RIP Robbie Flower - Sad Passing of a True Champion
champagne football replied to KLV's topic in Melbourne Demons
Just heard on the radio that Robbie had passed away. Condolences to his family. RIP and thanks for the memories and for being a great servant to the the club. -
Like many that have already replied I watched the first quarter and then did other things. I was barracking for the Swans. The one thing I am not looking forward to after Hawthorn's victory is Dermie going on about it for months...

Same person I spoke to suggested that Melbourne are not interested in taking Mitch back and this was before it became a media circus...

This time last year when Roos was announced as coach so excited...Now I just feel numb....

Roos' Post game press conference
champagne football replied to champagne football's topic in Melbourne Demons
It was also interesting when he said, "you don't want to say something you might regret..." Underneath is disappointed, but also seething. -

Sub AFL standard.. No positives to come from today. Like the supporters can't believe how players could miss shots and handbills. Difficult now with free agency because players have the option to go to better clubs eg. Franklin, Goddard, Dal Santo. Things can change quickly in football. First 14 weeks of the season AFL standard, now virtually back to square-one. PJ never sugar-coated where the club was at. Some players have already put the cue in the rack. Didn't speak to the players after the match. There will be wholesale changes at the end of the year who is up to it and who isn't -

Queens Birthday - Blockbuster Coming Soon
champagne football replied to Grapeviney's topic in Melbourne Demons
I work with lots of Pies supporters. Every win this year it has been, "Oh, it great to see you get a win against...Carlton...Adelaide..." So damn patronising, like we are a basket case. I am just wondering if they will say the same thing on Tuesday morning if we beat the mongrels? I have a good feeling and I think the boys do as well. Jack Watts seemed quietly confident when he spoke about Monday afternoon on "On the Couch". Very upbeat. -
Looking forward to Queen's birthday.. Bring on the Pies...

The Jack Viney bump that never was!
champagne football replied to Matt Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
Deledio gets a week and that was deliberate, whilst Viney 2 weeks and not deliberate. How does that work? -
SMALL MERCIES - POST MATCH DISCUSSION

It is just so depressing. When will the wheel ever turn? -

OTC Roosy being interviewed as the MFC coach, and special guest to OTC. Opens with part of the press conference from Friday. Outlines the contract and Roosy is in the guest chair with Melb gear. GH asks him about the contract and Roosy talks about what PJ suggested about the role and that was when Roosy started to think about things seriously GH suggests that Roos wants success in 2 years. Roosy suggests that he is setting up the coach and stability Ling withdraws from coaching and have spoken to Simpson and Burns. Roos will call them Neal Craig will not stay. Wants to move on if he didn't get the senior gig Assistant put in place will be the next coach. MFC supporters excited Mike wants Roosy to speak to the supporters and Roosy reassures them that this will not be a case like Malcolm Blight. He had knocked back some jobs and the timing is right now to be at MFC Mike asks what changed? Roos asked to take a pay cut at the Swans - 50 %. Roos acknowledges his time there and things happened to force him to move. Change in the landscape in the job. Melbourne needs a change in culture - Watts and Sylv important to the club. Mike asks about the Tony Sheehan issue , about being approached on behalf of the AFL . Roosy approached after Mark Neeld was sacked. Early draft picks? Yes, on the table and we need talent and we need midfield talent Change captains? Same reply as usual - what is best for them (jack and Jack) will be what happens.

On the Couch: Gerard opens the show and introduces Roosy as the MFC coach and congratulates him. Mike jokes and suggests that the announcement was supposed to be tomorrow according to last week's show. Roosy says his wife is due back on Tues and he looks forward to the challenge of being the MFC coach. Talking about the pies now... Will update when they start to talk about the Dees

I want a bronze statue at the G of PJ. Thanks for all your efforts in securing PR.

Did he suggest Roos was a sure thing to coach the Dees?

David King would be better served concentrating on North Melbourne - "The Chokers", AKA the Greg Norman of the AFL...
