Paul Roos : "At least the players are trying"

[Je Roos Salem 661]

I think I'll spare the pain of watching these Roos (de)pressers

I wanted to throw a brick through my television after the 10th time a player in the forward 50, with a clean shot of goal, instead chose to handball to a player on the wing at a worse angle. Naturally, they then either A) have a kick for goal but sprays it or B) gets tackled immediately, forcing a stoppage.

Our players are simply incapable of separating "smart play" from "team play." They don't make smart decisions and everyone seems to second guess themselves with the most simple decisions.

C) Said player completely missed the [censored] target altogether ---> Turnover ---> Goal (other end)

Should we close this thread seeing I misquoted Roos? Probaly best . There's enough threads to cover this stuff

I still don't understand why we rushed in to secure Goodwin. I'm not saying he won't be great, but who is to say another flag this year for Clarkson and the lure of bringing MFC back into the light, coupled with bags of cash, wouldn't be tempting?

We gave up too easily on Dew and haven't pursued a Hawthorn man hard enough IMHO.

I hope like hell I'm wrong. But 5 more years of this shizen?! No thanks!

Agree.

can't see why we wanted Goodwin. From what Ive heard Roos say he's really excited about the opportunity to learn. [censored] that we need a coach who can coach not someone who's excited about his opportunity so he can learn. The appointment of Goodwin makes no sense to me. i believe Goodwin has his eyes on Adelaide.

PJ should get real and go after Clarkson. Roos was an average appointment, a guy who didn't really want to be here and Goodwin will prove the same. We need King Hit Clarkson.

Agree, Munga. There's an active thread on Roos anyway.
