AFL great Paul Roos has been slammed for making a “stupid comment” about struggling North Melbourne. Roos, who earlier called the Kangaroos’ winless start to the season “pathetic”, had another crack at the club when discussing his playing days. The Australian Football Hall of Famer enjoyed a stellar playing career for Fitzroy and Sydney, clocking up 356 games and seven All-Australian selections among a host of accolades.
That proved a disastrous appointment with Noble sacked inside 18 months, but Roos remained on the club’s payroll in a consultancy position for two years despite being based in Hawaii. That fact wasn’t lost on former North Melbourne champion Corey McKernan, who took aim at Roos for the comment.
