Why on earth would he care about the result of Crows / Essendon?
Then he would have been happy for the crows to win.Sydney need a non-victorian team in the Grand Final to stand a chance and Roos knows it.

Wouldn't that mean he would be happy if Adelaide won?Sydney need a non-victorian team in the Grand Final to stand a chance and Roos knows it.
He was really good in that Crows/Bombers game. I can understand how his Sydney focus is annoying in Swans games, but in neutral games he does his job, which is to point out structures and plays not immediately obvious to the casual viewer, and explain why some things are working and others aren't. He's not there to be a cheerleader or provide BT-style "colour". But people have a whinge because he's too negative about their club.

the problem with a lot of ex coaches as commentators is they harp on player errors rather than focus on the positives.
we watch football for the skills of the players - we don't watch it looking for the mistakes players make. its entertainment and the commentators need to remember that.
Why on earth do you need a special comments man there telling you how great everything is? I would've thought that would be pretty self-evident when your team is doing well.
If you want someone to just cheer along to the action on the screen, turn the sound off and you and your mates can provide a running commentary. Or just become a Hawthorn or Carlton fan and let Bruce McAveney call your games.
that's ironic coming from a Swans supporter. you like Roos as a commentator solely because he cheers along your team, very unprofessionally, while he's supposed to be doing his job. you're too blind or too stupid to notice.
*facepalm*ironic

He was clearly barracking for Bombers. Who knows why but he was...
Roos talks way too much. He is there for special comments and talks over the top of commentators during key pieces of play, he needs to learn to shut up or make his points more quickly.
he was destroying us in the first quarter,then became disturbingly biased in the second half,roos is just horrible to listen to all round.roos barracking for lions
Been happening for over a year. Nothing has or will change.Obviously biased, but I thought Paul Roos was barracking for Sydney in a shameless and woefully unprofessional way in tonight's commentary.
At the opposite end of the spectrum was Jason Dunstall's usual approach of overly criticising Hawthorn: something which irritates a lot of Hawthorn fans but I don't mind.
Is this sort of thing acceptable? To be expected from ex-players and coaches who move into the media? Or should there be a modicum of professionalism?
