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

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Roos last night at the AFL draft, I just wished him all the luck and said I am a die hard fan and happy to have him and PJ on board, Paul reckons "we'll impress some people next year" said with his iconic smile. I was giddy like a school girl haha!

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.

Is that Saty in the last photo, on the right in the yellow tshirt?

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

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.

Interesting Roosy mentions he does meditation.

Good on him, no wonder he seems so relaxed.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
