Bulldog fans are saying Melbourne would be best fit. Fanatical trainer one of the fittest in the AFL, very ultimate professional, leadership written all over him, family man, tough and would also release pressure of Jones and Viney. He would also walk into our leadership group and provide valuable experience for our young players. Could you imagine the benefits of a Viney or Toumpas in what they would get out of following Cross everyday of the week during pre season just by his actions and the way he conducts himself on the track. Trent Cotchin has said the players got fast tracked by just having Ben Cousins there for two years just in the way he trained and the valuable knowledge he provided with them. and it shows. Look at guys like Cotchin, Martin Conca who have played some unbelievable footy since. Cross would be just as better because off field he is regarded as a big family man. I'm going to Email the club and put in a huge case in why we should recruit him. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/a-dedicated-devoted-old-dog-is-moving-on-20130829-2stmw.html

Wow this has seriously backfired on Brisbane.. its going to make them look even more worse if they make the finals. Wasn't the fact they sacked Voss would be the reason they thought Roos would coach them?

He would be the locker room leadership we are lacking. Yes from me. 2 year deal.

Jusf in regards to Sylvia, we offerd him a 2 year deal with a pay cut. Sylvia wasnt impressed and looks likely to leave.

Dont mind Sam Kerridge. A solid 188cm 87kg midfielder who kicked six goals against North Melbourne. Vic Boy aswell.

How come Pot Adelaides new fitness guy Darren Burgess or whatever his name can get Port up to AFL fitness standard in one pre season? They were just as worse last year. Blokes there were breaking their skin folds and turning up in poor condition. Mission has made us look very slow. Needs to go.

Yep we arent an attractive clube. And this is why we are chasing Roos. The club believe not only is he a good coach but he has that presence and charisma to attract players to our club. If we do get a priority pick expect that to be put on the table.

Basically what we all know and that it will be only be experience coach appointed. Nothing on Roos or Eade. Oh and Gary Ayres has been contacted.

Jack Watts getting massive interest from adelaide crows. Geelong also intrested in Watts but crows heavily into him. As are Carlton. Taylor Adams high on Melbournes list but is apparently not intrested in coming to us. Collingwood showing strong interest in Sylvia. Our recruiters will be targeting midfielders and small forwards in the national draft. Wont be any moneyball theme this year.. Source: Mate of mine just started working in the media and marketing department at the club.

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. http://www.abc.net.au/tv/bigideas/stories/2013/08/26/3833794.htm

http://www.smh.com.au/sport/wada-would-appeal-soft-sanctions-as-afl-prepares-to-charge-essendon-20130811-2rq9h.html Wonder if WADA will step up to the plate..

Surely this is a joke..

Funny thing is didnt the weapon mentioned collingwood and hawthorn on supplements. Plus what about Geelong and Gold Coast?? Typical AFL Csmokers!

Didnt lynden dunn get a injection?

At the start i was never confident at all with Roos coaching us. Thought we were a long shot but as i said recently we are seriously in the box seat. Roos was really turned off with brisbanes managment of Voss and basically the reason why he was sacked. Wasnt impressed at all. Is a massive fan of what PJ has done so far and i believe the article he posted about our best 22 couple of weeks ago made him think hard about coaching us.

Don't know if anyone knows but Billy was selected in the level 2 AIS team earlier this month. Hearing good things about Billy! Also there is a kid by the name of Harry Viney who plays for North Adelaide under 18s and bit of a goal kicking forward? The son of Jay Viney but haven't heard much else..

Nah I totally agree with you aswell. I thought West was a bit stiff to be shown the door by Neeld. I remember blokes like Mckenzie, trengove Gysberts and even bail were playing some terrific footy under him. I was pretty disappointed that he got the chop only to be replaced by Chocco Royal..

Im that dude that said that and by looking at what you just said I keep to what I say. [censored] post of the year

Lol bit like Scott West?

I love how people think that guys like Conca would even hint at the idea of ever coming to melbourne. Is in a team thats bound for sucess for the next ten years and destined to become one of the biggest clubs in the AFL. Conca would absolutely laugh in our face. Not many players are not wanna come to melbourne and this is thanks to Cam Schwab and Chris Connelly and the culture they set up. Its going to take a while to get rid of this Cancer Culture but we will get there.

your a joke thought you were better then that. Aaron changed the game single handly and he deserves absolute respect for that. He also did alot for the MFC and he deserves all respect like any other player thats played over 150 games for melbourne let alone AFL. ask any past melbourne player what they think of him and all you will get is the amount of respect they have for Davey. The fact you pick out the negatives and mention no positive whatsoever show your true colours and what an utter disgrace you are.

Disgraceful post. Aaron has given us a great service and you have the guts to pot him. Unbelieveble some of you supporters! He was playing good footy before his knees started getting dodgy. And Aaron provided valuable leadership to thos other indigenous players. But wasnt his fault they tragic circumstance.
