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 wellย 

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. Thatโ€™s his legacy, helped turn it around but didnโ€™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 isnโ€™t part of the club any longer and you canโ€™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.

ย 

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)ย  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 Melbourneย  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"ย  ย  he's no girl though.ย  ย 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 circumspectย  but suffice to say the last couple of years of Roos' short stay had a few surprises.ย  Not all went to script.ย 

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

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

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

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 theย 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'veย 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 incrementallyย 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.ย 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' clubย - put your manners back in.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
