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?

    , 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

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
