    Very sad news indeed.

    I was privileged to see Doc play on quite a few occasions down at the junction oval and on the MCG. He was one of the best football players I have ever seen. He was very short for a KPP but was blessed by the good lord with a jynormous bum which proved to be a mobile roadblock to opposing players.

    He is immortalised on the MCC tapestry hanging on the wall outside the longroom.

    My parents were neighbours with him in Lower Barrington, but they recently moved back to Melbourne.

    Dad said he was a real nice fella, seems pretty gutted by it, and Dad's dog died this morning too. Sad day.

    Wasn't able to see the "Doc" pplay but i heard all about him as a kid.

    Incredible that he was able to hold down CHF at only 179 cm.

    He had incredible ball control, he practised as much as a young Bradman i was told.

    Best "wet-tracker" i've ever seen ! Mind you, my eyes were not opened to his true ability until our famous close-checking CHB Brian "Doc" Roet retired!

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.
