Rattan just said on SEN that he hasn't been approached or spoken to anyone from melb...

Just thought I'd add this so we can tick another potential coach off the list.

As the song goes...

Why are we waiting

Slowly deteriorating

Why are we waiting

When we should be invigorating....

Couldn't remember the exact words, but looks good to me

GW is a [censored], same as his fat mate Robbo. Both don't know s#%t!

GW has this little whiny annoying voice that makes me want to slap him, and Robbo is a bogan who just loves the sound of his own voice.

Anyways, if you can't tell 360 is my favorite show

It really has been a crap few years and this was the worst I can remember.

I just hate the look of pity people give us now, pisses me off...

However, I'm like most of us on this site - I'll still go to games and cheer them on. That look of pity I hope one day turns to a look of fear everytime we play them...I can only dream!!!

I have also elected for the Dedicated Demons payment plan, so my membership rolls on!

Me too, but I was just after the free cap

Boring, can they just please make the right decision like today

Maybe to pass time until a coach/es are appointed, we should have a wager on the date on when it will be announced:

My money is on Tuesday Sept 17th (just a wild guess).

Any takers?

I have a funny feeling in my waters that we may even know this coming Monday....either that or I need to wee

Geez I hope for your sake you have a wee before Monday

I would be surprised if it wasnt Eade, with Simpson or Ling,or both as assistants/future coaches in waiting.

I've been thinking about this type of setup with Eade and Choco and I don't think they'll go for it.

1- Eade has come out and said that he has the fire in the belly to coach again. I just can't see him being interested in being a head coach for two years, then handing it over to Simpson/Ling in a couple years time just when we're turning it around.

2- Choco I believe would be in the same boat as Eade, if appointed he'd want to see it out.

3- Simpson/Ling would want a succession plan, otherwise why would they take it up.

Maybe I am seeing only what I want to see, but after replaying many times the look on the face of Roos tells me that it was a slip of the tongue. One can only hope...

I agree, however my wife thinks I'm delusional and in the past 6mths been reading into his body language way too much...

Just on the couch, they were talking about Malthouse going "bonkers" in the coaches box. Then Gerrard said to Roos while laughing "I don't know why your going back to coaching Roosy." They then quickly changed the subject...

Haha, I caught that also. I wonder whether it was tongue in cheek comment, or a genuine slip of the tongue...wait and see I suppose.

No Roos, no worries.

I love Matt Jones and Terlich's commitment to the ball, they just butcher it everytime they get it...I shudder each time one of them has it.

Hopefully it's just experience and they work hard on it over the preseason.

What another moneyball player...

No thanks!!!

I don't think Micky's ever been the same since he started watching Alfred Hitchcock... maybe he showed the blues his video library...

Only Sheedy dislikes those seagulls... he'd sort them out.

I like WYL's idea, chilli chips... nice 'N' hot.

Panadol in chips even better, however I don't think the kiddies will be happy with all the carcasses left on the pitch...

Wasnt he that guy who piloted the qantas airbus after the engine blew up?

Good man to have on board if he has experiences in avoiding plane crashes, because we basically are one.

Maybe the bombers should have appointed him....

Get it - Plane crash, bombers....

Sorry couldn't help myself!!

maybe you should have made this a new thread Jman?

Sorry, my computer skills are obviously crap, as I can't seem to work out how to open one up.

Computers says no

The way it's going, this thread is going to topple 200 pages.

The Paddle Pops are split - I don't know how to or if this should be on a new thread (it is related to Roos coaching though), a friend sent me this

EXCLUSIVE: THE Brisbane Lions board has been split by a powerful faction, led by Leigh Matthews, who aim to topple under-siege chairman Angus Johnson.

Directors Paul Williams, Mick Power and Matthews are running a ticket to take control of the embattled club and have vowed to make a fresh approach to Swans 2005 premiership coach Paul Roos.

Williams and Power this morning called on Johnson and fellow directors Linda Nash and Cameron Milner to stand down.

The trio refused and the issue looks headed for an emergency general meeting.

Johnson lost the confidence of his Power, Williams and a host of influential Lions supporters over the botched nature of former coach Michael Voss's sacking.

A group of influential former sponsors and directors orchestrated the coup that could result in Matthews drafted into a football director's role.

Respected doctor Alan Smith and former Fitzroy best and fairest winner and McDonalds franchisee Ross Thornton are also part of the ticket.

Williams said he was hopeful the leadership spill could be solved amicably for the good of the club but stressed his faction were up for the fight.

"We would hope there is sufficient momentum from our actions for the remaining board to reconsider their position," he said.

"We hope for the good of the club they might decide there is no point going to a meeting, but we are prepared.

"Leigh has taken a long, long time to get to this point, he feels now is the time to make a contribution.

"He has made it clear to us that he wants to be part of our ticket."

The takeover bid began at today's meeting to discuss the formation of a coaching selection panel, to be headed by three-time Hawthorn premiership star and former coach Peter Schwab.

The new board will make recruiting Roos the primary objective.

"He is absolutely still a priority for us, an urgent priority," Williams said.

"From Tuesday on there was a situation where we felt we had to maximise our chances of getting his attention."

Lions CEO Malcolm Holmes's position could also be in jeopardy.

We should rename this site to Apostropheland!!!

This year can't end quick enough.

Having said that, I'm going to go into football isolation during this preseason because if I hear "the boys are training well" again, I think I'll drop to the ground, rocking back and forth sobbing like a little baby howling "NO, not again"...

His efforts yesterday for the WHOLE game really pi/#ed me off.

IMO he's lazy, whinging and soft. With his past and current attitutude, it's just a shame/waste that he is talented.

I think he likes the look of our red polos, prob thinking they'd go well with his hair colour

Good that he is a former Clutz lawyer.I hope he can draft up a contract for the new coach. $50k per win.Simple.

Haha, I like...

Further incentives:

A finals win = 75k per win

A GF win = double or nothing

There may be a flip side to Neeldy going to the Blues...

Jack watts will be thinking no way will I be going there now

cant believe that,neeldy bidding war, say that again, and you were in the room,

must have been sick of the Essendon krap and wanted to talk about anything but

I agree. The funniest part was that when I heard it I was in the car with a blues supporter. The look on his face was priceless....

You can just imagine how much s+#t I gave him.
