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.

He discusses the challenges and opportunities of recruiting international players and reflects on the pioneering efforts in the sport, including the Irish Experiment.

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

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?

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.

The team explain why the move has come now and who Melbourne might consider for the role.

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.

He recounts some of his best memories from the celebrations and across his time at The Kennel. The team reflect on Sam Docherty's amazing, yet challenging career ahead of his final match on Thursday night and the relief the Dog's fans would have felt with the Bont re-signing.

Roosy believes the game is on the right track issuing huge suspensions for unacceptable behaviour, including inappropriate slurs. If precedent was something the tribunal considered, what incidents would Steven May's lawyers be comparing his to? Carlton releases their pressure value for a week, which would be a relief for the club. And what would it take for Joe Daniher to be lured out of retirement?

Dockers defy most expectations to scrape a one-point win over the Pies at the MCG, proving Collingwood aren't so infallible. The debate about if Steven May will be suspended after his bump on Francis Evans continues. Do the Swans still have a glimmer of hope to make the finals? Plus, the team wrap up all the big moments from Round 19.

Essendon bring in over 600 games of experience this week and Roosy is baffled they haven't done it sooner. In a weekend where more top 8 hopefuls clash, who will come out victorious and which bottom 9 teams can shake up the finals race? Plus Roosy remembers Barrie Robran who was widely regarded as the best South Australian to ever play the game, after he passed away aged 77. 

GWS didn't need to get out of first gear to make light work of the inaccurate and injury plagued Bombers, but how long will the Giants remain in the top four? Marc Murphy has done the maths and believes Sydney is still a change to make the finals this year. Plus, the team answer all the big questions ahead of the remainder of Round 19.

Adam Cerra was the test case for careless umpire contact offences being heard before the Tribunal and the hearing might have raised more questions than answers, meanwhile Zac Bailey and Tristan Xerri had their bans upheld. With Greg Swann starting his role as the Executive General Manager of Football Performance on Monday, Roosy and Poppy had a commission meeting to try and get a head start on some of the big ticket items.  

Paul Roos believes that Harley Reid should be missing at least a week for an incident with Travis Boak on the weekend, and that he needs to start letting his football do the talking. The Bulldogs are sitting in ninth, is that where they deserve to be? And would we be more critical of North Melbourne if it wasn't Alastair Clarkson in the coaches box?

Roosy thinks Essendon should bring some more fun into the remainder of its season as the Bombers injury woes worsen.There are still questions over the Gold Coast for Roosy and did Lachie Neale use the umpire as a screen resulting in Adam Cerra being sent to the tribunal?

Brisbane continue to surge, out-classing Carlton in Melbourne. But it wasn't without drama and injury carnage, with the premiership contender caught up with a sad season-ender for defender Noah Answerth. Also on today's episode, Corbin Middlemas, Ben Cameron and Brett Deledio ponder whether tonight's game is the Suns' most important ever game. And the Dogs play the Crows - who needs the scalp more?

After a difficult few weeks, Carlton fans may not be looking forward to their match with the Lions but Paul Roos think's is not all doom and gloom. Could the Suns spoil illness-riddled Collingwood's trip to the Gold Coast? And, with a number of high stakes games, Roosy struggles to pick his match and team of the round this week.

Off the back of Voss receiving messages that are now under investigation by the AFL, Roosy reminds us that no one cares more about a club than the players and coach. Carlton has plenty of fresh ink on contracts, surely re-signings is good for morale? There is nothing but praise for Emma Kearney who is stepping down as North Melbourne's captain, when does a player know it's the right time? Plus, with Wrexham AFC players visiting Hawthorn, Roosy regales us about times he was awe-struck when celebrities popped by his clubs.

Tough. Innovative. Pragmatic with a soft side. Those are some of the words an emotional Paul Roos used to describe Australian Rules titan Robert Walls after the passing of the 74-year-old. Walls won four premierships as a player and coach with Carlton and his influence spread well beyond the navy blues. Roos reflects on Walls' legacy and recollects his farewell to the man who coached him at Fitzroy. Featured: Paul Roos, AFL premiership coach.Subscribe to the ABC Sport Newsletter
