Roos' goodbye game

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"

 

 

I prefer this... sob!

 

Or this... 

 

 

 

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:

 

Edited by AzzKikA


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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
