Insight into the Thoughts of a Multiple Premiership Winning Coach

Commissioner Dreyfus
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I recently decided to join up on this site given that over the years  I have often visited this forum to read, learn and mostly enjoy the contributions and views of passionate MFC supporters. I thank you all.

I would like to make a positive contributions to this site and therefore to start with would like to share an interview that was recently recorded with a current multiple premiership winning coach. Whist this interview may  not be directly related to AFL football, I believe nonetheless offers tremendous insight into the thoughts, views and philosophies ( including player recruitment) of the  very successful NRL coach of the Sydney Roosters in  Trent Robinson.

A number of you may be immediately put off by the fact this interview is conducted by Mark Bouris and with a coach from a different code. Fair enough. Im not here to judge. However, if you are willing to get push past this, I believe you may just enjoy many of the insights into coaching, leadership and recruitment that is offered. For Storm fans, please feel free to delete.

For those of you who decide to click on the link, I hope you enjoy the interview.

    Is Mark Bouris a similiar situation to Slobbo?

    I thought his face seemed familiar, then he said he had an older brother, Dean.
