Roos to Collingwood?

Recommended Posts

More than that, Waldron insisted for the second time that Paul Roos would be working at Collingwood in some capacity in the near future.

“The mail is that Paul Roos is going to Collingwood anyway, we said that last week,” he explained.

“That’s as strong as you can get… so is Buck’s a dead man walking?

“I still think Roosy will turn up there, he may not turn up in the number one seat but he’ll turn up in a role there, because that’s what Collingwood do.”

He's not going to Collingwood. His wife has her own business and they're moving to Hawaii for a bit to work on her life. There's no way he uproots those plans for a second time to take on a secondary coaching gig.

There's definitely problems brewing at Collingwood.  I can't see how Nathan Buckley who seems to be a very straight shooter, and Gubby Allan can work effectively together.  Maybe Nathan wont have to work with Gubby if ASADA gets involved.  That may be where Roos fits in.

Collingwood may be looking for a lot of new senior people:rolleyes::

  • Football Manager:  Gubby Allen may find himself on an extended holiday courtesy of AFL/ASADA.
  • President:  Eddie must be on thin ice after:  hiring Allen; his big mouth nearly lost them their sponsorship with Holden; upsetting the chief recruiter; and realising his 'love child' can't coach.  The Board must be asking themselves big questions about Eddie and his judgement!  Wouldn't be surprised to see an 'exit' plan for Eddie.  But will he go quietly or will the sparks fly.  Popcorn time again?
  • Senior Coach: ...

Collingwood is looking very poor in the management stakes - lots of off field turmoil happening. 

Some old Rooboy mates (Pert, Randell) are there but can't see Roos at a club that is all over the shop!  He chose the Demons rather than the Lions because we were stable with the firm hand of PJ in control.

If Collingwood can be cleaned up surely the AFL can be cleaned up as well.

Some things are beyond cleaning.

I think he also chose Melbourne as he had the brief to come in and completely revamp the club with PJ behind him making his "visions" happen. The perfect Neeld storm meant that Roos was almost given a blank canvas and told to "do with the club what you will". Bartlett was the perfect presidential foil - stay in the background.

I think there are way too many ego's at Collingwood to allow this sort of exercise to happen.

I'd be incredibly disappointed if Roos suddenly lobbed at Collingwood. But I'm  not actually sure why I'd be disappointed. Probably I'd be worried Roos would work his magic on the filth. I prefer it when they are in the toilet.

Money talks

let's see what happens

It worked for us I suppose. He did say categorically that he would never coach again, but maybe they'll throw millions at him to join in some kind of football management role.

I bloody hope not.

As well as his wife's business might be doing it definitely wont be making $1.5m per year. He will be at Collingwood in a heart beat with those $$$$.

He might not want to be in the spotlight as a head coach but would jump at the opportunity of being in a director of football role.

Roos is a gun for hire. He came to Melbourne as an employee and like another other employee doesnt owe the club anything after they leave. 

All the best in whatever you decide to do Roos...

We wanted Roos for more than the three years he signed on for and it would have been at $1.5m a year, but he still only wanted the 3 year contract.

If he was interested in staying and if the money was an issue for him, he'd still be with us, he did all the heavy lifting and then passed the baton, he won't go to them because it's not about money.

What Roos does beyond his tenure at Melbourne is of no interest or significance to me whatsoever.

He got paid well, did a great job and both parties move on.

Good luck in whatever he does.

Yeah . . . but Collingwood.

I see the logic in him being an employee and having finished at the dees etc etc. But in my mind he is a demon and i don't care how illogical i am in saying this but i don't want him coaching another club. Full Stop. And Collingwood? Perish the thought.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
