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!

    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.

    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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
