I already mentioned him a couple of times... not sure why he is overlooked while Ling gets all of the attention. Then again, I also suggested Bob Murphy, so that probably eliminates me from any claim to sensibility ;-)
-
I would like to see a successor who has some of Roos' qualities in that they possess a history of elite performance as a player, the intellectual ability to see things clearly and apply them equally well, and is a great communicator... For this reason, I believe Ling would be worth pursuing, but if he is ruling himself out at this point, I can only think of two others who would fit the mould at this point... one is Brett Kirk, but the other is a real smokey (get ready to laugh) and is still playing, and that is Bob Murphy. Obviously he has no experience in the coaching caper, but I get the feeling he would take to it with ease.

We are spending vast amounts of money on a new coach and no doubt on new assistants and new players, so why would we throw money away on pointless exercises that are designed to justify the existence of a few marketing types? I like the emblem, have no issue with the uniforms and sponsors will come and go (you certainly don't just "change" sponsors).

But will there be any dwarf burning on Mad Monk-day?

Who were the eight Dees that Roos spoke to?
hardtack replied to Deespicable's topic in Melbourne Demons
No, he said in his presser that he would be talking to Sylvia on his return from Col's O/S trip and that he would be talking to Watts asap (forget the exact phrasing). -

Weren't the players Roos spoke to, just the leadership group? -
That's Paul La Roos... a distant relation to Danny La Rue.

It's not just about possessions... Jones was 2nd in the entire AFL for centre clearances and 5th (I think it was) for all clearances. A couple more mids like him who are able to get good clearances and we might find the possession count goes up accordingly as the ball finds more of our players.

I want it to be Kirk.

Deespicable, you were able to search the archives to come up with an August the 2nd newspaper article in which Roos lists his Dees team, yet was unable to scroll a few centimetres down the page where he could have found this??: http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/topic/34902-fill-in-the-blanks-paul-roos-melbourne-team-for-round-1-next-year/

Eeewww! Too much information!

Presser live here at 12pm

How dare you refer to our new coach as such OD! I will carry this avatar with pride for the next 24 hrs... then I will go back to my usual attractive self ;-)

How do you like me now? Viva Paul La Roos

I want whatever it is you're on!

We need something a bit more upbeat when it comes to heartache... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC28To-WTuQ

That just proves there really IS a gif somewhere out there for every occasion. There are no more new ideas.
-
And just as I thought it was safe to continue scrolling down the page, this! 2 x uuuuurrrrrggghhhh!!!

Uuuuurrrrggghhhhh!!!! That just made it worse.

Don't tell me, you're currently in a third world country?

And therein lies the problem... throughout his career with the Dees, Dunn has been pushed from pillar to post as far as his playing position goes. He was never allowed to settle into one position until under Neeld when he was given a permanent role down back. He can infuriate me with some of the things he does, but I'll be quite happy if he is persevered with under Roos who will probably be able to give him a more clearly defined shutdown role.
-
Huh? You don't understand the system, but you think it's terrible...how does that work?
-
Not being much of a SEN listener, I have to ask the question... is Andy Maher a reliable source dispenser?
-
So? Surely he or someone there would be getting sms msgs direct from the awards.
