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!

totally agree dazzledavey36, unshield them, & see the feet back on the ground quick smart. & they may even find some nice support themselves & just a little bit of a reason fro motivations from the adoring people.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
