Paul Roos to take back seat

[rjay 24,689]

He has said somewhere along the line that he would like to stay involved in the club but at a reduced level.

He wants to be able to travel during summer etc...

No, he said recently (I think on 360) that his involvement at the club finishes once his coaching stint is over.

I believe he's going to be a regular contributor to Demonland whilst based in Hawaii.

maybe then he could become stuie's mentor?

[Roger Mellie 3,903]

The "time will tell" line is a cop out here,

LOL, what else is there to do? Ring up Roosy? Ring up Goodwin?

Knock yourself out

There's nothing we can do until Roosy calls it or he doesn't - If he doesn't you can pay out on Party Boy some more and gee, that'll show us.

Or Party Boy will be right and that will be that.

[Moonshadow 17,602]

Maybe Roos wants a crack at the Blues job. As if coaching Melbourne wasn't enough of a blow to his legacy.

[beelzebub 23,254]

For chook read goose.

a flippant retort of minimal substance.

I agree that we may be better off with Roos taking a holistic role...or rather continuing it and leave game day to someone who can do it better.

Those who can't see this are blinded by man crushes.

[Biffen 12,937]

Tanya Hird took a back seat.

Or maybe that was a bike seat.

I can never remember.

OP was asked "is this opinion or fact?", and the response was "time will tell"....

You don't think that's a cop out? Either say something or don't say something, don't come out with a big call and then back it up with "wellllll maybe it will happen maybe it won't"...

Weak.

Hey, party boys! Get a room.

[beelzebub 23,254]

Laughingly as pointed out by others Roos had/has always flagged leaving the day role to his appointed in 2016. It's not news however.

It is when you suffer from severe brain damage and you cannot retain information.

Which counts in most of us.

Anyway,

Great News.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

If the passion/commitment isn't there, then so be it. He seems like a family man who's after a more relaxed life. He had to be bent over sideways with a green hand to even take the job. Having Roos in any capacity/at all can only help us.

I feel like I don't know much about Goodwin or how much he's contributed to the game plan so I just hope he doesn't get indigestion when served a bigger piece of the pie.

[Gator 17,261]

I reckon it's pretty obvious that the OP gets good mail, but, upon deeper thought, I reckon accurately deciphering the information and presenting it in a clear format may be more challenging. Chinese whispers and all...

Dylan Shiel to Hawthorn.

YeahNah.

You're way off the mark if you think that 'bb'.

He may not have the cattle to get the result at times but the way he sets up against oppo teams is exceptional. We got the result against Geelong because we took away their game, we almost did the same against the Pies but Cloke kicked 7 straight.

Forget Oxley, he was a side issue. Frost had the better of Hogan, Cloke kicked 7 but they had to change the way they like to play to beat us. If our players had of played to instruction and hit the contest hard and used the ball better going forward then it would have been closer and maybe a win.

The Saints game wasn't a tactical defeat, it was a stuff up.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

Dylan Shiel to Hawthorn.

YeahNah.

No thanks. That'd be a headache for commentators

[beelzebub 23,254]

Ray...been watching keenly for the past year and half of Roos tenure. Great at the overalls but gets caught often at the game. Yes it's cattle but more the how and when you use them and where, he had automons at Sydney..they'd coach themselves on game day, ours can't (yet)

It may well be part of the grand plan to 'enable' our list but it seems to me you have to manage the game when you have to.

We can differ ..not a problem

[Gator 17,261]

Dylan Shiel to Hawthorn.

YeahNah.

So he's a liar, Stu.

Phew, I owe you one.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Not a liar, his sources just aren't that accurate.

[Ted Lasso 18,914]

This is not part of the plan, goody is going to slowly do more over the course of the year but paul roos is our coach in 2016.

This plan has been in place since roosy signed and has not changed.

[Moonshadow 17,602]

Goodwin will be head coach in 2016.

Roos to take on a mentor role for players and coach before his 3 year tenure finishes.

Could very well be stating the obvious partyboy. Goodwin will be coach in 2016.... September 2016, by which point Roos will take a back seat and finish his contract in transitionary mentor mode. Seems fairly obvious from the point Goodwin was appointed.

This.

I think people need to stop believing the conspiracy theories and just take Roos on face value. He will do out as plan to coach right up till the end off 2016 and gracefully hand the job over to Goodwin.

He is training and mentoring Goodwin like an apprentice. Next year yes he will give him more responsibility but Roos is smart enough to know he still needs to do alot of off field stuff as well Membership promotion, sponsers meeting etc.. Paul Roos will not back down from his plan and rush Goodwin in. There is no need to. This was the plan right from the day Roosy signed on the dotted line and he will continue to do what he has promised. We have all seen he is true to his word.

As moon mentioned cheers for stating the obvious. Nothing new here.

[What 18,810]

I still dont get how Roos can cut ties completely at the end of 2016. He would have done so much work to fix the club, the culture, and watched all these players grow under his watch and surely would want to be involved in some capacity, even from a distance.

Sounds like that wont be the case though.

[Adam The God 29,682]

The answer is no....

He's already said he walks away at the end of 2016 and that's the end of it.

If he's still around the club afterwards, it kind of makes Goodwin's job pretty tough. Every time there's a loss, people'd be saying get Roos. If PR moves on, I'm not sure that's then an option. For me, it's absolutely vital that we retain Peter Jackson beyond 2017. We need that off field stability and sound, unbiased, professional decision making.

Speaking of posters with good mail. SPR is the guy you should be listening to. PartyBoy came in and mentioned Goodwin coming to the MFC, but he wasn't the first one on Demonland to do so. I'll leave it there.
