This the Australian link... Seems a definite done deal. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/afl/paul-roos-close-to-signing-2m-deal-to-coach-melbourne-demons/story-fnca0u4y-1226708022794

cheers Ben and I get what your saying. but my comment is more based around the perception he is no good rather than people over hyping. there seems to be a group on here who believe he is a terrible disposal and decision maker. my opinion is that he is like many others in our team and can make mistakes but we need our guys to sometimes just have a go and accept sometimes mistakes will come. I certainly am not saying he is a gun but many here seem to want to state as fact re his disposal when in fact he was 80% plus efficiency.

I don't understand why people here get stuck into Terlich so much. His run and attack on the ball is something we have been missing for a long time. Yes he may make mistakes but he is not on his own in this team. I would have thought his 80% disposal efficiency last night might have had people talking of his improvement with game time?

Can't mark can't pick up a ball with no pressure can't pick up the ball with pressure can't run can't do anything really

Not sure where I said it is uncommon or unique to Melbourne.... I agree with your statement others are the same. Of course this is symptomatic of any team that is performing poorly and disfunctional. I propose that for once we are not like every other team of supporters because of the way we look after each other when things aren't great. Let's face it the problem with Melbourne is as much to do with the fractures within the club and we see similar cultural symptoms play out here. What if we were different and recognised for the positives about the supporter base? Everyone is entitled to their opinion no doubt, but it is of course how it is expressed and conveyed that can make all the difference. I would suggest as supporters we must live and breathe for the club and each other rather than being the same as 'the rest'.

Why worry about other supporters when you can come on here for a pounding from your own. Its seriously disgraceful the way we eat our own on here. We all cop it enough without the crap our own give each other. On top of that many here are happy to put their opinion up as fact but when a guy puts up how bad he feels as we all do we lay into him??? Stick together and look after each other should be our mantra right now, we need each other for support and therapy if nothing else!!

As they said re Rhys Palmer.... Sure you are probably right but nothing is for certain...

Mate did you watch Boak tonight....he was the difference and if we had a player like him the rest of our midfield would play better too. There is a good reason Geelong went across to try and get him. Wines is good by the way I'm not suggesting otherwise. But people here are so obsessed with saying we got it all wrong when we are 5 games into what will be 10-15 year careers for these kids.

If you watched the game you would know he didn't have a lot of impact on the contest regardless of stats...

Wines wasn't great tonight...

How was Cranny maccas tonight? Also 8 games a year ain't much....but we need battlers like yourself.

Thanks for getting us back on topic Maldonboy. Appreciate the update.

The issue with expansion clubs is that they have bigger caps and space to match us if they need to. I can only seeing us land a player from these clubs if the player is adamant they want out to Melbourne.

I love it how you also know how many training sessions I've been too - you are a funny guy.Not sure if you know but they train more at on those ovals across from AAMI park. Therefore I have seen more of Jimmy than you. But no issue because you know everything and like to be the top dog with the last word eh! Cue your continued grandstanding on how and you think an 18yo kid is who will never be anything. Poor you..

Just wondering why you haven't been recruiting for us for the last 7 years. Sounds like your a gun in hindsight.
