    Whatever it was, he will be working a hell of a lot harder "pro rata" over the next 3 years!
    I could almost guarantee the money is not the attraction. I'm sure for Roos it is the challenge. If he can pull this off he really will be the master coach.

      If he doesn't, he walks off back to the media with 5.1 million. Damn, I wish I was that unlucky.
      Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

            Those photos Benny had during his playing days are still paying dividends. They must be rippers...

              I don't understand these continuing nasty comments about McVeigh by a tiny minority of RWOers. He has consistently been one of our best players this year, in my view he is a great captain organising a much depleted back line and seems to be liked and respected by his team colleagues. We would be in a very much worse position without him.

                With the appointment of Backdoor Benny, I expect to see Bevan in Demons colours next year to complete the dream team.
                The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.

                  I understand what you're saying, but I have to agree with those that say the way Macca acts like a pork chop when he's not happy is a bad look. There is passion but the way it looks externally doesn't paint a good picture. Personally I find that I get better results out of people when I don't yell at them.

                  To be fair, I go on like a pork chop in the crowd but obviously the players (probably) don't hear what I say. I was very upset last week at the MCG :@

                  I am not taking away from his performance this year, overall he has been very good esp the first half of the year. But I haven't seen Kizza lose his marbles like Macca this year and I think Macca just needs to calm his farm a bit.

                    Hardly nasty comments. Simple description of a player who has an enormously inflated ego and doesn't hesitate to rip into his team mates when things are not to his liking.

                    Jack, as the other Captain, displays non of the same behaviour. Nor does anyone else in the team.

                    You're not suggesting there are a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock.

                      I pretty much agree.

                      For a guy who spent the first half of his career, avoiding contact and turning the ball over....It's a bit rich for him to go off so openly, and demonstratively, denigrating others mistakes.
                      Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

                        You can just imagine adding Heath Shaw to the mix. It'll be like 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?' out there.

                          42 disposals 2 goals 9 marks 5 tackles played through the mid field into the forward area for three quarters then in defence in the last to hold them at bay, best on ground by a country mile, Captain Courageous leading from the front all match.

                          I rest my case.

                            You actually missed two very important statistics ffrom last night which may have contributed to the above statistics.

                            These were:

                            Number of times seen flapping his arms - 0 times
                            Number of times seen abusing team mates - 0 times

                            So hopefully we will have a repeat of all the above stats next week.

                            McVeigh is on Game Day at 10 am today. So we should know more about last night's injuries.

                              Well this escalated quickly

                              PAUL Roos is accused of trampling on his legacy at the Swans by trying to recruit young Sydney stars to join him at the Demons.The new Melbourne coach, who guided Sydney to their 2005 premiership and established the famed Bloods culture, has set his sights on highly rated Swans academy players.

                              Chairman Richard Colless is furious at the actions new Melbourne coach who is attempting to lure the academy?s best prospect 18 year old Lloyd Perris to the Demons.

                                Bit dodgy but it's a one off thing because Roos knows the kid already.

                                If they want him they can draft him, and if we want him we can match b the bid. Surely they don't need to convince him to go there?
