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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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....

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
