There is no doubt Paul Roos is an elite coach even compared to any coach in any code in Australia. What he has done with the Dees this season is remarkable. And that's probably an understatement. Roos has shown how much difference a coach can make...or should make to a team.
Port and Freo were also nobodies until a coach came along and inspired a group of players. The players also were suddenly elevated from ordinary players to stars. They became winners very suddenly, and the same is beginning to happen with the Dees. They are going to have a crack this year, don't worry about next season!
Our boys are no longer the inexperienced kids they once were. They now have the games and fitness under their belts. They also were never ordinary players. They were the elite from the beginning, not like the lists the Dees, freo and Port had to work with. Their players were ordinary, the coach made them stars.
Seeing Roos success with the Dees makes me wonder what he could have done with our kids already? I suspect our defence would be substantially better, just for a start.
I cant help but compare what Roos is doing with Melbourne and how our team is progressing. Sure we are at the correct end of the ladder, but could we be even better? With the list we have playing to their potential, like Roos seems to be able to get out of his teams, we should be a lot better, as amazing as it seems.
I was disappointed with our effort against the Crows. We were uninspired towards the end, just when we needed our boys to switch on and arrest momentum. It was a pathetic capitulation to an ordinary team playing ordinary footy. The passion to win was just not there. That extra bit of manic effort was absent when we needed it. That is a coaching thing. A coach needs to inspire his team, challenge them, remind them that you win close games at the end, not at the start or in the middle. I had to wonder what Roos could have done with this group?
We went missing at the end when the pressure was on.
