:-D meh.

c'mon doc, if he really wanted to, the boys and Tami could stay up there til HSC is done...or they could support his wishes and give up a little...
I'm saying if he really wanted it...it would probably happen.
All life is change. Tami should understand that.

Upon taking the Swans job, Roos courageously made it clear that his family was number one, a philosophy that extends throughout the club, creating a warm and friendly culture. "We have a policy of embracing the families of the players... I believe that if you're happy in your family life, then you're going to be more productive on the paddock and as a team member." An example of this culture is seeing players' kids in the locker room after a game or a debutant's family being flown interstate to see their son's first game. When talking about priorities, Roos puts family first, then job, "then comes in no particular order, my friends, my quality of life, giving back to the community, travelling and keeping fit."

Like many others, stress is a major stumbling block in today's society, imposing constraints on families. In combating this, Roos' solution is to spend more time with his family-not less-gaining strength from their support and love, putting work problems into perspective. "To be successful at work, sometimes you have to get away from work," Roos writes.

Forget it.
The politics at Carlton would chew this guy up and spit him out.

Yes Doc, the food is exceptionally good.

I'm probably of the opinion that if some of you read this book - you'd want Paul Roos as far away from the Carlton Football Club as possible. I share their philosophy (to a degree) having read the book, but I have serious reservations about Paul Roos as senior coach with the current culture emanating from the club.



It's not his decision to make, but the whole family's...and i think you'd find he'd probably be outvoted 3-1.



I have visions of Roosy and his boys with Gerard Healy in tow going for a surf down at Gunnamatta Back Beach before philosophizing over a bottle of Château Vieux Pourret while his assistants go the 'G to analyse next weeks' opponents. He's far from lazy - he just has a completely different mindset from the likes of Brett Ratten.

I think GWS has a better chance of getting Roos than we have.

D. Pagan had plenty of C-word in him. In fact, he was an almighty "C U Next Tuesday".

Does not mean you can coach tho.

Two AFL premierships plus a heap of GF wins at development level says he could coach. Of course you need more than mongrel. But at our club right now, a nice guy isn't going to win.

Does anyone think Leigh Matthews would still coach? Has he been out too long?

What?? To work in his shop???

The word is he supported Carlton as a kid
