Picture: Sam Ruttyn Source: DailyTelegraph PAUL Roos planned to use a Father's Day meeting with his family last night to canvas accepting a long-term deal to coach Melbourne. In what looms as the final impediment to taking the job, Roos said that if his family backed him, he would then decide whether he'll coach the Demons. After continually ruling himself out of coaching, Roos revealed on Friday that he was a 50-50 chance of taking the job and relocating his wife Tami and teenage sons, Tyler and Dylan, from Sydney to Melbourne. Since making the admission he was interested in the job, Roos said he had received plenty of support from football people. Despite speculation that he will be paid between $1.5 to $2 million a season, Roos said a salary had not been discussed and he would not take the job just for money. "I tried to give some honest answers the other night, and people can respond to it they way they want to," Roos said. A lot of people have been ringing me up saying, 'You should do it, you should do it'. You have to be 100 per cent that you want to do it and you have to sit down with the family and discuss it and Melbourne have to work to their time frame and I can't be waiting around and they also have to do what they have to do as well. Roos said he expected to hear from Demons chief executive Peter Jackson when time was running out because he was aware the club has to make decisions on players, trades and draft. There is no doubt Peter will say: 'Look Roosy, can you give me a final yes or no for this date', but at this stage I am just trying to work through different stages and what different options there are and what I want to do. He said he had family discussions when he was recently offered the Brisbane coaching job but the move wouldn't have worked for "different family reasons." "We said then it's possible to go to Melbourne to coach or doing something else and we've had some general discussions on it and Melbourne is an option," Roos said last night. We plan to have a chat tonight and I don't know whether we'll make a final decision but obviously family is important for me. Tyler is doing his Year 12. If the family said no, then it's a no.
