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

    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 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'!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
