Roos on SEN, Fri Jun 10

Featured Replies

Posted

Roos was on SEN last night and many current thread topics came up.  Too many to post to individually so here is an overview of the topics. Disclaimer:  as Roos is apt to talk in riddles this is not ‘verbatim’ and is my take on what he said. 

Season so far – preseason goal was to reduce the gap between our best and our worst; to be more consistent and they are pretty happy with that.  (I would have liked someone on the panel to follow up with a few with more questions).

TMc contract – Said all players are different; he seems committed to the club and is confident TMc will stay.  When asked about player Managers he didn’t discuss TMc directly.  Said players are now more likely to put feelers out to see what they can get at other clubs.  Can’t say whether ‘feelers’ are player or manager driven. 

Went on to say that it takes roughly a 20% premium to entice a player to leave a club.  Club's can’t pay players 20% premium or breach salary cap.  Said MFC do not want to pay overs as has happened in the past.  Then said good (I guess he means successful) clubs play unders.  We want to pay fair market value, not overs. (Not surprised by this as he and Mahoney have said similar before and I guess OOC players are hearing this message inside the club as well).

JV and QB game:  Cleared by medicos, will wait and see how training goes this morning.  (Probably decided by now).

Garlett omission – Not dropped due to the highly publicised ‘incident’.  Said he had been a bit off and there are areas he needs to work on (didn’t say what they were).  Hopes he can get back (like Kennedy) as he is an important part of our team.  (I assume Roos means next week vs Swans).

Hibberd – ‘Pregnant pause’! ...Ahhhh...! Caught by surprise!  Mumbled about yeah he goes to list management meetings, Michael has been discussed but didn’t know at what level it has got to.  (My take on this last bit is that it is a work in progress).  When pushed about Hibberd being ‘a good fit’ he said something like ‘…he clearly comes from…Goody has seen him play…’  Not sure what was said off microphone but Rohan Connolly (an Ess supporter) piped up with ‘…Roosy, hands off – he is a required player…’  Sounded to me like Hibberd could well be at the Dees next year!

Transition to Goodwin:  Said Goody is fantastic!  The goal was to put a good coaching team around him and this has been achieved.  He then said Goody will get terrific experience like he did in the NAB cup.  (Not sure if he meant next year but wouldn’t be surprised if Goodwin coaches some games in his own right later in the season).  Looks forward to following the Dees progress over the coming years.l

Great work mate! Those of us outside the country appreciate reports like these!

Absolutely we do,

 

Lots of strings to Goody's bow. Could be some revelations to come.

I am super confident we will pick up one of the 2 Michael H's from Essendrug...

Just not sure which one yet...

I agree - we've got too many [censored] Jacks - lets even it up with more Michaels

Would love Hurley, but think we have bigger needs than Hibberd and feel that chasing him could affect our chances of getting others and keeping others.

Moving there shortly. How do you go finding a screen for the games?

Depends where you are moving. In Amsterdam there's the Australian pub "Coco's" which is as terrible as it sounds but plays them. Always really early though so best thing is to get the AFL Global pass, as long as you can reason giving money to such a corrupt organisation, which I do, cos I love my footy and can watch it without getting out of bed.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
