    Paul Roos

    Robbo has mentioned on 360 this week he reckons Roos will coach in Victoria next year.

    'IF true'

    Would you do a Fremantle (dump a a reltively inexperienced head coach for a seasoned and proven head coach) or stick with our BMac and see how it goes???

    Interesting question, not sure of the answer.

    But what club? Essendon? Melbourne? Richmond?
    More of an In Bruges guy?

      Roos officially denied interest in Melbourne.

      Richmond and Essendon seem happy. Leaves the dogs as a possibility, perhaps...

        If things don't improve as the season goes on under Bmac I wouldn't mind having a look at Roos and I think he could turn an average team into a very good team.

                We have won one game in the last 17 rounds and I can't see another win for sometime. GC will beat us next week.

                  But we've won the hard ball lately

                  Not too much BMac love in the thread so far. Is it just Roos is a better option, or a lack of faith in BMac???

                    I think Macca will be around for another two years and then depending on what happens he may or maynot be there after that.

                      My faith in BMac has long faded. Seems like a nice enough guy, says all the right things, seems to know what he is saying, but our on field results are as bad as they have been for decades, and personally i cant see any light at the end of the tunnel

                      Roos is a provem coach with a very ugly game style, but at least we know he can coach.

                          I think Brendan McCartney,if results don't pick up in 12 months time will be under serious heat.
                          Think that's obvious.
                          Robbo mentioned Roos has a child with another year of school to complete.
                          I'm still not swayed either way yet to be honest on Brendan

                            If Peter Gordon can supplement our bank balance, then absolutely I'd do it. In a heartbeat.

                            I don't think we could afford it though.

                              Seven years into Mark Thompson's tenure as Geelong senior coach, rebuilding their now much revered outfit with 3 premierships in the bank, had many at the cattery demanding his head in 2006. Now Bomber would be one of the most highly sought after coaching commodities. I fear a lack of patience and resolve given our desperation for short term success is our achilles heel, and not necessarily Brendan McCartney's ability to play a key role in getting the job done for us.
