In the last few weeks PR is totally frustrated with the inability of many on the list who can play their role.

PR is now firmly putting his foot on the throat and will have marked the card of many under performers .

I feel for this bloke who has inherited such a poor group of footballers.

As Peter Jackson said - Dee supporters are looking for hope. My hope is PR is given time to clean out this shambles of a football team

    If St Kilda Win two maybe Bulldogs and Brisbane we will finish last Think about It!

    I find it difficult to "feel" for anyone with more than three figures in their bank account. Paul Roos has seven.

    Apparently, Brazil wants to bring criminal charges against its players. It's high time we did the same. For mine incarceration and hard labour are the only answers. And floggings BBO.

    Clearly you're against capital punishment.

    Why?

    I'm with Jumbo. Coach killers who already have Neeld's and Bailey's scalps. If Roos, Jackson and coaching staff don't act on them at the end of the year they will get the same tarnish as their predecessors and next year will be the same this one or last year or the year before that .

    If you keep repeating the same practices you will keep getting the same outcomes.

    Has it been since Roosy said he will extend his contract ? have they slacked off with comfort & complacency ?

    its the culture that has crept in since smithy went. soft & comfy & politically correct, is the melbourne way. next they will stop tackling again.

    this poison has been IN Us for most of the last 50 Years.

    If this team finishes last, is it still a season of improvement? Or a failure? Serious question.

    We are a much, much better side than last year. If we finish last, it means other teams have improved more - so be it. We won't finished last though, watched much St Kilda lately? We may not win another game, but nor will they.

    Edit: And the only game Brisbane have that may be winnable is against us, and their percentage is diabolical. Our game between them will most likely be the battle for 16th position.

    Roosy? What about everyone who buys a membership and buys the merchandise. Watts first quarter was the most embarrassing effort I've ever seen. Brought a cats fan along yesterday and they said before the game why wouldn't you trade Watts for a Morabito? I said we made mistakes in the past letting go of blokes like Jnr Mac and we want to stand strong. We lost a champion in Jnr along with his coaching skills, why should we hold onto Watts?

  • Quote

    , why should we hold onto Watts?

    Because he played a good game one day,And hes popular,and he had a bad start to his career,and hes had a lot of preasure put on him,and did you see the handball he gave one day and then he set us up,and the he .....

    Chit im outta excuses 2 years ago,And nothing will change after 6 years of ppppppppffffffffffffffttttttttttttttttttttt.

    Bit like the bloke who used to read the news for channel 10,no matter how bad he was,he still kept his job.Had to be rooting somebody's daughter.

    Don't think Roos would want any sympathy. He knows what he's up against and will be up for the challenge.

    Exactly,and we as supporters knew where our list was at before roosy even saw it,no problems there.

    10 trade delistings,yep most bottom clubs do about 10 ish .

    Cross recruit of the year at our club,doesnt need to be scared to put his point across,i said this after game 5,He{cross]screamed "jack" and scowled a look of bitter disappointment at JW for not helping out,but bludging for an easy kick.

    Something tells me Crossy want be backward when it comes to telling PR his thoughts on JW.

    Jazzy, when I think of blokes that were shelved like Jnr, Greene, Davey, and then I watch Watts on the weekend I can't find reason...watts is not in the same rung as those champions. Yes they were at the end but what they stood for was effort and heart and Watts doesn't have that.

    Bailey and those around him created the culture. Neeld then continued it and created his own problems. The players have to take responsibility now, but they got to this stage via poor coaching and development from Bailey and Neeld.

    AF, Bailey, is the best coach we've had in the last decade. Our recruitment has been s#it

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
