Naaah! He mentioned near the end of the program that he loves the club and is ever indebted to it.
Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.
Fully committed means doing whatever it takes, including poaching staff - we shall see.
He can take Mayfair for all I care! So long as he doesn't put his grubby little mitts on Henry Playfair
its feeling like a little bit of a St Kilda / Malcolm Blight feel about it !

"be tough, only when it gets tough"
[QUOTE=Cardinal;622410]Definite implication on OTC that something had changed or was amiss at the Swans.
I also felt that way, but am hoping that it does not apply. Would be a pity if he took George Stone, Stuey, John Blakey etc with him. I heard mentioned somewhere else where Leigh Tudor maybe in the running for the Brisbane job.
Yeah, Mayfair 'aint worth jack if he hasn't got Park Lane to go with it.....
Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09
Yes that was very clear from what he said.
I wonder how much of his success with the Swans was his talent or the players around him. In my opinion he jumped ship before he was asked to leave in terms of coaching the Swans. They had gone as far as they were going to go under him.
He must be paid very well for his current media roles to knock back the money that the Demons are throwing at him.
I really hope he takes the role. It might be Hird all over in terms of coaching success. Ignoring "Big Ears" peptide/unknown drug program to help his coaching.

The news from Moore Park is that Roos isn't happy with the amount of times the Swans are cleaning the birds poo off his statue. Its out in the open whereas Kelly's is undercover. Each day he takes Colless out to it after his complaints then says "Richard, here it is !!!!"
Nothing like a good light bulb moment.
The reference on OTC to things changing at the Swans that he (Roos) didn't want to talk about will almost certainly be about
money. If Roos does end up at Melbourne, he will need to be paid a lot of money, that will essentially be ponied up by the AFL.
But if you go back far enough, did Ron Barassi rock up here in 1993 for peanuts? I doubt it. Where did that money come from?
The same place. The AFL. Sheedy? the same thing. It's just the nature of being a "saviour" coach, you need to be paid a lot. Each
win by a "saviour" coach comes at a massive financial cost. Barassi "won" 13 games in three years at the Swans (though Plugger had a pretty big input into eight of them in 1995 as I remember. Sheedy "won" 4 games in two years at GWS. Roosy? best case scenario would
probably be 20 wins and 46 losses over three years at the Demons. As for assistant coaches leaving the Swans to go to Melbourne. Well,
that would be their choice. Assistants leave clubs all the time. We have a great coach in Longmire, and everyone should have faith in him
to get "the help" he needs.
Blakey told the club this week he wants to continue.
Guys , give me a break!! It was a long day at work and at the end I could not think clearly as I was pretty Piccadilly!
Press conference shortly to announce Roosy to Melbourne!
Roos named Melbourne Coach - MELBOURNEFC.com.au

I can handle having Roosy going to Melbourne but will be none too happy if he takes everyone with him.
