we are Melbourne, we are a team, play like a team

Damn, man. That is some SERIOUS ball movement. If we can get even close to that, it won't matter who's in our forward line. We'll carve 'em up every week.

I just love the way Roos is emphasising time and time again the importance of the TEAM - and by far the best TEAM effort that I can recall (not just from MFC) is that clearance from deep defence in the dying minutes of Sunday's game. Nothing flash - just trust, desperation, trust, desperation and desire.

Beautifully done guys TEAM.

And all without pharmacological assistance :-)

Gotta say this is about bringing out the best of people.

Compared with the best that can be achieved with pushing/breaking the drug boundaries, or even altitude training!

This is what team sport should be about.

The things I here when I hear people (and most importantly his players) talk about coach Pop are:

1. He loves them as people despite his gruff exterior

2. He doesn't care about reputations and is willing to give a spray to his best players

3. They respect him

4. They respect each other, there aren't any egos

5. He's willing to recruit from everywhere and has benefitted from unusual recruiting of international players

I'm not sure Roos will ever be described as coaching the beautiful game but what he does in developing a team culture is very similar to Pop.

One page, one team. Work until you make it happen. Remember Dawes chewing out Salem (IIRC) for not taking the best team option even though he scored a goal, and Salem agreeing when interviewed post match? It's that kind of ethos and commitment that gives rise to possession chains like the last against Essendon.

I used to play footy and still play Basketball, it's at times a struggle to choose a fave sport.

But one thing has always ran true in both sports and it is mentioned in this video:

"You can't outrun the basketball".

This goes back to the old mantra that quick ball movement beats quick players.
