    281: Paul Roos (Part B)
    Nov 11 2026
    A legendary Premiership coach and one of the most influential figures in modern Australian football. From an 18-year-old living the dream at Fitzroy in the 1980s, to leading the Sydney Swans to their drought-breaking 2005 premiership, Roosy has seen just about everything footy can throw at you. This is a brilliant conversation about football, leadership, people and perspective. It’s footy stories and some wonderful lessons along the way. Roosy shares the extraordinary final conversation he had with former coach Robert Walls, just days before his passing, and the simple life lessons that stayed with him. He opens up about Adam Goodes, the racism scandal that rocked the Swans family, and delivers a powerful reminder about passion and remembering the human beings behind the game. And, of course, there's the story behind one of the most iconic premiership-winning speeches in football history. Where did "HERE IT IS" come from? This episode of The Howie Games is proudly supported by Performance by Design, the performance and leadership company co-founded by Roosy, helping individuals, teams and organisations build high-performing cultures.
