Very hard to believe based on last night on Footy Classified. But will be very disappointed if he doesn't do the 3rd year. The succession plan seems to be going nowhere at the moment. He is always talking up the improvement so far - I get the impression that is ultimately the way out - that he has improved the team "so much" already i.e. job well on the way to being done. Sad Roos has ruled out coaching beyond the 3rd year - Dees only got one foot on the bottom rung of a high ladder to climb - a million miles to go. And no-one else anywhere near the coaching ability of Roos.

Malceski - only if he comes for next to nothing. Dees must aspire higher. Cannot afford to fall for the trap that other clubs have - i.e. too many recycled players as a short term (questionable) fix.

Gradual progress but still a million miles to go. Obviously the list still has to be improved greatly so any consistent success will take a lot more time. Somehow have to retain Peter Jackson and Paul Roos for much longer than they have so far committed. Hope is a wonderful thing and they have given us it. Have to keep letting them know that and that we desperately want them in for as long as it takes. Don't ever want to lose that hope again. Fossil.

Many thanks for the welcome. Yep - Have to be mad to be passionate about the Demons tho I can remember the 50s and 60s triumphs. Will always stay loyal.

My first post. Just heartbreaking yet again - so many in the last 50 years. Better to be that close than pumped by heaps and some little positive signs e.g. Jetta better than I thought. Don't like the knocking of Grimes - still a good player - I know his disposal is not great at times.Don't like bagging umps - if a team is good enough it wins BUT the Bail decision against the Doggies and today's crazy one against Watts (great spoil) right on 3/4 time very hard to cop. fossil
