Why wouldn't the kid rather be on a senior list, with a coach he knows, and the very real prospect of serious game time? The swans know they have it good, and are just trying to maintain the status quo! Come to the dees, young fella!!

Well we have players with heart problems why not supporters.

I think the heart problems would come when we start having close games... For now its probably just liver issues

Does this mean you can't sign up if you have an arrhythmia?

Is there any news on Geoff Walsh?

You're right, DL. My bad

Is that Paul roos' head photoshopped onto Neeld's body?!

Probably the same flight he's caught every other week this year.

No doubt to fulfill commitments with his current employer Foxtel.

Come on! Don't be so logical! This thread didn't get to 200 pages due to people being logical!

Any one seen Paul roos on a plane anywhere at 5am this morning?

Haha... Funny you should say that. A random on twitter is saying roos was on a flight from Sydney to Melbourne this morning

Edit: apparently not a random. The twitter page of an ABC grandstand program. @MTJAGgrandstand

You didn't take me seriously. Surely not!!!

... No... No I didn't

I was leaning towards that... Any morsel of info though....

Tammie has just arrived on the Bluey red carpet, but she is going stag tonite. Experts are commentating how this does not look good for Roos coaching the club in 2014. Bookies now have Roos at $1:02 for the job and Roos is now 49/50% chance.

I'm sorry... Are you saying Tammi Roos has arrived at Melbourne's B&F by herself? When she is supposed to be in Bhutan?

Please explain

It begs the question that if he does sign and is announced before Monday evening, would he even appear on the show? Did I read somewhere that he will be on 360 on Tuesday evening? That seem logical to me that an interview on 360 on Tuesday night as opposed to his usual gig on OTC which involves interviewing others after he has signed (if that makes sense).

My tip is Roos will not appear on On The Couch next week because he will have 'other' committments.

It may even be announces as Mike saying "Paul won't be joining us tonight due to other commitments... And we all know what that means! Am I right Gerard? Am I right? I'm right."

Damian Barrett is such a loser

Once again reporting Roos to Melbourne negatively by asking how we will pay for it and why are we getting AFL handouts to pay for a greta coach

Too dumb to realize the extra members and sponsors will easily cover it with plenty of change to spare

[censored] Barratt you ugly [censored]

To be fair, he did say that the money wasn't going to be wasted. He obviously thinks its a good move. But yes, he is a [censored]

It kind of just occurred to me that if we didn't sack Neeld and the Don etc when we did we would never have been a chance to get Roos.

This is going right to the line (thank god we have had all this time to restructure the club)

Coincidence? Yeah, probably

My top 4 are Nath Jones, Col Garland, Col Sylvia and Dean Terlich

I think WCE will still sack Worsfold, give Scott Burns the reins in 2014 but you're right it is amusing,

who do you think coaches Brisbane?

I'd love to see either Mark Harvey or Craig get the role. I think Mark Harvey was really hard done by when Freo brought in Lyon, and think he was doing a good job.

I'm one of those who thinks, while Craig's experience is great, for me we need a clean break from the Neeld era... Rightly or wrongly, that's just how I feel. But I think he'd do well in Brisbane.

I wonder if Burns would hang around for another 2 years at West Coast if they re-sign Worsfold... Maybe they need a Collingwood style succession plan?

I agree, i'd love to hear they have called for a presser this arvo, but at the same time i think we already have a fair idea don't we?

we get to rub into Brisbane supporters how they have totally stuffed up their coaching process and we got out number 1 target which is hilarious.

Don't forget the enjoyment that can be gained from reading West Coast fans calling for the sacking of John Worsfold, and the appointment of Roos.... Too late, guys!

I think if there is an announcement it will be at our best and fairest night (Thursday).

Although I would appreciate it if Roos put us out of our misery.

It's been said before, but I think it should be announced the next day. Let's put an end to this year, and then start afresh

What he says OTC will be interesting, i am expecting something along the lines of, " i had a talk with my family and Melbourne is an option, i just have to work out if i really want to coach blah blah blah, it's obvious i have signed and want to give half of my salary to Demonfan26 blah blah blah

You better find out his true salary then!! It could be the difference between you getting $750,000 and $1mil!!!!

Those worried about the $2m price tag - it is never as high as it is first reported - and we will get 10k lapsed members just from his presence and sponsors will come out of the woodwork to have their name on his left [censored] if he is coaching the club.

He will bring in more than he takes.

Do you think that will be written into the sponsorship contract? A tattoo of the company's logo on his left one?

The other line of thinking would be that we havent heard anything because there is nothing to hear... we know Eade and Williams were interviewed, and that Roos said no. There might not be anything else to hear

Eade or Roos for me... Eade's odds are probably a bit short, but who knows?

This was posted on a ABC website 2 days ago when Paul Roos was a speaker at some leadership forum..

Wach the the video and go straight to 30:03 and he was asked about the Coaching job. Again said he told peter Jackson no but remember from what we know Roos spoke with PJ basically after Neeld got sacked. As you can see Roos is a massive PJ fan and is impressed by his work. The way I see it is if there right people are in place ( Which I think we are starting to have, plus hopefully Geoff Walsh) then he will take the job. You can watch the video there.

I've really wanted Roos for coach for a while... And after listening to this, I want him to coach all the more. But Hogan_Heroes is right. This time, he said he told PJ 'No'. The was no 'at the moment'. I'm still holding out hope, but its minute.

Unless 2 of Adam Simpson, Lenny Hayes and Cameron Ling are somehow part of the coaching structure (line or assistance coaches), I won't be happy with Craig as coach. We need someone to help build culture, not just coach the team.

Has said he's looking forward to playing the next two weeks.

Mahoney has said they are talking about him being involved in some capacity next year

Looks like Garry Hocking.

Little bit like trenners as well
