Some serious questions asked about Paul Roos ...

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.

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.

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???

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Megg

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.
