Yeah, well I can give you a very good reason why he might want to live elsewhere. He should be talked to.
-
Is that a guess or fact?
-
Where did people get the idea he wanted a few 'vying or the job' - he sounded like, and read like, they are going to appoint a senior assistant in the next few weeks who will become head coach in 2016 or 2017. Roos talked about 'certainty' for the players for the next decade over who their coach is - the senior assistant.
-
The bastard said competitive though...
-
That was me, and that is an rpfc original - trade the pick and if Kevin Sheahan (and whoever the people are that make sure the trades are ok) thinks we haven't been offered an acceptable trade, the pick is given to us for the draft. The NBA has 'protection' of picks where you can trade a high pick but have it come back to you should that pick be in top 3, or 5, etc. That's very different to this though. The AFL already 'signs off' on all trades so that no club is getting fleeced, so it would simply be an extension of that.
-
Then draft someone from the state leagues, other clubs, or nat draft that has a future and can be a back-up. There is no point in keeping them around if they can't contribute.
-
From what I can tell from the presser, the Coach from 2017 onwards will be decided in the next few weeks... That is as strange as it sounds. But that is the price (+$1.5m) for getting Roos onboard... Who they got in mind?
-
Why are we sullying this with politics? It's a mess across the board, and you can discuss it on the General Board. This is for Footy, and specifically about Roos. A bloke who might actually end up doing something. Another point of difference to anyone in politics...
-
Just let it go, guys.
-
And wasn't it something when he got fired up about the PP. He isn't going to lose that without a fight. Another tick.
-
The kid's done good.
-
I also like it from a MFC POV as there will be life after PR just like there was life before PR - this will mean we don't have a massive payout if it all goes to water.
-
Hey, I was the first to post proof of signing! What prize do I win, Nasher?
-
If he is going as well as we all hope/think he will do then he will stay beyond the two/three years. Your club managed to get the best coach available and write in protection if it goes all Blighty. How'd I do?
-
Well, that is the other issue. They get a release and then what? Clubs just sign them up on contracts not knowing whether ASADA will ruin them? If I was an Essendon player who was getting good advice, I would tell them to cling to Essendon and fight to stay - and even morally oblige them to re-sign me if ASADA is looming above my head. The worst story from this is the 21 year old who gets 12 months after being delisted by the club and his career is done. He can't play footy at all and his chances of ever reaching where he was takes a massive nosedive.

You click that link chumps!

That would be just terrible if the Commission did that. This is delicate but the Bombers can't become a basket case like us for a decade - that is what this would do. Although, maybe peer pressure will keep the majority at the club... But if 20 players are thinking this and want to leave - Essendon will be down for years. As much as that would be great for the rest of the world's happiness levels - can we minimise the amount of farce in the AFL soon?
-
Hex! Hex!
-
Oh, you are going to have a good day aren't you! Probably a Roos announcement and then the proof of a recent software upgrade withstanding all the use that will be generated. I'm a non-technical BA, Nasher, but I know that feel bro. Enjoy it.
-
While Denham can eat of bag, I am relying on the Bandwagoners to pay for Roos. WELCOME LOST DEMONS!! THE G DOES LOOK DIFFERENT DOESN'T IT? IT WAS RECENTLY REVAMPED...SEVERAL YEARS AGO... NO, I AM AFRAID THAT BROCK McLEAN DOES NOT PLAY FOR MELBOURNE ANYMORE... BUT THERE ARE MANY PLAYERS OF REASONABLE TALENT TO WATCH! ENJOY!
-
Oh, Jaded, don't tell that to the dev in charge!! Oh, it's on!! This is World of Warcraft, man! My money is on you Nasher, the site will withstand!
-
Well done bananas. And I think it says they are expecting more from Blease. And all awards like this are skewed to those who play the most games. As if that in and of itself is a good criticism...
-
Can you stop sheeting all over the players for their finish in the b+f? They played most games and Frawley missed 5 games and looked terrible in another couple - he did well to get near to players like the ones you have derided as they had far better seasons. And that is what this night is about - what happened THIS YEAR in a 2 - 20 year...
-
Yeah, I am still in a glass case of emotion.
