Will be great to hear what he has to say, for about 10 seconds, then for some reason my brain starts to tune him out.

On an different note, has anyone else noticed that he does the saliva sucking through his cheeks thing a lot.  If you do not know what i mean, listen to him him talk and hopefully it will explain itself as i cannot do any better than that!

And you reckon you tune him out!

He's actually breathing in mate with pursed lips and a 4mm gap centrally.  Also he nods his head when he listens.  Also his muscles of mastication contract intermittently during listening.

 

 

While you guys were waiting for Schwabby's whiteboard Wednesday, I was watching a Roos presser.

 

 

If you are going to do forensics, give us the cake as well as the icing.

Hadn't noticed that one, then again, haven't really listened to him......at all.

I want to rename my first born Paul Roos even though she is a girl. That's how much I love Roos.

But even his appearance on the footy show could not get me to watch it.

If anything it would be even harder for me to watch, I'd feel embarrassed for Roos. He's always a professional and Newman will be doing his best to bring down the club and insult him. The audience will laugh and find it funny because they're idiots. 

Pauline Roos?

Bring on the old footy show curse.

Bec Maddern will ask sensible questions.
Brayshaw will probably link in the North game.
Newman won't offer much.

Anyway, always good to have the club get some publicity. 

Not sure why a TV or radio network hasn't signed up Max Gawn to a regular gig yet. Possibly the funniest bloke in footy and gives good opinions on the game as well.

Gawny is indeed hilarious, have also wondered why he doesn't get a gig on any footy show, well maybe for the fact he's still playing.

Matter of time I would've thought. You could tell how much the journos enjoy talking to him in his latest presser. Some people are just naturally funny and Max is one of those.

It's a waste of time listening to Roos.

But if you're keen count how many sentences he starts with, "Yeah, ..."

Brendon Bolton, Luke Beveridge, Ross Lyon and Kenny Hinkley are all good to listen to, but I don't believe a word that comes out of their mouth. Occasionally Rocket Eade is good to hear from. Bucks speaks super well. Chris Scott has a good sense of humour.

Al Clarkson is really the only coach who I try to pay attention to, as he's the best coach in the league by the length of the Flemington straight, but even then he's very good at not answering the questions and telling people what they expect to hear. 

I'm not sure there's a coach of a losing side who's truthful and engaging and not just because they are either fighting with the media or telling jokes. Rightly or wrongly coaches can't say anything critical of the players, assistant coaches, other staff or even fans without copping it these days. And if they blame themselves then that's a problem as well. So all we get is not stop talk of structures and process.

Damian Barrett. That's the bloke's name Paul. Why is he always having a go at Demons?

Couldn't care less if people have never rated his discussions over the last few years.  He has kept it simple, general and boring... and thus he has kept the heat off the players and the club, something a new coach wouldn't have been able to do.  That gets a big tick in my book.

The media as a whole suddenly seems to love the Demons. Dees players seem to be featured on tv and in the paper rather frequently, generally in a positive light.

The fact that Gawn is actually funny precludes him from working on TV and Radio.

I've noticed his interviews have got a little more serious of late,although the larrikin is still there.i,m sure ready to be unleashed.whenever.

I recall from somewhere he was asked to tone it down.

I'm 188cm,and stood next to him at Casey,huge,fit looking bloke-- I like the way he always has his

mouth open when going for taps.Big beard with a hole in it.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
