Paul Roos and Melbourne 2016 - what is a pass mark?

[YippeeYiYeo]

This is Roos' 3rd year as coach for Melbourne. So far the record is:

2014: 4 wins and 18 losses
2015: 7 wins and 15 losses
2016: ?

So for the Demons to consider the Roos appointment to be a success, what should his 3rd year at the club yield? Finals? 10 wins? What sort of season would see Roos' job in trouble?

 

[Upgrayedd]

Honestly. 10 wins depending on injuries.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Maximum one ten goal thrashing suffered. W-L record doesnt matter. Sign of consistent competitiveness is always THE indicator of the corner turned from cellar-dweller to playoff contender.

 

[wowlace]

Considering our list, anything less than top 4 is a failure.

 

[EagleShore]

10 wins 12 losses would seem to indicate yet another improvement relative to other teams around their ladder position so a pass mark given Essendon is pretty much out of it would be at least 9 wins and a percentage around 85-90.

A very good year would be 11 wins or above (thereby in the bracket of teams actually vying for the lower positions in the 8) with a percentage above 100.

I'd be impressed by anything over 11th.

 

[RUNVS]

I think 9 or 10 wins would be considered a success in 2016 though another way of measuring success could be getting their percentage from 76% to something more respectable like 85%.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Honestly. 10 wins depending on injuries.

Their list is building but I don't see where they would get 10 wins from this year.
I reckon somewhere between 7-9 wins, with a percentage around 90% to reflect less beltings, would be a pass mark.

 

[Marmozet]

7 wins last year is a solid return for them, and it could have easily been 8 or 9 with a bit of luck. 10 wins should be their target in 2016.

 

[LittleG]

Anything less than 10 wins is a major Roos failure. He is being paid big money and the team has spent so many high picks on players and brought in so many players from other teams, they must perform.
Major rebuild failure, if the dogs make finals while the Dees are still stuck closer to the bottom than the top.

 

[adammania9]

7 wins again. I don't think he'll care that much anyway, he's not there in 2017.

 

[Kram]

A flag.

 

[Doggies 06]

Their list is building but I don't see where they would get 10 wins from this year.
I reckon somewhere between 7-9 wins, with a percentage around 90% to reflect less beltings, would be a pass mark.

I suggest you look a bit closer.


The Dees list has some serious talent coming through.

Not too difficult to see 10 wins (or more) in 2016.

 

[Kram]

They have more than enough talent to make a significant rise up the ladder.

 

[RUNVS]

I am not sure who did the draw but a problem for Melbourne is they do not play Carlton or Essendon twice.

They play

GWS
Fremantle
Bulldogs
Saints
Collingwood

twice and that is not necessarily super easy. Fremantle won't be easy other than the Saints everyone else on that list is in contention for the top 8.

More wins than losses.

Finals or bust

Finish above Essendon and they are golden

 

[Kennedy Parker]

They'd want to be pushing for finals at least this season. Maybe at least 10 wins with a percentage above 90%.

Roos is handing over to Goodwin as senior coach at the end of the year.

 

[aussierulesrules]

If Hogan plays most of the year then probably 9 wins would get them a pass.

While the other %2 is not slightly outside the bullseye, but completely missed the dart board and impaled a crowd member in the eye.

Guessing you're talking about last year's draft because we've copped: Haw, Port, Coll, St.K & GC twice in 2016.

 

[Rich]

You'd think that if Hogan or McDonald go down, they will be found wanting at that end of the ground.

Gradual improvement from Viney, Brayshaw, Gawn, etc will go a long way to them moving up the ladder.

I hope we do better than the Demons.
