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?

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.

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.

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.

both really.. I dont think Roos has a particularly high regards for Evans ( but then who does )

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
