I love it everytime and whats even better is that it annoys other supporters aswell!

He's also picking the Dees this friday night as he has an emotional attachment still.

    completely agree dazzle.

    they saved a club whose meaning goes beyond words.

    a club that permeates our very essence.

    Likes the smell of his own farts a bit does, Roosy.

    But he's completely entitled and justified to be doing that.

    If we win the flag this year I'd like to see roosy present it given the work he's put in to get us there. 

    Realistically though how good would it be to

    see the rev with the cup?

    It would be a bold move for it to be anyone other than Barassi, but Roos would deserve it.

    He was the architect,  Goodwin is the builder.

    Both those men are incredibly invested in this playing group.

    "...Friday night will be like Roos watching his sons, Dylan and Tyler, playing against each other...When you go to any footy club you make emotional attachments,” Roos said. ... Now I’m very attached to Melbourne. The lack of success is part of it and I’m sympathetic to their plight. It’s exciting for Melbourne, they’ve been kicked for so long. I’m happy for Jack Watts and Nathan Jones and Max Gawn. I’m going for the Demons.” 

    I think he bleeds red and blue!:roos::wub:

    The reason farts smell is so that deaf people don't miss out.   Word.

    Somewhere i read he'd be Roo'ting for us. His bias is understandable. I'm biased :)

    Just business.
    If we won the flag Eddie would would offer him 3million a season.
    And Roosy knows it.

    Roosy on triple me yesterday said he was invited to a Melbourne function and spoke highly of Goody, peter Jackson and Glen Bartlett. He loves the Dee"s and will be red and blue for life, has helped our club and i for one can't thank him enough.

    I hated it with Sydney and I hate it with Melbourne.

    I've basically accepted that they're all pretty bloody biased. I'm just glad someone's biased FOR us. It's a nice change.

    Spot on. I don't understand the under current of anti Roos sentiment coming through some posts on here. 

    Without Roos, P. The MFC would be a piece of rotting carcas by now....

    I guess the only answer is to win three premiership cups then...

    Historically speaking, every time the Doggies have won a flag the MFC has won the next three.

    Love Roos. But I'd guess the emotional attachment is overshadowed by the professional attachment. His legacy and all that. He and Jackson are the architects, and credit will be due, but it's only human to desire that you're contribution won't be forgotten.

  • Quote

    If Roosy bleeds red and blue now, good on him.

    He took on a basket case and got us ready to be a contender, so I can only be forever grateful. 

    Plus I've a couple of Swans supporting mates who'll hate to hear he's ours now... :)

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
