Will Roos coach again?

I don't like players letting out their love or dislike for a coach. He is the coach period. 

I would suggest that a forward would enjoy the more attacking focus of Goodwin than defense first mentality of Roos. I understand why we needed such a focus on defense as we were bleeding goals prior to Roos but it does appear that Goodwin does allow a little more free flowing footy.

I agree 'nutbean'.  IMO it is easy for Goodwin to allow a more free flowing footy because Roos drilled the team in 'defence first' and 'contested play' in his first 2 years.  In his third year Roos was all about 'attacking' football which all young players like and Goodwin also favoured.  Without Roos' first two years Goodwin would have no chance for the attacking game plan he now has.

Any player not at the club prior to 2014 just wouldn't get what Roos really achieved and why he coached as he did.  He played 'bad cop' allowing Goodwin to play 'good cop'.  So if players had their nose out of joint by Roos so be it - as you say nutbean:  He is the coach, period! 

I so dislike 'purple' - he is always trying to stir the pot when it comes to the Demons using mere innuendo to create a 'story'.  And his comments are stupid - everyone knew Roos was going at the end of 2016 so why would anyone whinge about 'if Roos had stayed'.  It wasn't an option so I don't know what 'purple' is rabbiting on about!

The difference is being overstated a bit though. Goodwin is working with a list that is far less error prone than even the one last year, that affords the luxury to play more free-flowing. More errors and the players go back into their shell and don't take risks. I think Roos would be coaching in an extremely similar manner this year. They even tried the 8 man backline running through the centre last year.

Does it really matter if he does, coach again ?

Really couldn't care. 

Wouldn't be surprised either way.

It's irrelevant if the players liked Roos or not, Roos wasn't at Melbourne for a long time, he was at Melbourne to fix a broken club.

He did that, and it took a whole lot of hard truth to get to where we are now. I'm sure lots of players weren't happy to be moved along, or told they weren't working hard enough. Goodwin has the pleasure of taking over from Roos, who laid the foundation and did the really tough work that only someone extremely tough and extremely experienced can do, without breaking the playing team apart. 

We should be forever greatful for the work Roos did, in setting a foundation for our club and rebuilding not just our list, but the entire level of professionalism of the playing list.

I thank Roos. He did a job. A long overdue job.

Game day ..meh.   But i dont know what HIS plan was so as far as i was frustrated maybe a bigger plan in play.

I like Goody's game. I wonder about his style re personal interaction but at the end of the day (sic) we needed moulding. Report's suggest players in the main respond positively.

What Paul does now is Pauls business. Good luck and good cheer.

Go Dees

I'm calling BS on the Hogan decision having any relation whatsoever to Paul Roos. Everyone knew exactly how long Roos would be at the club. Why would Jesse ever even bring it up as a factor in re-signing?

Correct.

He also didn't like Roos.

Every coach on the list would have disaffected players, so it's no big deal.

Can't imagine Jesse wanting to wait under Roos when he could have goodwins get it forward as fast as possible style lol

Shocking coach.

Good list manager.

Pulled his only flag from his ring-would not have happened without Barry Hall who should have been on the sideline for a right hook.

I think if Roos coaches again he will coach a team like Collingwood that is struggling to make them a bit better.

The jungle drums last season linked Roos to the Pies. But I don't really know if Roos will coach again. But money talks..

My guess, is that a coach like Ross Lyon would take on another job. Ie. Suns or Pies. I think he'd take on Pies. 

Only because the rebuild at Fremantle IMO will require a lot of energy, and Eddie needs to find someone to replace his 'apparent' blunder and boot him out of bed if things go pear shaped in season 2017, which they could well do over the next 3-4 weeks starting with Sydney this week. (0-3?)

 

PS. And given Ross dealt directly with the Freo board - unbeknown to Craig Kelly - I dare say Eddie would have no hesitation in ringing his mate Kelly on the quiet.

    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 sta

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
