Round 1 team chosen by Roos

[Deespicable 2,726]

If you want a clearer idea on what Paul Roos thinks of his new players, here's a link to an article that Paul Roos wrote in the Herald Sun on August 2 in which he picked his likely team with plenty of blanks.

The team is good news for Blease fans and even better news for the vast majority of Dunny-bashers.

No room for Terlich or Matt Jones and Grimes is correctly listed as a defender.

Watts features but worryingly is placed on a wing!

You can probably also figure out why Davey retired.

Why Melbourne can turn it around sooner than you think

MELBOURNE

B: Frawley Garland
HB: Grimes McDonald
C: Blease? Jones Watts
HF:Sylvia Dawes Hogan
F: Clark Howe
R:J amar? Trengrove Viney
I/C: Fitzpatrick?

I think you overstate your case by saying "no room for Terlich or Matt Jones".... plenty of room, just not in his best 15, at the time he made the call.

It's not my case - it's his!

Deespicable, you were able to search the archives to come up with an August the 2nd newspaper article in which Roos lists his Dees team, yet was unable to scroll a few centimetres down the page where he could have found this??:

God, sack him. He can't even spell TRENGOVE.

I like Howe deep forward though.

Sorry Hradtack and applogies to the original creater Plug the Magician. Can Plug now combine the two threads magically.

Regardless the article became even more pertinent today!

That's Paul La Roos... a distant relation to Danny La Rue.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

I don't see daisy or Rory Sloane in that midfield...

I just cant wait to see what he does with watts, Howe and a few others - where will they play.

Anyone else wonder whether despite turning into a tidy player, Fitz might be up for trade? the doggies might be keen. I love the Fitz don't get me wrong but if Roos decides Watts is a forward then we already have too many talls.

I just have this nagging feeling that just perhaps we might not see Sellar or Gillies in this side? Probably a wild thought
