Roos is indeed highly impressive.

    Very interesting.

    But when are those so-called media professionals who run these pressers, and especially the post-game pressers, going to make the questions that are asked audible?

    Spot on Roosy.....free agency will make the competition less uneven! Makes a good point only 2 players didn't end up @ their club of choice pre free trade commencing!

    If ant broke don't fix it!

    How good is it to have a respectable voice on all matters AFL just so happen to be a part of our club? Roos brings us relevance in a time when we probably don't deserve as much. He also is willing to have a crack at anyone. I wish I could intelligently tell people they are tossers like he does.

    He really owns these types of pressers.

    Made very sensible comments on Clark and pumped up his value.

    Was blunt about the problems in free agency - about as blunt as he could possibly be.

    Was clear about wanting people who want to commit to the club and be part of what he wants to do and essentially couldn't care less about Chip.

    Really, really good presser.

    If only he didn't wanna leave us in 2 years!

    he will stay involved

    One point that came across to me is that a three way trade between ourselves,Geelong and C'wood is very much on the cards. We get Lumumba, Geelong get Clark and Geelong gives up a player or pick to C'wood.

    Agree 100 percent - the media conference are obviously not run by professionals. Professional media would always require the questioner to have a microphone.

    Another bit of sloppy work by AFL.

    He only wants blokes who know the real meaning of commitment.

    Hope we end up with players like Jack at the Swans, ready to die for the cause.

    Viney , Salem, Cross, Tyson etc.

    He'll get them.

    Things looking up.

    Was happy to hear he wouldn't give up Picks 2 & 3 for a big fish.

    Interesting he mentioned Toump as one of the young talents on the list. A show of faith perhaps.

    I did notice that, but also that he was mentioned last and almost as an afterthought after guys like JKH, who are obviously ahead of him in Roos's mind.

    Didn't think it were possible for Roo's to go up in my books, however he just did.

    Love his swipes at the League.

    I thought it was more of a swipe at the AFLPA, BB. I think he'll be safe from the wrath of AFL House in any case.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
