Paul Roos on AFL360

Featured Replies

Agree, Robbie. It's just not gonna happen though, unless we absolutely play out of our skins on Sunday.

It is going to happen.....

You drunk Wyl, not like you to be this positive, not that I'm complaining

Haha, I hope you're right, mate. Very, very happy to be proved wrong.

 

Things can turn around very quickly in footy, but this is the mfc we're talking about.

No, this is the AFL dressed in Red & Blue your seeing.


Just said he took the entire list to watch today's game to see where they need to get to.

I bet there were a few who wondered what game was being played...

Best news i have heard in years...

Their old mate Jared put in....see what happens....

I'm amazed the players don't otherwise take themselves to the game.

If you're a forklift driver do you go and watch other forklift drivers move pallets on your day off? In saying that..I know what you're saying...

that is actually a smart idea. Its the 2 teams that are top of the ladder and where we have to get to. Hopefully they saw teammates back each other up, man up tackle and put a lot of pressure on.

Would have been a great 360 with 2 losing coaches on. I suspect Bomber would have been more disappointed than Roos.

Some do, some don't. Some don't like watching other sides, some for superstitious reasons, some just don't like it.

Regardless, the real value in this is not simply that the players saw a good game - they can do that at any time really. It's the act of Roos bringing the team together and demanding that, at once, straight after a loss, they be subjected to, and be asked to critically learn from, the high watermark of the game right now. It will do a lot more from them when it's required of them by Roos and they do it as a group.

You do if you're want to become the best forklift driver in the business.

Or if you keep dropping the pallets, running into the shelving or falling out the seat.

I wonder if that's Jordan Gysberts of Cale Morton driving?

But if your as bad a fork lift driver as Melbourne is at playing football then maybe you should take a few lessons from the best

If you're the type of player that doesn't like watching other teams for "superstitious reasons", you can right well F off!

How the hell are you supposed to scout your opponent and truly understand how a team plays if you're only going to watch, say, a few minutes before you play them?

Its Cale. I can tell by how quickly he moved to avoid any impact.

I was thinking myself watching the Cats v Hawks that I hoped every MFC player watched it all.....and hopefully Roos will sit them all down together at one of their "planning sessions" or whatever they do behind closed doors when not actually doing physical stuff, and go through parts of the game demanding that they understand and commit to what is required for success. It was an uncompromising game, exciting for the most part (other than that bloody kicking backwards in keepings-off ) and if our guys are committed to improving their own and the team's performances they could do well to emulate what they saw.

Here's hoping though realistically not really expecting

 

so im assuming he is on tonight? I presume the first question will be about Watts and even Howe and what else he said. Any reports would be great.

Said unfair to focus just on watts......have been trying him in a lot of positions as they have been trying a lot of people in different positions & they might have to look at themselves (coaches) they might be doing the wrong thing. Bomber also reiterated that he gives players lots of chances

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
