Paul Roos to take back seat

Form as in saying that "Dylan Shiel will be at Hawthorn next year", not long before he signed an extension with GWS?

Yeahhhhhh.... not convinced yet.

His Goodwin form was pretty solid last year, so that tells me there's some kind of link with Goodwin but not so much with Shiel

We can always see how it plays out eh

So this guy was the only one saying Goodwin was going to be in that job? Short memories if that's what people think.

For me it's clear this poster receives information. Naturally, that doesn't mean everything comes to fruition.

But he's more likely to be right when it's an in-house Demon topic than a player trade.

Rubbish. Why is it clear? Because he got one thing right, that 1,000s of people thought would happen? Do you know his sources? Know him personally?

The "time will tell" line is a cop out here, and the Shiel "intel" doesn't give him any more cred.

Anyone can be right 5 days after the club puts the story on the website!!

Maybe 'partyboy' has been on vacation, heard the news and thought it was a scoop.

The transition will probably be:

- Goodwin to do less player development and take more training/coaching sessions this year.

- Goodwin to play a big role in the 2015a trade/draft process

- Goodwin takes a chunk of the pre-season coaching work.

- Goodwin to probably coach the NAB games in his own right, without Roos in the box (or even at the game).

- Roos starts coaching from the boundary for part/all of some games towards the middle of 2016 (depending on our wins/losses)

- Goodwin does more work with the board, sponsors and the press in 2016.

- In Sept 2016 Roos walks away.

Roos has made it clear he will not be at the Demons when his contract expires.

He will make damn sure he leaves the players, the list and the coaches in the best possible situation he can.

He will have done the job he was recruited for.

No crystal ball, grapevine contacts are needed when posters read our website regularly.

But PartyBoy is saying that Goodwin will be the head (senior) coach next year.

I don't think anyone cares whether you believe him or not, Stu.

Goodwin will be head coach in 2016.

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

But PartyBoy is saying that Roos will be the head (senior) coach next year.

They care about as much as whether you do "ProDee".

Who has said otherwise ?

I get you're an emotional guy, Stu.

Deep down you have a heart of gold and often get misunderstood. I'm on your side though,

Humour isn't your strong point "ProDee", maybe stick to talking about footy.... Oh wait...

You get wound up so easily, Stuie.

Why not remain impartial or easy going before real evidence?

I'm confident Party Boy has got it right again.

If this is true it sucks

It's already a load of carp that he's limited himself to 3 years

If Goodwin is just another schmuck like Bailey and Neeld we are back to zero again

Bloody hell we have one good win and the rebuild is complete eh Roosy

i was always secretly hoping by about now Roosy would be seeing the fruits of what he has created and in a control freak like manner decide he is staying put for the premiership. Its not Roosy's style though and i think Goodwin will be fine. Still as soon as he loses a game watch the pitchforks come out and the bring back Roos stuff to start.

Wouldn't mind Goodwin in the chair for the Bombers game.

Hope that Roos isn't leaving earlier though, than we would have presumed, for some other bloody basket case...

In all fairness, for what contracts are worth nowadays Shiel could still end up playing for the Hawks next year. And that would suck more than Roos demoting himself halfway through his already short expensive tenure.

The quicker we can get Paul Roos out of the gameday tactical command role, the better. Let’s face it, that is not his strength.

Yeah only won a premiership with it but anyways...

The answer is no....

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

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...

    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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
