Paul Roos - he is now our King

Apologies - I know there's a Paul Roos for coach thread already, but, having just watched OTC tonight, and having observed the slander directed towards him by Richard Colless and others at the Swans tonight, I felt angry.

Paul Roos is our man now. He's no longer our potential coach. He's now our leader.

Get behind him.

I love the man.

    So do I. I have genuine belief now and we have genuine credibility.

    Of course, but the theatre of the off season also can also have bearing on a club, or at the minimum its supporters. I know that I feel some hope again after feeling dead inside all last season. That's worth more than I can put into words.

    Heh. You love a man.

    Yep, time to get behind him. Can't think of him anymore as the personification of the Swans. In Roos we trust.

    Btw Ron, am I wrong in recalling you making similar posts/threads about Neeld? :)

    I think your love is much better directed this time.

    I am the same. Any other coaching appointment would have completely deflated me (if I could have been any further deflated after this season).

    I liked the steel in the rooster's eyes when he talked of moving on.

    Roos should stay with us then, as the Swans like every other team are our enemy that must be crushed at nearly all costs.

    Unlike Messendon the MFC says NO to Drugs.

    To the DH in SWANS, slander our King as much as you like, we just love him more and you just look like a bunch of LOSERS!

    C'MON THE DEES!

    Yep ... let's shed that nice guy image and start stepping on a few toes.

    We should become the Ryan Crowleys of the competition both on and off the field.

    I particularly like that sort of attitude on the field, especially during the coming period in which our players with talent are developing. If we play with that persistent in your face attitude week in, week out, then the 15 goal floggings become a thing of the past and we start winning games we were never expected to win.

    If a large percentage of our game is played in the head, we've been headless for the past seven years.

    Now we can start again.

    Football is business, and Roos has committed to his role burning past bridges to ensure his future success.

    Change is a powerful thing, and this club is showing clear signs of change.

    Exciting times ahead under the direction of Roos.

    Perhaps if we are on the front foot off the field the players will feel like the jumper is worth playing for.

    Colless and the Swans have a terrible culture problem up there .

    the Swans are on the slide ,CLEARLY.

    Almost feel sorry for them.

    You're right P Man. I'm a bit embarrassed about that. Took me a while to figure that bloke out. Too long in fact.

    I think I'm on the money this time though, even if I initiated this thread after far too many birthday drinks ( ... scotch by the way).

    The club/Roos are being proactive in recreating this place ( MFC) as a destination of interest for the upcoming silly seasoned circus.

    Good work !!

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
