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.

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

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
