Good get

Head of the Melbourne Football Club Academy? ;)

Oh wouldn't he love that; wouldn't we all !!!!!!

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.


Hardtack Macca WAS at Tigerland in 98-99 ...just saying :unsure:

LOL

The news got announced literally 2 minutes after i made that post

all hail Kurt!

Is that an apology, humble pie or both?

Head of the Melbourne Football Club Academy? ;)

He will simply be know as "oracle"

 

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.

I owe Kurt a beer. Well done

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

You are a 'hater'...

And I trust Paul Roos' judgement more than yours.

Sue me.

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.

Have to pinch ourselves eh !! :huh: This is Melbourne ???? :o

Go Dees :roos:

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 ;)

Damian Barrett and Jay Clark say thanks.

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