Haha looks like you're argument has run outta puff.

I'm not knocking you or your point, but I do disagree with it pretty strongly. Roosy decided his tenure was only 3 years, he wasn't shoved out he decide to leave on his own terms. What he thinks of himself and his legacy is irrelevant, it has zero bearing on any results

Nest you'll be asking me to take Slobbo Robinsons opinion seriously

I don't hate Roosy, but I agree with you dazzle.

Carlton will suit him well 

Nah matey, just reckon I've tried to explain the definition of legacy to you enough times, so now you're clearly just being one of those guys on an internet forum. I posted what I had heard, from a source I've explained, and also said I can understand if people don't choose to believe me. If you want to get your knickers in a twist about that it's up to you and doesn't bother me. I'm more interested in trying to be a practical poster here than having internet willy size contests. Have a good one.

Edit - Oh and just for the sake of clarity, this thread is about Roos taking a role at Carlton, nowhere have I said his opinion has any bearings on the results for the Dees. That's something you've chosen to try to weasel into the conversation for some reason.

Roos wanted a short time and then to groom a successor, Goody was it. That’s his legacy, helped turn it around but didn’t want to finish the job and left it to someone else.. That was his choice, he was great for us and we all thank him but he isn’t part of the club any longer and you can’t complain from the shadows.

Rumour is he is quietly seething behind the scenes at what Goodwin has done to his legacy at the Dees, and that, combine with changed life circumstances, has seen him look to come back into the coaching fold.

 

For clarity purposes, like I've said this whole thread.

Who cares what Roos thinks. I also disagree with you're point about his legacy. It stops when the new coach takes over. We obviously disagree on this point, but one Roos left it is my opinion Roos legacy is irrelavent

Nothing against u Lord Nev lets just agree to disagree

There's a number of aspects to this...ONE)  Roos IS [censored] off big time. He grew to have a very soft spot for us

TWO) he's very much miffed about certain events that happened at Melbourne  THREE ) He would /will never return...There are impediments in his way.

Yes Roosey makes a pretty good coin. But he's quite passionate about footy. he was once very passionate about us.

The only analogy that comes to mind......"a woman scorned"    he's no girl though.   Some might get this...especially anyone who is au fait with how the club's travelled in recent years. Cheers

I'm not being a smart [censored] here, What are these points Roos is so upset about?

I haven 'heard anything (mind u I am not important enough to know!)

Ok. I have a need to be a tad circumspect  but suffice to say the last couple of years of Roos' short stay had a few surprises.  Not all went to script. 

Roos is a proud man with much to be proud of. Jackson was an ignoramus to things football  but a very clever man as to business. We should be thankful  for both. 

Not everyone  was/is on the same page at the club. Some have their own little game in play. 

Ill ask a question  in lieu of pontificating  erroneously.  Why do you supposea person so keen on the MFC...is no longer...to the point of handing it a lesson ?  Trust me....bears considering.

Intriguing but must say I am not close enough to the Club to be picking up your clues.

I appreciate what Roos did at the club...I appreciate what PJ did a lot more.

...but honestly 'bb', the only thing that Roos is really passionate about is himself.

The Carlton move is a smart one for him, he knows they are on the way up now and he can hitch a ride and add to the aura that surrounds him.

The Sundance Kid rides again...

If it means the Baggers get 2-3 years of incremental improvements, some form of transition arrangement and a year or two of flash in the pan type performances then they can have him!

He left MMM this season because they wouldn't meet his pay demands and goes on Fox with flirtatious intent to spruik his services to the highest bidder - let's face it he's a modern day gun for hire.

This is a moronic post. Roos did a terrific job at our club and was well worth the money. He's entitled to decide who he works for and to ask what he is worth. You would have no idea what is important to Paul Roos and probably have never even met him.

I don't know what having an idea about what's important to Paul Roos nor whether I've met him has to do with anything, let alone my post. Only he can answer that and I'm pretty sure (and hopeful) he doesn't frequent DL.

Everything I stated is fact. We improved incrementally which was due, in part, to a job of work from Roos. He walked out on his Triple M contract and he goes on On the Couch each week where he gives teasing responses to Gerard's Dorothy Dixers, just as he did in 2013. I'm not sure why you're even taking issue with this and the more I think about it it's scarcely relevant.

Please don't call anyone or their posts moronic - we barrack for the same freakin' club - put your manners back in.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
