News Melbourne's Next Coach - Roos for 2-3 years with a succession plan

[CM Sean]

If we get Williams as an assistant after already getting Paul Roos to coach, I'm going to be so excited!

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

That would be interesting...Williams doesn't exactly need an 'apprenticeship' so could indeed take over sooner rather than later...

surely would stay an assistant? Would have thought Simpson or Burns would be a much higher chance?

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Maybe GM of Football - but no way Williams doesn't an apprenticeship under Roos.

Premiership coaches don't do apprenticeships.

 

[CWaffles]

I have a little inkling that our senior assistant will be Mark Williams. The club has met with him this week.

Very Interesting, i agree with TPM maybe it is a GM of football. Or possibly even a similar role to what he has at Richmond? not sure what it is exaclty....Dustin Martin Minder?

We could just make a position up for him if he wants to come to the Dees.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

I think sacking Voss was their biggest miStaker.

Yeo man, that was an extremely Crisp post. And yeah, not too many Beams around the Gabba these days. They can't go on much Longer like this. Those issues Merrett much Closer attention.

Black days indeed.

No. Sheedy's time in football is over, he needs to move on.

Don't need him, win games of football and the rest will fall into place.

fair enough, just thinking at least it was stop his unnecessary hatred against us... (needs to move on he does)

He can hate us, after all I hate him.

its amazing this board has already started repairing the problems of the previous, Kaspersky fix was done by PJ wasnt it? They seem to finally get that sponsorships aren't a trading tool and if you have one and they are offering lots of money then you sign, you sign there and then! Especially when it is a new damn company that wants to come into aus and will get bigger.

Now they sponsor Pies... that sucks

So we've got Sheedy using our players to make p0rn now.

Awesome. Just what the world's been waiting for

I was speaking to a few people at the Bluey Thursday night. It would be fair to say that the players are excited about Roosy coming onboard. Anxious is another word that comes to mind. For those that are kept on the list, the slate is wiped clean, but they would want to make an impression fairly quickly. No longer will the tale wag the dog.

Didn't Roos get announced Friday afternoon?

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Anybody know how Craig is doing and how is exit from the club is being managed? Seems pretty quiet on that front to me - I hope we (the MFC) haven't made another enemy of a good football person.

Yes, but it was pretty common knowledge that he was ours prior to the announcement.

PJ and Craigy had an agreement when Neil took on the care-taker coaching role. He would happily move on from the club at the end of the year if the incoming coach had no role for him. (See this to mean that the club would pay NC out if he did not find a role at another club.) Craigy cleaned his looker out the other day and is on the look out for a gig at another club. It was handled very respectfully.

Cheers. That's good to hear and I hope it was as simple and "clean" as that

 

[SuburbanMe]

Much respect for Craigy. He's like the furniture of the AFL - and I wish him nothing but the best in his next appointment.
