Paul Roos is a legend of modern Australian Rules.
On the field he was all class, 356 games for Fitzroy and Sydney, in the 80s he ushered in a new style of attacking play from defence and became on one of the league’s best players through his 17 season career that spanned from 1982-1997.
He was named in the All-Australian team no less than 7 times, and was inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame as a player in 2005.
But that wasn’t the end of footy for Roosy. He moved into assistant coaching at Sydney before taking on the head coach role in 2002, turning the Swans into a perennial power and breaking a 72 year drought by coaching the formerly South Melbourne and now Sydney club to a premiership in 2005.
Finishing in 2010 he was then lured out of retirement to mastermind the rebuilding of the Melbourne Football Club taking them from the bottom of the AFL ladder, before handing over a finals ready team to his groomed successor 3 seasons later.
But what is lesser known of Roos is his effect on football in the United States. A twist of fate on an end of season trip led to the USA becoming a second home and subsequently made him perhaps the highest profile advocate for the Australia-US footy connection.
US Revolution features Mason Cox, Shannon Gill and American broadcaster Ed Wyatt in an exploration of Australian Rules Football's US connections. The 8-part series will feature additional interviews with Jason Holmes and former ESPN broadcaster Bob Ley.

Since the resumption of the AFL season the interest in Australian football from the US has continued , with now Fox Sports and ESPN both carrying matches in the USA. But the idea of how to make the AFL an ongoing success beyond the spike of interest during COVID-19 is a challenging one.
In a previous episode of US Revolution we spoke to Bob Ley – an ESPN original who was there in the heady days of the early 80s when Australian rules had a prime spot in the schedule because of the lack of rights to the major US sports.
BY the 90s ESPN had fallen out of love with the sport as it bounced around irregular scheduling on the network. For expats and US converts it hit rock bottom when the broadcast of a Grand Final was delayed by a baseball game.
One of our own, Ed Wyatt, and his Australian sports television producing wife Michelle were two of those who thought the game deserved better in the 90s. Michelle was producing for Fox Sports in the US and decided it was time Australian football was given a proper push.
On TGSTW Presents US REV - we talk to Michelle, and Ed, about how they got Fox Sports to televise the AFL in the US during the 90s and the highs and lows of trying to push our game into the American TV market.

When ESPN started on US television it had a studio, a name, and not much else. It also had Bob Ley. Bob and his ESPN colleagues spent hours talking about obscure sports from around the world. Australian Rules Football was one of the most obscure and developed a cult following among early ESPN subscribers.
Bob Ley joins The Greatest Season That Was Presents...US Revolution.
US Revolution features Mason Cox, Shannon Gill and American broadcaster Ed Wyatt in an exploration of Australian Rules Football's US connections. The 8-part series features additional interviews with Paul Roos, Mason Cox, Jason Holmes and John Ironmonger.

Just a month out from the 1993 season North Melbourne were in tatters, the so-called next big things had stalled. A bad 1992 and now a 147 point thrashing in the Pre-Season Fosters Cup by the Crows saw coach Wayne Schimmelbusch sacked with just weeks until the season proper started. So how did a club that had no money, no coach and no captain turn it all around within 6 weeks to be top of the AFL ladder and the new glamour team of 1993 . We talk to North Melbourne football supreme Greg Miller about the events of 1993 and how its legacy turned North Melbourne into the team of the 90s.

The Greatest Season That Was: 93 documents our contention that in 1993, footy was never better. Hosted by Adam Collins, Dan Brettig and Shannon Gill, this series is an in-depth exploration of one amazing season. Why 1993? It was an outlier for many reasons, a ridiculously even season of record scoring that was impossible to predict, in turn delivering a host of seminal moments that still echo through the modern era. All this happened with the backdrop of a league that had gone through disastrous teething issues. But 1993 vindicated the vision that led to the national competition. After spluttering on the runway for years, the AFL truly took off and never looked back. Thanks for listening.
