Roos tongue tied?

Featured Replies

 

Only matches the tripe served up by some of the supporters

They were training well, watched quite a few, hence the frustration at not being able to translate it to match day

Also why the list is not as bad as everybody seems to think

Oh yeah, they showed those witches hats who was the King of Old Melbourne Town didn't they?

Torched them so much they melted tips!

Burn.

Literally, the plastic was burning. The smell was terrible. Evacuations. It was a big deal.

 

good for you

walk like, sounds like...looks like...etc etc...quack

officially or otherwise hes working right now...yep..right now.. Its amazing really how it all works !!


Well I believe that we will rise fairly quickly from this 7 year slump. Not saying finals next year but hopefully competitive in the middle order of things.

The game of today demands a large midfield, as everybody knows we haven't had one since Scot West left and then after him we were coached by Brian Royal who turned it into poo!!

We now have the forwards and defensively they are good, just overworked the past couple of years!! If the new midfield works as hard as N Jones then the sky is the limit!!

oh yes, we will be up and about and giving a shout next season!!

To be fair to rpfc, you did say 'on the payroll' in post #39 or so. Hopefully he is indeed doing the job full time and quacking as needed even if he is not on the payroll.

And you think he's NOT on the payroll?? Again fiscal semantics...that and a very secret little known thing...."having more than one job at a time "

People still believing the spin...and not whats right in front of them...

I have no idea if he is on the actual payroll or not. He may be on accumulated leave from his last job(s). No need to be on 2 payrolls. Has the word 'spin' changed its meaning - where is there spin in any of this? rfpc didn't say we only saw cardboard cutouts of Roos at Etihad reviewing players. Non event.

his last day job was the Swans academy where he finished up a few months back

his moonlighting is irrelvant


you have heard. he said we need midfielders.

We just got midfielders?

what do you want?

Bb - you lost. Diminish into the abyss gracefully.

You can jump into some semantical cocoon of your own making but we see it, hell we can feel it over the intertubes. It's over.

Memberships will not be an issue...

  • Roos has signed Jack Watts on when all believed he was lost
  • We now have something resembling a decent midfield
  • We have Clark back training
  • We have the prospect of a forward line comprising Dawes, Hogan, Clark and Howe who may even finally be able to get some decent delivery from further up the ground
  • We have one of the most exciting forward prospects in many a year about to embark on his AFL career
  • And lastly, we will have a de-facto DeeTV every Monday night on Foxtel, in the form of On the Couch!

Put a few wins on the board to start the season off, and our memberships should start to head for the ceiling, if not quite going through the roof.

Point was in response to question of why he isn't talking out loud at the moment. Answer, because he doesn't officially start as Coach until 1 November. Doesn't mean he isn't working away behind the scenes but does explain lack of public statements. Mind you, I don't hear any other coaches speaking during trade week either. So not a big deal. But he didn't LOSE.

Do you want him to hear im building on a re build on top of a re build on top of a re build. Roos doesnt need to say anything. His actions will. I dont want him to come out and say we will be tougher and better next year. We will win more matches. He cant promise that.

Plus im pretty sure membership is going well for this time of the year.

Just let the man go about his job

The thing is no coach is really saying anything..Whats to say ? trot out any number of co-joined cliches ?

Everything is kept close of chest at this juncture. After all the trades and drafting then there's some largesse for commentary and questioning.

Lol! Nice turn of phrase there, BB, but there are those, including me, who would claim it as an oxymoron ... :lol:

His contract starts 1Nov13 - it's in the early articles(can't remember which).

So he's working hard before he starts - but he might charge per word if he speaks publicly. He's obviously spoken to Cross, 'cos that's what Cross said.

I'm enjoying the silence rather than the usual spin. I saw him at the draft combine, and he was saying plenty to Todd and Jase.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.
