That wraps up today's media conference. Videos and stories to come. http://melbournefc.com.au
-
Roos says White is a really good listener, a defender with a nice left foot kick who's been developing well at Casey.
-
Roos: Mitch White debuting is a good news story, he's a rebounding defender.
-
Roos: I think (Col Garland's contract) is progressing along well.
-
Roos says removing the sub rule does open up the opportunities for rucks in regards to a second ruck position.
-
Roos on 90 interchanges: If you're out there on the ground longer, young players start to fatigue earlier than more experienced ones.
-
Roos: While I think a 17 game season would be fantastic, the AFL's just signed a new broadcast deal.
-
Roos: I think we're seeing a game that's a long game and a season that's really long...
-
Roos says he understands why Adelaide, for example, could be upset but North Melbourne have the right to decide what they do with their team
-
Roos says Scott (NM) and Lyon (Freo) have an obligation to their club and fans to decide what's right for their own club.
-
Roos: There's clearly two different schools of thought (in regards to resting players)
-
Roos: We're like the fans - we fall in and out of love with players throughout the season - but you've got to wait until the end of the year
-
Roos says aside from Simon Goodwin and Brendan McCartney, everyone's had two years to look at the list.
-
Roos: Jeremy (Howe) is like a lot of players, they weigh up opportunities and come back to the club (to discuss them)
-
Roos: Out of respect for Crossy, we understood that he needed to know and wanted to know (where he stood before the end of the season).
-
Roos: You'd prefer players to play well at the end of their career rather than play poorly - I don't mind that he's playing good footy.
-
Roos: It wasn't an easy decision to make - they (Cross) wanted to make the decision before the season finished.
-
Roos on Cross: It was a really difficult decision... As we say, there's no use by date on the back of the jumper.
-
Roos: from a coaching point of view - we want to finish off the year playing the style of footy we want to take into the future.
-
MEDIA: Paul Roos will now speak to the media. Tweets to follow.
