"I respect (Blues president) Stephen Kernahan enormously, we played against each other, and if he rang I would take his phone call and tell him what I've been telling other people - 'No'," Roos told the Herald Sun.

He's a bit new age for me, but I think I'd still prefer him over all others.

He'd command the same level of respect as MM you'd reckon, and wouldn't bring as much baggage.

Wouldn't piss McGuire off though.

Would prefer him over mm but would appear it ain't going to happen.

I think we have spies from the press watching us here. I used a throw away line that the club had a master plan and a surprise will be Sumich takes over.....I read it 2 days later in the paper as a possibility. God help us

Ken Judge said it two weeks ago.

Said every time Bruce rings him the pay goes up $100k.

I don't doubt it, but Ken was pretty firm on MM being second prize. I don't know who he knows at Carlton these days but he does rattle off a fair bit of Carlton related goss on Sat mornings on ABC local.

After seeing Kernahan response to questioning you can almost lock it in.

He's not a good liar.

kernahan does the look sideways when lying thing real well

shithouse liar

( i guess thats probably a good personality trait away from his work life)

I'd love to see it happen as I believe he'd be a better coach second time around...but it won't happen. The Mathiesons and Pratts want it to happen too, but it won't happen.

Roos would be my preference but the timing simply doesn't suit him.

MM will be a fantastic coach for us. He is the right man at the right time.

Im excited! :smoking:

I think that Roos is happy to be known as a premiership coach of the Swines and that's it.

Doesn't seem to the type to want to get his hands too dirty starting over again..

Interesting debate.

Plenty saying MM is washed up, and dismissing 2010 as a lifetime ago, and 2011 as a failure.

Not a lot said about how Roos hasn't won a flag since 2005, failed to get his side past week 2 of the finals from 2007-2010 (missed in 2009) and then has spent 1 year longer out of the game.....

He might easily be the best man for the job, but we can all spin statistics how we want to try and emphasise a point.

That's a good point.
We probably still judge him by his exploits in 2005-6 where he could have easily been a 2 time premiership coach and probably also by the performance of the Swans this year where Longmire has been coach for the last 2 seasons.
That said, he did get high value from a moderate talent list and that is his strength.

To add to that, Leigh Matthews had just the one flag did a few years On The Couch (nee Talking Footy) then came back and won three flags.

Therefore Paul Roos at Carlton = three flags. :lol:

From the outside it looks like they wanted the Ferrari but didn't want to go on the waiting list so they took the Maserati because it was in stock.
