Paul Roos preseason update

Featured Replies

 

… just changed the name & avatar.

Not the style though.

 

''Neeld bashing'' ? Clearly when discussing present training programs, fitness levels, skills, and gains made it's going to be measured against the past, in which case previous methods may be (correctly) scrutinised.

As an aside, Neeld's horrible legacy shouldn't be forgotten and as a long suffering supporter I won't begrudge others expressing disdain for Neeld, Schwab, Bailey and those that appointed them. I find it churlish for others to make recommendations as to when posters can and can't make such observations.

If others want to ''move on'' that's up to them. I'll please myself.

Not keen on the new name but, as stated, you'll please yourself. I quite liked Hannabal - even if it was after a dog rather than a historical figure

The new name reminds me of a poor unfortunate who was standing the mark as I lined up for goal in junior footy

He gave me the old "Miss, miss. cockie's [censored ]" (pi55 for the censor)

Sadly the silly bugger had a lisp and it came out "Myth, myth, cockieth pith"

Lost all of its intended impact

Confirmed.

Yes, Hur, Myth - gender reassignment, forum style


You're happy to engage in bile soaked commentary regarding Tony Abbott on the General Board, but less tolerant to hear such views about Neeld on what is in essence a football forum. Hypocritical sentiments of the highest order.

Like Samson and his short back and sides, your name changed seems to have weakened your powers of comprehension... unless of course you can direct me to said bile soaked commentary re TA? Regardless, it wouldn't have mattered as it would have been in an appropriate topic... this however happens to be a topic about Paul Roos preseason update... NOT about Neeld... but you feel free to keep staring into your rear view mirror Benny boy.

Thats good. i was worried.

Noli illegittimi non carborundum.

 

Dont let the bastards grind you down

Anyways back on topic..

Good to hear Roosy has been impressed about our boys so far this summer. Players seem to respect and that can take you a long way just ask the Port boys with Ken Hinkley. The boys there absolutely love him go out there to bust a nut for that bloke.

Me too, but alas Hannabal was banned and is still persona non grata.

That said, when I first became Hannabal Finks said he was disappointed, as he preferred Trav 20. It's what you become used to and I learnt decades ago that one can't be all things to all people. Most here won't understand who The Myth is, but that's fine.

I agree that we can discuss the mistakes of the past.

We don't need to make past employees villians however, and while 'expressing disdain' can be done in a respectful, and yet still forceful manner, it easily becomes crass and vitriolic.

Poster should "move on" from that.

Agreed ... what we don't need however, is posters embellishing the truth with distortions and confected stories of supposedly past events.

The Roos story will be an interesting one to witness as it unfolds. I suspect that if he succeeds in lifting the club back where we want it to be, it will always be looked at in the context of what we were like when he took over in much the same way as the cricket fraternity is looking at Boof's contribution to our Ashes victory in the light of our poor test performances in recent years. That doesn't mean that Micky Arthur was a psychopathic axe murderer as well as being an ordinary cricket coach.

Most here won't understand who The Myth is, but that's fine.

Most here couldn't give a flying.

I've never once heard the phrase "miss miss cockie's [censored]"... Is this a common thing?

Uh oh.... he's got a swans coloured coffee 'keep cup' on the whiteboard ledge. Not good. ;)

Moon clearly you are a details man.

and it does noy matter to you if the detals are meaningless.

Are you and BBO brothers by any chance?

Can we PLEASE get back on topic, I'm sick of his continual hijacking of threads.

Laphroaig is the king of all whiskeys, you're kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

Lagavulin is not a bad drop just quietly and I hope single malt lovers on here dont spoil the nectar with ice.

This could get ugly, wars have been started for less. Imagine going anywhere near a mans whiskey with ice

Islay malts - I'd sooner drink lighter fluid.

Well, a fine bright spark you turned out to be.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
