

Anyway, best you develop a taste for humble pie, as I'm sure you are going to be eating a lot of it in years to come.

Thanks BB... but as I said in my response to Where-a-Dee, it is drawing a long bow to raise an assistant development coach position at a club one and a half decades ago.

Thanks Dazzle, just one rumour from me i think. Now will try for info on picks 2 and 3, aim high and fail is better than doing nothing!

Will more than likely fail though and you'll may never here any news again from me. But if I ever say trust me, then I've got something or I just want to get banned for the hell of it ;)

One did ask me actually... :) I'd rather not say as he was kinda nice.

Must have been Clark then, he seems "nice".

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
