Uncharted territory for the MFC with a coach going out on his own terms.

I wonder how the rank-n-file will approach this.  How did Sydney handle it?  Will we give him a standing ovation at 3/4 time?  Will the trumpeter blow a few sombre notes?  Will the Roos-Views-Interview bloke give him a few thought-provoking questions, interrupted by tears, on the PA system?  Will others expect astray change from the 4.5m?  Will we act according to the scoreboard and W-L column?  Will Walls and Demetriou chair him off?

Will it be our last home game v Hawthorn?  Our last G game v Carlton?  Our last game v Geelong?

    Our last G game v Carlton. That's my tip, with a smaller sendoff against the cats, unless of course, we sneak a win.

    Will we give him a standing ovation at 3/4 time? Dunno, but I would like to give the ovation to whoever in the afl inner sanctum, convinced him to take over. It may well have saved us from extinction. And make no mistake, it was AFL inspired.

    Best mate and I going down to skilled together to watch Dee's in last round.. Been meaning to go for years, he's a Cat's man..

    He says to me, "You blokes will probably beat us again as it's Roo's last game"

    I simply replied. "That's not confirmed yet"

    "Goodwins confirmed for next year" he replies

    "I'm well aware of that"

    "You blokes won't play finals"

    "Also not confirmed"

    As a Demon's supporter all this stability doesn't sit well with me.

    I say sack him with one game to go with Brett Alison as the stand in for the last game.  Purely just to cause confusion

    First sign him on for another 3 yrs, then sack him.

    I reckon a bloke still at the club did just this in the last 5 years... Father of a future captain.

    2016 Semi Final vs Adelaide at Adelaide Oval will be Roos last game as coach... after we rolled the Doggies by 31 points in the Elimination Final

    We go down by 7 points in a brave and brilliant performance, and its clear the next powerhouse club of the AFL has arrived.

    Can not forget the song that is used at EVERY farewell event:

    Note that I do not agree with the unofficial chorus of the song in regard to Roosy. But since we're all posting farewell music here's one that Roosys mullet would surely have appreciated in the old days. Potentially could be accompanied by dancers lifting their veils of negativity.

    Get a small group of the boys to re-enact this.

    If we win this weekend and North lose to Port, put the farewell plans on hold just for now.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
