Roos was the architect of our rebuild.

Roos believed that clubs should change their model with an older head of coaching.  Yet we persist with the older model?

Many miss Roos.  Lyon is the closest thing to him.

Offer him 4 years as HOC.

We haven’t got the time for Goody to grow into the role.  Goody stays no.2.

 

Am I turning into a panicked simpleton?  Maybe.

 

Roos and Bartlett...get it done.

    Ross Lyon would be a perfect fit. He is a brilliant tactician and a coach who preaches structure and has the ability to implement a disciplined gameplan. He would be a good get. He should be interested. He isnt silly, we have a very capable list.

  • Quote

    Absolutely not. Ross is way past it, whole gameplan was built on flooding defense which just isnt possible anymore with the rulechanges. I’d say Goodwin needs to get inventive with a new style but I genuinely havent seen anything this year to suggest he has one in the first place.

    No.

    I'm confused, there is Roos and then there is Ross... which one?

  • Quote

    St Kilda still haven't recovered from Lyon's time there. Freo haven't played finals for 5 years.

    No to Brad Scott too, before people suggest him.

    I'dmuch rather a Voss or Ratten (although he will have the St Kilda job wrapped up).

    How do you think Pert got the gig?

    Wake up.

    Lyon's game plan is outdated and he has continually failed on the big stage.

    We need a coach whose game plan and style maximises our strengths and compensates for our weaknesses. 

    If it were 2005, that may well be Ross Lyon, but in 2020 beyond, it's surely someone else with a similar philosophy. Leigh Tudor?

    A Milne bounce and a Scarlett kick gives him 2 flags against the best sides of that year.  Against the Hawks, who were the best team by daylight, they are in the game at 3/4 time.

    Continually failed on the biggest stage?  You are joking.  From an MFC supporter who wouldn’t know the difference between Broadway and TAFE theatre.

    And yet he has none.
    If the Saints or Dockers we're playing in my front yard I would've closed the curtains.
    Swans too for that matter considering Roos was using Lyons game plan.
    Took over young exciting lists, turned them into unwatchable robots and rung them dry with little thought to the future.

    Take a seat, Ross. You failed to win a flag multiple times.

    I wonder if TGR delivers a message from the club. This thread is oddly timed and strangely lacks context.

    You are a loser Ross!  Don’t come here. From a team that is home in the bottom 4.

     

    You probably would have advised Adelaide to stay clear of Malcolm Blight, who failed to win a flag in 89, 92 and 94.

    Mate, it's not 2005 and it's certainly not 1989. Get with the program and get with 2020.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
