I feel for you Roosy

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

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.

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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
