Where's the False Idol Club option?Paul Roos is recognised as a legend at all three clubs he's been associated with, both as a player and as a coach.
Which club do you associate Paul Roos with the most? For me it's Sydney.
Roos played in a GF for Sydney though.Clearly Fitzroy...coaching jobs are just that....a job! Although in the case of Kevin Sheedy he might as well never played for Richmond.
Hardly remember him as a Swans player, he was Fitzroy's best player for many years. 269 games, to me, he is much more of a Fitzroy Lion!'Roos played in a GF for Sydney though.
What about the bloods culture and no dickhead policy he instilled at Sydney?I associate him with Fitzroy far more than Sydney.
Played 269 games (including 6 finals) over 13 years and 87 at Sydney over 4 years.
Captain 1988–1990, 1992–1994 for 122 games
Five Best and Fairests at Fitzroy
Leading goalkicker once. 270 goals.
98 Brownlow votes with Fitzroy and 23 with Sydney
5 x All Australian at Fitzroy, 2 at Sydney
Fitzroy Team of the Century
What about it?What about the bloods culture and no dickhead policy he instilled at Sydney?
Not to mention being responsible for Sydney breaking their 72 premiership drought, the longest in V/AFL history?

Nah, I rarely agree with the poster you're replying to but Melbourne were an absolute basket case when Roos took over. We had major issues all through the club at every level. He pretty much rebuilt the club from the ground up and set the correct standards
Interesting.
So Peter Jackson was just sitting around twiddling his thumbs whilst the head coach magically rebuilt the club? Or did the AFL just out the best football administrator in the game in there for a laugh?
I've never heard of a head coach being involved like that.
Meanwhile, they they were still copping epic wallopings on-field? Wasn't it like 110 points in his last game or something?
And even after he left, they continued to get wallopped.
I wonder if Petracca, Viney, Jackson, Gawn, Oliver, Lever, May, Fritsch and all the gun players they picked up may have had something to do with their eventual success 5 years after he coached his last game?
Biggest myth in world sport.
