It's all about kicking, there's too much [censored] kicking in the AFL these days- kicking a footy properly is something you learn growing up with the game, I have and I can kick a footy quite well. Pyke is a great competitor, ruckman, mark, but can't kick. Having a 200cm foreign ex-basketball is beneficial if you want someone who will run all day, take an exciting mark, leap beyond belief, miss tackles, average 5 handballs a game and maybe a lucky grubber goal from the square. Irishmen are better because they have that natural run and kick in their game (but of course don't tackle)

Paul Roos reckons that basketballers have the most skills relevant to Australian Rules than any other sport. Kicking excepted.

Paul Roos had some late success in his career after years of overseeing dismal failure.

He does not possess the intellectual fitness to hand wash my leggings after a humid day.

The Sydney "culture " theme is a croc.

Bootlicking ,footy fashionistas will say he has "smarts" or some such .

He has a work ethic-or had it .

The trick about success is that ALL OF IT COMES FROM WORKING .

People can only give it for a certain period .

His is over.

He is just a dumbo who fluked a flag .

History is filled with them .

Dont glorify it .

He can bite me until he retracts his assertions .

I heard on sen a few days ago, Finey accredit Roos as being the creator of the bloods culture? What the....... Im pretty sure the bloods culture has been at the swans since they where south Melbourne?...... Roos merely tapped into it..... Which gave him a little success...... If he was at north, they'd be claiming he created the shinbone sprite....

If Roos was as great as the media make out, than Fitzroy would have won some premierships and still be playing in the AFL..... Roos can sit on a fat one!!

I thought Sean Wight was from Scotland.

He may have been born in Scotland but he was playing for Kerry when we recruited him as the first player in 'the Irish experiment'!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
