    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.

    Don't you just love being corrected on a mythical creature.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
