Paul Roos preseason update

Featured Replies

 

He is honest and no BS.

The starting 22 will be fit and the best available.

No positions will be given on past history.

He always talks down 1st year players too, which i like, so there are no unrealistic expectations.

 

He had the Norm Smith Picture in the corner of the room.Not hung on the wall.

I wonder if there is any significance to that.

I am really glad that we didn't find a 'successor' just yet.

Having Roosy as the main man running the show for 2014 will benefit us a lot more.

Leaving that space free to hang up his photo as the latest premiership coach of the MFC.

I liked the bit (paraphrasing): " they are good athletes,when they're running, their biggest deficiency is their game style running that we have to get up to speed".

Implies a fit team that didn't know how to play, which about equals what I have seen game day.

Exactly - LIKE again.

When Roos talks I believe it, what Neeld spoke I didn't.


Uh oh.... he's got a swans coloured coffee 'keep cup' on the whiteboard ledge. Not good. ;)

Notably absent is the "Keep Calm and Carry On" sign in the background. Neeldy obviously took that with him.

Seems strangely amusing in retrospect. I guess they had run out of "It is what it is", "Didn't see that coming" and "All aboard the reality bus".

No, that was probably torn up in a fit of rage

Not so sure, hardtack. Rage involves emotion; not sure the previous incumbent actually had much of that.

Neeld needed the Keep Calm and Carry On sign to remind him of what he seemed unable to do.

The rooster doesn't need it - he just does it.


I love Paul Roos.

Still can't believe he's our coach.

I also love whisky.

Laphroaig.

I agree. I still get happy chills when I see Roos in the red and blue.

Laphroaig is a bloody great whisky.

I also love whisky.

Laphroaig.

Not a bg fan of Leapfrog its a bit smokey for my taste. Try Pussers Navy Rum for somethung different its a taste sensation

Exactly what we are seeing at training, getting them used to the game style running

Won't be at the last training session unfortunately, have done a fetlock....trying too hard when you are old....

  • 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.

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
