#79 - Paul Roos Back Pocket Banter

We have another huge guest in the world of AFL. Paul Roos played 356 games for Fitzroy and Sydney. He was a star key defender earning him 7x All-Australian selections (including as captain), 5x Best & Fairests, a premiership coach and is in the AFL Hall of Fame. An incredibly successful career and undoubtedly one of the greats to be involved with the game.



We chatted to Paul about dominating basketball as a youngster, what it feels like to go into the Brownlow Medal count as the favourite, representing the big V, and his memories of coaching Sydney to a drought-breaking flag including the moment "Leo Barry you star". And his business @performancebydesign



We also find out how his son brought him back to coaching at Dees after retirement. Whether it's captaincy, kicking a bag of 7 goals early in his career or getting publicly sprayed by an AFL CEO, this chat had it all.



Roosy was one of the pioneers at trying to introduce and spread Aussie Rules football to America, while speaking about the journey of guys like Mason Cox. Thanks heaps to Roosy for coming on. 🙏
