Some serious questions asked about Paul Roos ...

[dazzledavey36 55,319]

18 months into his tenure and I feel we still haven't improved much from 2014.. yeah are one win ahead but his game plan is simply pathetic. Club like GWS WB and St Kilda are ahead of us in development and game style. They play a fast and free flowing game where we still play a very one minded defensive game plan. Roosy needs to seriously consider whether he wants to go on ahead next year. I was a big advocate for him going around again but i can't simply see us improving much at all next year if he keeps going the way he is.

I seriously hope Goodwin brings in a much more attacking style..

This St Kilda is the last straw for me this year. Not watching any more games. Why should supporters sit through this and watch us stink it up with a dull and boring game plan.

Hes here for the $$$$

Nothing else

We were better under Bailey

Let's hope Goodwin doesn't get rubbed out by WADA and CAS.

[Pipefitter 2,168]

I'm done with him. Too defensive. When we are 4 goals down I have no faith at all to reel it back. Skills haven't improved at all. Been out coached many times. Recruiting has been ok, but teams like st kilda invested In youth and are already past us with a much brighter future.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

We have improved a lot, in a lot of areas both on and off field, sadly that will be an unpopular opinion.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

He should hand the friggin reigns over now. I'm sick of it & his excuses.

[Sir Why You Little 37,126]

How can AFL players have such poor basic skills??

10 seasons we have endured this absolute rubbish

I thought the skills of our list would be sorted out in the first preseason.

I have seen companies restructure and fire up in 2 months

10 seasons....Is anybody held accountable???

Please provide me with the evidence of where we have improved on the field. I need something right now. Please don't say we have one more win than last year.

He's got the Swans game on the TV in the box.

I would hand the reigns over to Goodwin at the end of the year and have Roos as a mentor couldn't be any worse

Goodwin isn't ready, but it would force him to be way more innovative than a boring Paul Roos.

[loges 6,767]

The improvement is so miniscule the fans have had enough

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Three weeks ago I would have laughed at this thread, but our last three weeks have been as bad as anything since Roos took over.

[olisik 4,060]

What shits me is he was in the media this week going on how we owe one to St Kilda. Only for us to get smashed. How about paying attention to getting the team to learn to attack rather then [censored] talking about opposition teams

[Demon Disciple 12,274]

Roos was preaching last year that we needed to sure up our defence. Well we have gone backwards in a big way for 2015 in this regard.

[Return to Glory 8,448]

Lacklustre at best

Our best this year is better than our best was last year.

Our worst, however, is still like it was last year - slow, meek, unskilled, lazy, lack of effort, no structure, just not a team. And that, IMO, is simply not good enough.

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

We have improved this year.

And we have now gone backward on that improvement.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,246]

Lacklustre at best

A masterful understatement RTG!

[Little Richard 6,265]

We were better under Bailey

Yeah, when we lost a game by 186 points?

Roos has his negatives and we knew what we were going to get after seeing the Swans playing in the early 2000's. He isn't the issue, and if you can't see improvement you are blind.

Edit: But we have been trash the last few weeks - I blame this on the players, who are the ones on the field missing handballs and kicks and making simple errors.

It would be just our luck to be on the hunt for a new coach because Goodwin is rubbed out.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Did St Kilda have a loose man in defence today? Hard to tell on TV.

7 rounds to go. Let's wait until the end of the year and then ask your questions. As I said in another thread, I remember when Bailey was sacked. The knives were out then but what was the point really? 5 rounds were left in the season and it hurt the team's performance rather than helping it. Need I say more about the following two years?

If we don't win another game for the season, then fine. Ask questions. I'm sure Roosy will be doing that himself. But talk of handing over to Goodwin now is hysterical.

Bailey had us winning 10 games a season with a weaker list
