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

[Viney]

Jackson wants tomorrow, Roos wants next week. Don't know when he will but you'd reckon he wouldn't want another onslaught on OTC then take up the job the next day. It'll either be tomorrow or Monday. But I just wish they'd friggin do it, it's causing anxiety attacks everywhere!

Whilst its done, I just want it announced

Ahh I hope it's tomorrow cause I've already ordered a truckload of balloons and whistles and general party paraphernalia. I was under the impression this Roosday, being tomorrow, was going to be an annual event from now on, heck I even bought gifts for all my family and friends, including Happy Roosday cards and wrapped everything in official Roosday gift wrapping.

I will be changing that day to my birthday....it is like being reborn.

I think if Roos wants it next week, it'll be next week.

 

[CM Sean]

They should have some news tonight on The Footy Show. So we'll await some further good news tonight, I guess.

Roosy into $1.03 on Betstar v any other candidate - $15.

John Worsfold has just resigned, Oh god I hope we don't get stooged.

I think if that happened, my family would have to deal with me going through the 7 stages of grief.

Haha, surely Burns is a shoe in.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Better not be Mickey O.

 

[Jamurp]

Haha, surely Burns is a shoe in.

Surely he can't pull a Ross Lyon on us, I couldn't handle that.

 

[Tulip]

I still haven't locked in Roos as our coach, this WCE thing is a big spanner in the works.

 

[SuburbanMe]

Hmmm with that in mind I am now of the belief he is picking ex fitzroy boys to assist. Below are "the new rumoured assistants"

Alastair lynch, forwards
Steve paxman backs
Mark zanotti, team hairdresser (will bring roos' mullet back properly)
Blakey, mids
Wilfred smallhorn, no job but needs a mention as probably best name in football history

Zanotti was a gun!

It'd be nice to see Mickey Conlan and Richard Osbourne stick their heads up if that's the case.

 

[CM Sean]

I don't even know what to say. Just hurry up and announce our coach! lol

Peter Ryan: suspicions around that Roos is no certainty now.

 

[CM Sean]

If he Ross Lyon's us, I swear to god!!!!!!

Peter Ryan: suspicions around that Roos is no certainty now.

I think you've read that Tweet wrong if that is what you were referring to.

Somebody asked him: "what's the mail down there Pete regarding Roos. I'm hearing he'll coach & presser tomorrow, any truth?"

He replied with: "suspicions around that might be the case but no certainty."

Think he might be referring to the announcement being tomorrow, not on whether he'll coach

 

[CM Sean]

Ralphy HeraldSun: No announcement on P Roos at tonight's Dees b and f. Tuesday still the deadline. Would take monumental backflip for him to not coach them

The West Coast job opening better not be that backflip! #shittingmyself

 

[SFebey]

Guys, Roos has signed, I'm just forwarding media snippets for you. He's not going to WCE

 

[SuburbanMe]

Has Roos gone to WA and Met with the Eagles leadership group?

Has he done that with us?

Has he openly said he wants to coach the Eagles?

Has he said that with us?

 

[wowlace]

If he doesn't end up coaching us you guys can blame me for jinxing it with this AV.

 

[CM Sean]

The more I think about it, if he didn't want to move to Brisbane... I highly doubt that he'd want to move to Perth.

 

[Chew Man]

Was reading the Roos thread on D'Land, cos there are a couple of blokes there with seemingly good info ... and some guy, who'd given good news previously, stated that 'Roos had officially turned the club down'.

I was about to start breaking things.

Fortunately 5 minutes later he said he was taking the piss.

Good thing he came clean after 5 mins, another 5 a d poor old Roosy might well have gotten a knock on the door from 35000 people in blue and red scarfs carrying burning torches and pitchforks!

Maybe he really, really likes coal?

 

[maxmustard]

If the media don't know if he has signed yet then the forums won't either probably.
