    From memory

    past no longer an issue but it was an issue last year

    asked about having the youngest list, was it by design. Said no in his roosey way. Basically said the younger guys are earning their spots over older lads

    says he doesn't do heaps of the technical side of coaching. Praised his assistants no end. Said he works with the leaders and makes sure mindset is correct, tries to drag each player out and chat

    has a house in Hawaii that he can rent out at a reasonable rate :roos:

    fantastic interview. Whilst he spoke I reflected on where we were and where we are now, we have a lot to thank Paul Roos for. We were below a laughing stock, we were irrelevant. Three years on we are exciting and the talk is all about future rather than past. Cheers Roosy

    Yeah I didn't mind this interview, seemed freer, like a bourden had been lifted. 

    Was asked if he was offended about Goodwin getting the credit for how we're playing. He said paraphrasing "not at all, if anyone should be offended it's the other assistants who have all been fantastic at their jobs, if you knew how a footy club was run you'd know how much they all contribute." Cop that David King. 

    Addressed the veil of negativity around the supporters comment he made last year, says he understands the criticism he copped, doesn't care, he said it and they had to address and deal with it last year. All that sort of stuff (player negativity) is not mentioned now. No need, it's new players now. 

     

    Not talking finals, they all know where we're at. 

    But he seemed to me a lot more comfortable, proud maybe.

    Welcome (a bit belatedly), DP. Your views about, and hopes for, our 'main (coach) man' are well shared here, I reckon.

    But I'm just trying to work out if you have any 'main (player) men' ideas? (or are you just a Russian oligarch - and, if so, please put some no-strings-attached $$$ into our club, or at least into Demonland)

    It was good to see him back on 360, I miss his usual spot but having said that it makes these times he's on a bit more involved. It really seems like he feels he's achieve at least a part of what he's set out to do. He's built a professional foundation and team, and is confident he's leaving the club in good hands with team Goodwin.

    I sense a lot of love for Jack Viney from him as well!

    Nope,  it's just that if he felt any other way, Jack would belt the cr@p out of him

    bottom line is that we are 68 points per week a better side than when Neeld finished. That's in 2 seasons plus 7 rounds. That is seriously impressive

    I don't know your calculations for that figure, but I believe you 100% from what I'm seeing week to week. When you put it like that it's pretty clear how important the dude has been for us.

    I'm not sure who's responsible for the hiring of Plapp at Casey, but he's also seriously impressed me from the little I've seen/heard of him. Listening last week via Casey radio, he gave the team a quite deliberate kick in the pants for a 3rd quarter effort he didn't like, despite the team being up a squillion points to nothing. He was measured, calm, deliberate but very effective. I doubt any player left the huddle thinking a cruisy last quarter was an option. It was very Roosy TBH. It wouldn't surprise me if he ended up on the MFC coaching panel in the near future.

    Not sure I know how to quote your post on the thread relating to Goodwin's possible replacement but your last statement may have hit the nail on the head. This is not a question of promoting him into Goodwin's current role over McCartney either as he is also playing a fantastic role and should be rewarded for it.

    They both deserve a pay rise however, assuming Goodwin may be on slightly less than Roos, I am sure that we accommodate it (plus have a little over to ensure we retain a mentoring or development academy role for Roos).

    Not on D'land. He clearly hasn't read the Hogan thread.

    How friggin' good has this guy been for our club! 

    Especially liked the discussion about the negativity of the past no longer being an issue and it's not brought up at all anymore. Great to watch some of the footage of the players in the huddle at games, seeing Oliver, Brayshaw, Gawn, Viney etc so intense and driven to improve. Success is not an optional outcome for these young guys, they want it now.

    Roosy's legacy will go to another level by the time he leaves us.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
