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    Lyon's game plan is outdated and he has continually failed on the big stage.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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
