    Sure, this is a short clip made specifically for our consumption, but if it typifies Roosy's normal modus operandi, then it's easy to see why he's held in such high regard as a people manager and player developer. I loved the constant encouragement of the players, the positive reinforcement for things well done, and the clear instructions set in context of what was unfolding on the field or what had happened moments earlier. And he did it from the field of play, not from outside the boundary while sucking on a coffee. Time will tell, but to me it's hard not to see the players thriving in this environment.

    Yeah i know

    I like the muppet in a self deprecating kinda way.

    Bleasy, Byrnesy, Maxy, Matty, Kenty, Georgy, Wattsy. Classic Roosy.

    By the way he's mentioned 3 times in the first 20 seconds I do get the feeling Blease is a massive pet project of Roos. If he can fix Blease he can coach just about anyone.

    I think that image is actually a Gawndog about to eat a strumpet.

    Would be interesting to see one of Mark Neeld to contrast the two different attitudes

    You're mistaken my friend, Neeld didn't run the trainings, he was to important, he just did the main show whilst Craig was the matinee show

    wonder just how much negative things actually go on, ie how much editing do they have to do

    Is it just me or do those dees caps Roos is wearing make it look like they have two caps on?

    I loved the clip. Looking forward to the sequel.

    I would prefer the sound grab of one of the breaks in the intra club - that was just running commentary of a few good things Roosy saw (and we didn't see).

    I know Neeld was professionally a 'Teacher' but Paul Roo's is actually a "teacher."

    Brilliant stuff.

    That dumb funt neeld was neither a "teacher" nor a "Teacher". The fact that he is in anyway associated with the noble order of pedagogues disturbs me greatly.

    On the other hand, Roos looks to be exactly what a football 'teacher' should be. Hands on, instructive, demonstrating, encouraging, hard when need be and, importantly, with a clear view to the bigger picture.

    PS. A friend of mine taught English to Mark Neeld in what is now VCE. She said he still has essays outstanding from over 20 yrs ago. He was apparently a bit of a smart rrrse. Ironic that he became a school teacher.

    If he is talking to Watts in Part 2 it is really interesting hearing him telling him to run, run, run, up and back. That seems to be the message to the whole team but especially to Watts. If he can do that, watch this space. Love how simple and direct his instructions are.

    No it wouldn't we all know what MN was like hence why he ain't there no more.

    Remember when the cameras were in the rooms?

    A more uninspiring coach i have never seen.

    Nuff said.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
