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.

    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 !!

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • 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.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
