Was reading this article in regards to Tyson and pick 2 when this caught my eye..

Roos also hopes to improve his footballers as human beings, one of the reasons the entire list will take part in Monday's Walk Against Family Violence from Federation Square.

"It is something I have been involved in through a family friend and I am really proud to be part of it and to get the word. There is no question our footballers are in more of a bubble and can be shielded, so it is important to expose them to these kind of causes to get them some education."

What a man this bloke is. you could walk into his office with open arms and talk just about anything whether its family or personal issues.

Well done Roosy

    Bravo Toady. Finally something truly witty. Took you a while. Forgot the apostrophe in "Melbourne's", though, but that's a matter for another thread.

    Yeah I was happy when I read that about all the players doing the walk. He is right. These players live in a bubble and its good to do something for a very good cause. They may learn something as well.

    Not unless he has given his beard a massive trim and lost a bit off the top.

    Interesting Roosy mentions he does meditation.

    Good on him, no wonder he seems so relaxed.

  • Quote

    He's long been an advocate of the benefit of meditation.

    I imagine he has encouraged at least some of the playing group to explore the benefits for themselves.

    It's not just that, it's the way he answers questions in the best possible way.

    Clarkson will look at you sideways and try to 'figure you out' - hell, we all do that - but Roos just seems to take every question at face value and not be offended by the implicity of any question. And there were a few of those questions when he was thinking of being coach of this club, and certainly when he took over.

    He might have to meditate a bit more next year given that he's the coach of the circus known as the Melbourne footy club.

    So must Neeld have been given 95% of the time our players ran out and played like they were in a different place.

    • 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.
