Paul Roos carved out a remarkable career in the AFL — first as a standout player and captain at Fitzroy, then as the coach who led the Sydney Swans to their famous 2005 Premiership. Widely admired for his calm presence and culture-first approach, Roos reshaped how teams think about leadership, accountability, and success. Today, he continues to share those lessons through his work in media and leadership consulting, inspiring both athletes and business leaders alike.Website: https://performancebydesign.co/

We re-live what it was like for Roosy as a player and as a coach. The team analyse key attributes of each team that lead to the Grand Final and who they believe will take home the flag. Plus, there's nine games of AFLW this weekend, why aren't they all in Melbourne this weekend too?

Andrew Welsh has stepped in for David Barham as the president of the Essendon Football Club, will he be able to turn this club around? Mabior Chol has had his tribunal case thrown out, could we see a softening of the matrix next year to take into consideration concussions caused by football accidents?  Which of Collingwood's delisted players could get an opportunity elsewhere? And, Snoop Dogg puts his hand up for AFL team selection with an impressive goal from the boundary.

Gold Coast Sun Matt Rowell has taken home the top gong in the footy world, but is it still the most prestigious award in the industry?  The footy world was shocked Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera didn't receive the full three points in Round 20.  Should Izak Rankine been made ineligible, even though his suspension wasn't deemed a football act. Plus Zach Merrett has spoken for the first time since his meeting with Sam Mitchell, should have he fronted up sooner?

Patrick Dangerfield single-handedly blew Hawthorn out of the water, how impressive was his display? Does the AFL need to clarify an umpire's decision to not pay Collingwood a free kick? Several Brisbane players are racing against the clock to prove their fitness for Saturday.  Plus, ahead of tonight's count, Roosy regales us with some of his favourite Brownlow night memories.

The teams have dropped and we take you through the ins, outs and key match-ups that will shape this weekend's games. Bobby Hill hasn't been selected for the Pies, have they got that decision right?

Plus, Tasmania's Macquarie Point Stadium has been handed an unfavourable state planning commission report, how can the Devil's keep their dream alive?

North Melbourne's Jy Simpkin is the latest captain reportedly looking for a different club for 2026, under what circumstances can a contract be broken amicably? According to Roosy free agency is causing the power divide between the top and bottom teams on the ladder, has the system backfired on the AFL and how can they solve it? And Boomer Harvey's grand final win with Trentham on the weekend is something worth celebrating.

Nathan Buckley still has his eye on coaching Tasmania and that might have just been enough for Melbourne to give Steven King the top job, does King have the right vision to change the team's finals fortunes? Does Roosy believe State of Origin football can ever live up to what it was like in the past? And the team celebrate Hawk Luke Breust who has been dealt a cruel injury blow to see out his AFL career.

Minor premier Adelaide bow out of the finals race in straight sets, will the Hawks be able to maintain their momentum against Geelong this Friday? Roosy says Gold Coast's season is still a 'massive win', making it further than it ever has before.

Freo and GWS have cleared their September diaries of matches, so now they must face an honest review process, how is this best tackled? Campbell Chesser wants out of the Eagles, but could his injury history be a liability for the Blues? With a couple of ruckmen potentially on the move, what is the value of a good tall? Plus, Roosy wants to see the return of the drop punt after some disappointing shots on goal last weekend. 

Adelaide Crow Josh Rachele has been spotted on the training track, how do teams handle the need for change after a loss? Melbourne's coaching race narrows, what would Roosy be asking the interview panel if he was in the hot seat? Plus, West Coast have officially applied for draft concessions, do the 2018 premiers deserve handouts or are they squarely to blame for their recent poor seasons? 

With Fremantle and the Giants sent packing this weekend, who does Roosy feel had a more disappointing season? There are now only six teams left in finals contention, who is the stand-out premiership favourite now? And booing has become an ugly part of the game, how do we call an end to it?

The Crows have been dealt a tactical advantage with Jeremy Howe not taking the field for the Pies tonight, how can they make the most of it?

Plus, the team look ahead to all four exciting matches of finals footy being played this weekend.

Plus, the teams are in for the remaining three matches of the week, how are they placed to proceed in September?

Izak Rankine has touched down back in Adelaide and faced the media by himself, should the club have sent the cavalry to support him?

Have you ever wondered what the specific roles are of the assistant coaches at your club? Roosy explains why assistant coaches are so key to a team's on-field success and how much trust a senior coach puts in them. Plus Michael Voss is adamant Curnow isn't on the trade table despite the star reportedly meeting with Swans' coach Dean Cox and Sam Draper could be the bargain of the trade period.

Interviews are now underway for Melbourne's top coaching job, is Buckley still favourite? And Lauren Bordin joins the team to wrap all the AFLW action as the highest score was overtaken twice. 

SHAPE 2025 Recap Part 1, featuring Dr Adam Fraser, Simon Kuestenmacher, Paul Roos, Dave Eccles and Tadhg Kennelly and Leigh Sales.

The AFL has selected its All-Australian team and despite not captaining Geelong, Jeremy Cameron was awarded skipper, was that the right choice? Bailey Smith spoke candidly about his mental health struggles, how does normalising these conversations advance the game? And it's bye week in the AFL, so all attention can be focused on the Indigenous Round in the AFLW.

In this episode of the World Footy BNF podcast, Paul Roos joins the discussion to delve deep into the international side of Australian Rules Football. Paul shares his initial spark of interest in integrating American athletes into the AFL, recounting his coaching clinics and key experiences in the United States. He discusses the challenges and opportunities of recruiting international players and reflects on the pioneering efforts in the sport, including the Irish Experiment. Paul also shares vivid memories from his time coaching the USA national team and highlights the potential missed opportunities due to the AFL's lack of serious investment in international talent back in 1999. The conversation touches on the contrasting sports systems of the USA and Australia, the impact of international recruits on the game, and what the AFL could have done differently to bolster its global footprint. This episode provides an insightful perspective on the growth and potential of international Australian Rules Football. Hosted by Adam Gomolinski and Troy Thompson

The Gold Coast celebrated their 95-point win like they'd won the grand final and everyone's happy to see them make their first finals appearance (except maybe the Bulldogs).

Plus, the team highlight the must-watch AFLW matches this weekend.

24 rounds of footy will finally conclude tonight, can the Bombers rain on Gold Coast's finals parade? Is paying players like Harley Reid and Tom De Koning on potential going to be harmful to clubs in the future? In a sad day for Carlton, Jack Silvangi has announced his intentions to join a new club. Plus, did the AFL get the All Australian squad right?

TDK reportedly has penned a huge eight-year deal with the Saints, is the price right? Willie Rioli has announced his retirement from Port amongst some other surprising delistings. What would it take from the Swans to get Charlie Curnow across the border? And who should be most proud of their season in 2025?

The Bombers will have Bulldogs fans cheering them on this week as they take on the Gold Coast in a thrilling final match of the home and away season. Fremantle's ability to beat top eight teams has secured its finals position, can the Dockers keep the momentum going? Which teams at the bottom of the ladder does Roosy feel can play finals next year? Plus, the team wrap all the round two AFLW action.

The Blues go into the off-season with consecutive wins, but did Tom De Koning's speech to Carlton's room tell us he's leaving the club? Is the four-match ban for Rankine right and how can the AFL improve their investigations? Plus, the team look forward to the remainder of the final round of the home and away season.

Roosy has called it, Dogs v Dockers is the game of the season with everything on the line for both teams. Carlton have Mitch McGovern named as an emergency this week, meaning his 2026 contract is up in the air. Roosy has nothing but praise for Dayne Zorko as he joins the 300 club this weekend, and why is he so excited about Essendon v Carlton on Thursday night?

The AFL is reportedly considering a matrix system for players who use slurs which should result in more consistency but will it stamp out the behaviour? How would Ken Hinkley be feeling as he heads into his final game as coach of Port Adelaide, knowing he will be without Ollie Wines.

St Kilda have secured their man, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera has signed on for two more years making the club a more attractive prospect for other players. The Adelaide Crows' players were door stopped by the media yesterday to only say the Rankine investigation was 'not ideal', how can clubs best handle this?  And Roosy doesn't hold back on how the Eagles have fallen from grace since their 2018 Premiership.

Hawthorn legend Luke Breust has announced he'll hang up his boots, what legacy will he leave at the club? Which of the two expansion teams will win a premiership first? Is Ken Hinkley what Michael Voss needs at Carlton? Plus the team wrap the AFLW opening matches from last night and preview the remainder of the men's round.

The 10th AFLW season will start tonight, can North Melbourne be the first team to win back-to-back premierships?

Plus, the heat is on coaches with prickly press conferences and why it would be a ‘disgrace' if Freo sacked Longmuir.

Dylan Shiel has been handed a one week suspension for an action that has been likened to Mansell's earlier this year in which he got three weeks, is this fair?

It's always a big call to sack a coach, but especially so when the decision makers are operating as caretakers. Melbourne has an interim CEO and president but have cut ties with Simon Goodwin. We're asking Corbin Middlemas why they made the move now, who comes next and how this might ratchet up pressure on other struggling clubs.

If Melbourne hasn't called John Longmire yet, club officials are 'berefet in their duties'. That's the view of the man who preceded Simon Goodwin, Paul Roos. In this bumper episode Roos reflects on Goodwin's tenure, his sacking and how the weight of expectation delivered his downfall. The team explain why the move has come now and who Melbourne might consider for the role. 

Corbin Middlemas and Ben Cameron join Paul Roos to unpack an eventful Round 21, that saw a crackdown in the push in the back rule, plus a couple of contenders display what they're best can look like and, according to Roosy, how that form will hold up in September.

Corbin Middlemas, Ben Cameron and Brett Deledio react to the Western Bulldogs' monumental 88-point win over the Giants, in what was a shock Thursday Night Football event. The guys then run through some big storylines ahead of the rest of Round 21 in the AFL.

Collingwood coach Craig McRae has admitted he met with Carlton's Jack Silvagni, and Roosy says this could be huge. The race for top eight spots is incredibly tight which means finals effectively start now, so who makes it? The Eagles have asked for draft concessions and if it was up to Roosy they wouldn't get a thing. 

It looks like Eagles' co-captain Oscar Allen might land at the Brisbane Lions in season 2026, and Roosy believes this highlights the fact that free agency means the good teams keep getting better. Paul believes that idea that the competition could expand to a 10-team finals series is rewarding mediocrity. Plus Poppy and Roosy are in agreement over who would be the best AFL Grand Final entertainment. 

Already suspended Toby Greene has been seen kicking Dane Rampe off the ball before the first bounce, how can this type of behaviour continue from their captain and how did the AFL miss this?
