Is this a better version of the red & blue print?

Better and Red and Blue Print should not be used in the same sentence.

However Lets really hope so.

    Say red and blue print 10 times quick enough and it sounds like Roos-print.

    It will be nice to see a team playing together in a simple and unified plan. But winning would be nice as well.

    That may well be the understatement of 2014 so far tm.

    I dream about it.

    The red and blueprint had winning at its ultimate end as well. Sadly, we fell down badly on the footy side but the cynics are having their day anyway.

    In the end it is the only criteria that matters

    How nice will it be to know a game plan by round 5, usually we know there is no game plan after 5 minutes in round 1

    We all knew by round one 2012 what Neeld's game plan was. Kick long around the boundary, bomb it into the fifty upon which Mitch Clark would mark it or crash the pack and allow a crumber to get the spoils.

    Problem was... It was a horrible game plan that was picked to pieces by Brisbane within 3 quarters.

    It is also a good idea to have the players capable of implementing your plan.

    I doubt the players available in 2012 /3 were capable of implementing any plan against an AFL standard team.

    I hope the players know the game plan before round 5.

    interesting that our first 5 are against sides whose current placing in premiership odds are 9th,10th,13th,16th and 18th, it's a huge opportunity for a great start

    Dreaming sure is dangerous C and B but what do we have left.

    to dream is to start the deesire.

    to be able to find the trove needs the right guidance. but will we recognise it then?

    didnt Barassi have a round 5 plan ? or was it a 5 year plan? :)

    This is the first year of our 11th five year plan.

  • Quote

    I'm setting myself up for a slow first half of the year with 2 or 3 wins followed by progressive improvement, some close losses and 4 to 5 good wins in the second half.

    I just discussed this with someone yesterday. He was the last great coach to come in to the Club before Roos and set about rebuilding the Club from its basic roots all the way through. It didn't take the 5 yrs he planned, it took 7 to get to the finals and 8 to a GF. But it was the list he built from U19's up. Roosy already has a much better list to work with.

    At this point we don't know that, we will get a better idea by the end of tonight.

    Please don't forget how poor we were the last two years.

    exactly.

    It was so tough to fix, he burnt some bridges trying to force change. the MCC refused to give us other rooms for a decent Gymnasium, & for social areas.

    many players ended up playing inspite, but others were right behind him.

    ..... he stepped down to let the team flourish. to allow the passion to fire backup, & confidence to return

    Ron ended up going to right the Swans boat, & set them up off-field as well. he may have recruited Roos to them? Ron resurrected the Swans & made them Professional as well.

    Roos may now be trying to return that favour.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
