SYDNEY coach Paul Roos may be only three years from retirement despite taking his Swans a step closer to back-to-back flags.

I'd say it's a MINIMIM of three more years and then we'll just see what happens after that,"

Most likely more than that.He did say "MINIMUM"

Roos kind of makes me laugh the way that he always throws out sly digs to all manner of people in meeting his media commitments.

I read the word "minimum" in this interview to mean, "If you hate me, don't bother counting down the weeks to the end of 2009 until I go; even if I've lost interest in coaching, I'm going to stick around solely to @@@@ you off."

Not many coaches at the moment could get away with saying they'll hang around for a minimum 3 years!

Doesn't that coincides with Tadhg's 'final' contract? Perhaps Leo, Kirk, Micky O and Hall will retire after that season too. Not a bad time to 'jump ship' so to speak.

Don't think that Micky O will last that long. We need to enjoy it while it lasts - he is an absolute pleasure to watch when on song and we may never see anyone else quite like him.

Agreed, Mick will be a year to year proposition from here on - the end can come very quickly. Kirk and Leo would also do well to squeeze out another three years.

Let's hope that starts with 2007 as his second half of 2006 has been his best footy for years - fatherhood obviously agees with him!!

Have you seen Steve Johnson play?

The two are quite similar...

Agreed.
Roosey is a media @@@@-stirrer.
He loves to play the media.

As much as I like Roosey I think limiting the amount of time that a coach is around a club is a good thing. I think 5-8 years max to keep things fresh new ideas etc.

I Hope Micky O is our first to 300.
