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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
