Roosy says "It's a good time to be a Dees supporter"

Clearly nobody passed the news on to SWYL.  Poor fellow.

I like that Roosy identifies as a Melbourne supporter still. I heard him say it to Iron Mike and he still says it.

I assume when his 'boys' pass through the club, he will go back to being a Swan and I wouldn't begrudge him that.

I'm 100% behind Roos - think he is on the money. I would love to see us spending more money in the areas of injury prevention and management. However, you cant spend what you dont have -so our big danger would be a horror run of injuries. I look forward to us growing our memberships and average crowds then things will change - then we are less in the hands of injuries.

Good man Roosy, fly the flag.

Paul Roos help to build a strong foundation for us to be successful in the near future and for that l forever thank him. Hope your a Demon supporter for life.

King Roosy to be on commentary when we win the flag.

He's a horrendous commentator.

Who cares? So was Barassi. But I'd listen to them, both, any day ahead of what we get in the media today.

I'm not picky when it comes to commentators, i'm more focused on the game and the commentary is background noise.

You won't need to listen to him as you will be at the game.

I hate to break it to you but I'll be at the game too (without my equipment). Although I could stream live from my phone but I'd be too nervous. Perhaps I'll do the last quarter when we're 48 points up at 3/4 quarter time. Oops we've blown lead like that in the past.

Yep. There’s hardly any commentators left. Most of them have turned into “Special Comments” and it’s terrible listening.

Adam Papalia and Brenton Speed seem a tad refreshing, those two actually call the game.

Our version of press red for Ed = press green for grapeviney

When she was 5, my niece 'wrote a book' about going to the football with me. 

The only thing I say in the book is "Oh no, oh no, oh no" over and over again on every page, which is pretty much what you'd get if I was calling the game.

I'd be out of breath from pacing back and forth. Being a Melbourne fan is not good for the ticker despite the added exercise from the pacing. 

Can't we just destroy teams every week so I can enjoy the game. Is that too much to ask.

That would make awesome podcasts - so Im happy to support you on that request.

No expletives? No complaining at umpiring decision? No justification for Demons players getting all the votes 3,2,1 win, loss ( which obviously we will never have to consider) or draw? Maybe when the opposition do get a touch we have our own catch cry  "Oh no, oh no, oh no"

Yeah - if my son had to write a book about our time at the footy, it would probably be called “Oh, that’s bull$h!t!!”

[hemingway 7,615]

Paul (and all those other scribes), please don't talk us up.

Broken expectations have almost killed me over recent seasons.

If we make finals fine, anything short of that, forget it.

Mine would be called "F*&K my life - the story of a Melbourne supporter"
