How should fans interpret the Gold Coast's Darwin form? After North Melbourne and the Lions drew on the weekend, Roosy has a novel ideal to find a winner.
Round 9 was the closest in the AFL era with nail biting finishes almost everywhere, including the first draw of the season. The Giants pulled off another win in Geelong thanks to an impressive seven-goal haul from Jesse Hogan, Paul Roos breaks down his recent success. In Adelaide the Showdown made a strong case for why it deserves a standalone fixture, but Roosy disagrees with Connor Rozee being awarded the Showdown Medal. Speaking of rivalries, who was Roosy's fiercest rival from his Fitzroy playing days?
In this week's BizNews Rugby Show, SuperSport Schools commentator and "rugby encyclopedia" Niels Momberg returns to talk all things rugby with insider Rory Steyn and co-host Patrick Kidd. With Round 17 of the United Rugby Championship kicking off today, the trio dissects the playoff permutations, offers fearless predictions (including a few upsets!), and debates the psychology behind Leinster's recent failures. Momberg goes deep on SA's schoolboy rugby scene, spotlighting prodigies like Paarl Gim's Markus Muller and Grey College's Ethan "Tank" Adams, while also previewing two massive clashes: Paul Roos vs Paarl Gimnasium and Grey College vs Paarl Boys' High. From URC playoff drama to rising stars and flawed scheduling at SA Schools level, this episode is packed with insight, banter, and bold calls you won't want to miss.
Collingwood have left four key players behind for their trip west against the Dockers, can Freo capitalise on this? South Australia will host their Showdown, at 28 wins each and emotions running high who will gain the upper hand? For how many teams is Round 9 a ‘must win'? And who would Roosy and Poppy like to see as captains of WA and Victorian State of Origin teams?
How can the AFL iron out consistency for disciplining players for incidents both on and off the field. Is player behaviour getting worse, why do they need to flip the bird? Do father-son rules need to be adapted to make the competition fairer? And why can't teams just announce their side at the toss?
Is Patrick Dangerfield the player of the generation? Who is Roosy's most underrated player in the competition? The team with the game plan ‘as good as anyone' in the competition at the moment and the coach that would have walked away from the weekend wondering if he can coach.
After being subbed off and given a spray in the second quarter in Round 7, Hugo Garcia excelled and was nominated for the Rising Star in Round 8. Is this a reflection on Ross Lyon's coaching and what kind of mark coaches can leave on player? Roosy attributes the Swans' 2005 Premiership win to one of his former coaches. If Fremantle have enough talent in their team, why aren't they winning? And ruckman Max Gawn had 35 disposals on the weekend, Roosy reflects on his longevity and what it was like to coach him.
In a week where Kane Cornes' feud with North Melbourne dominated the off-field agenda, it was the Kangaroos players who fell short on-field.

Plus the team preview the remaining games of Round 8.
Is the Kangaroos' media ban on Kane Cornes a reasonable step? Roosy weighs in on that, along with the 'genuine' bad blood in Sydney and Ross Lyon's frustration with the VFL Tribunal which was labelled a 'broken system'. Plus, he's also ready to crown the Suns a Finals contender.
West Coast have tabled two massive offers for star-midfielder Harley Reid to stay at the club, Paul Roos isn't convinced he's worth it. Will Day won't be heading to Adelaide, instead he's off to hospital to have surgery on his foot that will keep him out for a big chunk of the season. Izak Rankine needs to prove his fitness ahead of Adelaide's home game against Geelong. And does the media give the state-based leagues an unnecessarily bad wrap?
Paul Roos explains why the Gold Coast versus Adelaide game was so explosive, as well as which type of incorrect umpiring decisions are coach-killers. Where does Carlton fail in its inability to back up its first halves? Do Melbourne players look like they want to still be at the club? And the team wrap up all the round four action.
It doesn't get much bigger than Collingwood v Carlton at the MCG, will Carlton get redemption for last year's loss and their first win of the season? Collingwood have backed in maturity, fielding the oldest team in the AFL, while 20-year-old Will White is set to debut for the Blues. Does the AFL need another General Manager? Because they're getting one and Paul Roos recounts his biggest rivals both as a coach and a player.
In another week of confusing AFL rule book interpretations, the tribunal have upheld Rhyan Mansell's three-week suspension. Should West Coast's co-captain Oscar Allen be meeting with another team's coach? Paul Roos thinks Tasmania needs to get a wriggle on with their stadium if it's a condition of their team licence and can the State of Origin's glory days be reproduced?
Adelaide will need to find a replacement for injured forward Josh Rachele, is it as simple as next man up? How can Carlton adjust their game plan to resolve their ‘deplorable' second halves? The challenge of changing game plans with the weather and Paul Roos pays tribute to Andrew Krakouer.
Paul Roos is disappointed that the Eagles didn't try to shut down Caleb Serong in their 38 point loss to Fremantle. Which of the three teams without a win should be most concerned for their season? Is Carlton sending ‘alarm bells' to their fans by allowing their incoming CEO to sit in the coaching box? And is Rhyan Mansell's three-week suspension fair?
With constant rule changes and pressure from clubs and fans, how difficult is it to be an AFL umpire? Paul Roos says the push in the backs are at 'epidemic levels' as well as a crack down on the 15m kick, insufficient intent and protected area rules has lead the umpires to potential 'whistle fatigue'. Also, the Lions have a new den in Brisbane, Roos reminisces about his time at the GABBA.
Unlike Carlton, Paul Roos would never release his post-team address and feels 'that's betraying the players'. Is it helpful for Simon Goodwin to reveal there may have been personal reasons affecting Max Gawn's on-field performance? Andrew McQualter defends Harley Reid's gesture as 'theatre' and how difficult is it to just have 18 players on the field? Roosy recalls one particular Sydney match in 2008.
Having played under Brad Scott for two seasons, Dyson Heppell weighs in on whether Bombers fans should feel confident he's the man to take them back to finals footy. He hits back at Paul Roos' notion that players aren't working hard enough in the off season, and prepares himself for his first season in almost a decade watching from the sidelines.
