"He helps creates high-performance environments driven by strong leadership through empowerment. The absolute key is that coaches don't take the reigns back once things go wrong - it's a player-driven process. That's where real development occurs and onfield leadership emerges.."

That's exactly what Roos has been saying for most of the year and explains why the coaches rarely make changes during the game. It should be up to the players to make the adjustments needed.

    His mettle and sanity has been tested over the 3 years, but what a job he has done.

    To think there were people actually calling for him to hand over the reigns to Goodwin just weeks out from round 1... David King in particular was very vocal about it from memory. What an arrogant piece of work that clown is.

    Many reasons why it would be awesome if we smashed our way into finals this year, this would be one of them... David how is Roos coaching at present?

    So does Barrett, Stevens, Hutchison et al...........tried an experiment couple of years ago, what I typed was quoted verbatim by Barrett as "some Melbourne supporters are very vocal about...........", seen other posters paraphrased as well

    What a great endorsement by one of his former premiership players, beautifully written and with memorable insights into how he went about his craft. We got a Beaty in Roos'y. Lets hope a fair bit rubs off on his MFC players and protege. GO DEE'S!!!!

    Oh no, SWYL. You misunderstood. They just wanted him to be held 'accountable'. :rolleyes:
    I wonder if those same blokes would like to be held accountable for some of the reactionary crap that they bandied around late last year (you know who you are).

    Barrett et al are "reporters" David is an expert... Just ask him. Totally different.

    "The main thing I took from learning these from Roos was a focus on instilling confidence within a group. Under Eade during that period, a lot of us were low on confidence and were afraid of making mistakes but Roos backed his players to lift after making errors. His ability to communicate with someone on a human level was vital. As young men trying to find their way in the footy industry - and the world in general - that confidence was really needed. It wasn't about being sprayed on the phone after a turnover, it was about giving more and making amends."

    Supporters here would do well to reflect on those sentiments next time they shoot down any player for a mistake. After the bounce in the game day thread today, take a deep breath when a player makes an error, and rather than post some negative while muttering that the player is a "spud" and should "never play for Melbourne again", look at the larger picture.

    And look in the coaches' box today and ask who you'd rather have ... the relative calmness of Roos or the theatrics of, say, Eade or a Scott.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
