Paul Roos

When Sydney Swans coach Paul Roos placed his hands on the AFL premiership trophy it signalled the end of a 72 year drought for the club.

With more than 92,000 fans watching on at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and hundreds of thousands more glued to television screens around the world, this was Paul’s moment of glory.

The former 356-match AFL superstar had just witnessed a nail-biting final quarter in the 2005 grand final that saw his beloved Swans come from behind to snatch an historic 58-54 victory over the West Coast Eagles.

The Roos factor in the Swans triumph was generously acknowledged in post-match tributes.

One from Peter Schwab, the former triple Hawthorn premiership player and later the Hawks’ club coach, said it for all. “The greatest strength in Roos’ coaching, “ he wrote the next day, “appears to be his ability to make a group of players believe that everything is about and for the team”.

Following an outstanding career as a player, Paul answered a call to fill the vacant senior coaching position at the Swans midway through the 2002 season.

Full-time assistant coach since 2001, he was subsequently appointed to the club's senior coaching position for a three year term effective season 2003. Remarkably, he guided the Swans into the play-offs in 2003, his talents acknowledged with his naming as AFL Coach of the Year.

Roos played 87 games for the Swans after joining the Sydney Cricket Ground-headquartered club in 1995 following a star-studded career with the old Fitzroy club - now the Brisbane Lions - including six seasons as captain.

During his career with Fitzroy, he was a member of the Victorian representative team 10 years running, two as captain. He was also named in the All-Australian team on seven occasions, twice as skipper.

An extremely mobile player with expansive marking and kicking skills, Paul was runner-up in the Brownlow Medal - AFL's highest individual player award - in 1986 after finishing third the year before. He also won the E J Whitten Medal, awarded to the best Victorian player in State of Origin football, in 1985 and 1988.

In 2013, Paul left his role at the Swans to be the head coach of Melbourne Football Club.
