Paul Roos on AFL360 every Monday

[Gorgoroth 12,926]

So every Monday on AFL360 they have two club coaches/administrators.

Bomber Thompson stays on with Roos joining him every week replacing Eade.

Can't wait!

[wattsup 470]

On right now

[P-man 13,366]

Awesome news as a supporter. Lifts the profile of the club that little bit more and get extra insights every week.

[Whispering_Jack 29,838]

That unknown and unnamed sponsor needs to sign up soon if they want weekly national exposure on Fox Footy.

[Gorgoroth 12,926]

Good point WJ.

Every week on a big football show would appeal. No matter what happens over the weekend, good or bad, their name is sitting there Monday evening.

[Ted Lasso 19,410]

I used to hate listening to Roosy, he was just to bais towards the swans, it's amazing how things change when he is on side.

[Carrot Top 947]

He drove me nuts with his constant: 'Sydney, Sydney, Sydney, O rose smelling poo Sydney that can do no wrong' cheerleading.

I will probably have a different opinion of his cheerleading style these days.

[mjt 640]

Money can't buy that exposure .

[ILLDieADemon 804]

And I just canceled Foxtel. :'(

[DemonOX 8,791]

Noticed that under Paul Roos name it had " 2005 Premiership Coach Sydney Swans".

What I would like to c is "201? Premiership Coach Melbourne Demons".

Dare to dream!

More positive exposure for our football club. For too long now there has been a lopsided negative approach to reporting surrounding us, granted a lot has been of our own making, however it is increadably refreshing to hear nothing but positive news! Loving the new Melbourne FC and hopefully the media has nothing but positives to report on as the season gets underway.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

We should get great insight into Sydney now.

[KingDingAling 3,752]

Roos on 360, hopefully Vince on the footy show.

Winning games.

Hopefully the next generation jump aboard, we need members.

[DeeSpencer 25,524]

Fine I'll say it.

Do not like this.

Throughout the period we were chasing Roos he said time and time again how busy and stressful an AFL coaching job is. Now he signs on and he's got extra time to do media work every week?

Yes we need to be in the public eye for exposure but we have to win games. That means a coach who isn't burnt out and who isn't having to get involved with too much media. Luckily Robbo is a complete light weight so won't ask too much tough questions and Gerard is pretty respectful to his guests. Also lucky Bomber is staying on (for now) so mainly they can both talk about their glory days and deflect from their teams. But overall I still dislike it.

[Steve13 457]

Can't wait for the day we win the flag and people on here can only find the negatives in it. Bunch of miserable comudgeins

[Steve13 457]

Apologies to fellow positive supporters and contributors, I am simply frustrated that after 7 extremely tough years some still find it necessary to criticise almost every thing.

This will take up literally the time it takes to do the slot on the Monday night show. You can tell that Rocket, Bomber etc did no preparation whatsoever so I doubt Roos will be any different. The impact this will have on his coaching is all but zero. The potential gains however are obvious.

Major overreaction but you're entitled to your opinion. I see it as only having a positive impact.

Because Roos would otherwise be working at the club 8pm on a Monday night, after starting at 7am all season? Just how hard do you expect the man to work? Should he be running handball drills until the very prints wear off his fingers? Maybe you can start timing how much the man sleeps and inform the club how better to delegate the time spent by their multi-million dollar investment?

Give me a break. He'd be doing this in the very limited free time he has, as a representative of the MFC, and with the MFC's full blessing. The exposure he brings to the club is invaluable here, and is a huge part of the reason we signed him up -- he has a strong media profile with Fox viewers.

And I thought the idiotic complaints about his pre-booked African holiday were bad. Sheesh!

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

I am very happy to have Roos on the show. I record nearly all the monday night shows and would only hear a whisper about Melbourne when some sort of disaster was happening. Now to have Roos on maybe a bloke like Nathan Jones gets a little exposure and the respect he deserves from the football world.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

This is all good.

Lighten up, 30 minutes at 8:00 on Monday night will hardly impinge on his ability to coach us.

Perhaps we can stick him in a ziplock bag when not physically coaching just to keep him fresh.

I look forward to his insights.

It's a harmless gig.

[DEE fence 5,004]

Positive, last few years we got trashed in the media, now everyone will want us to be the feel good story, I have no problem with that, had enough of getting kicked on the ground. Also i reckon this will bring in memberships and as WJ pointed out, sponsors.

You're barking up the wrong tree 'master'. The club needs all the positive stories it can get; the last few years the only way we have hit the news is for bad news and more bad news.

I won't be surprised if we still get a lot of references to Sydney from him as they seemed to be Roos benchmark. I have no problem with that at all as I have always admired what he achieved with the Swans.
