Roos' goodbye game

[TGR 1,367]

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.

Presumably he says "here it is", the boys do a victory lap and we all drink for 3 weeks.

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.

To be honest everyone on this thread is in a lot of denial, and I like it

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