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

tackling too, presumably

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 .

throwing the ball is another.....

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'!

Wow. Wow. Wow. You can't be serious......can you?!

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
