Wow, what a change in 3yrs. Only TMac, Nathan Jones, Bernie Vince and Jack Watts from Roos' 1st game. That is a huge turnover of players.

And of those in Roos team, I think I could only say that Tyson, Cross, Frawley and maybe Howe (as each was playing then) might make it into Goodwin's team.

Wow I knew there had been some big changes but only four played on Saturday from Roos team.

That says it all for me.

At the start of 2014 we had a VFL quality team now we have a good list.

Frawley is the only loss. He really did hurt the backline when he left, as much as I love Gus. 

Amazing difference.

So many questionable names in Roos' first game.

He mustn't have had much confidence going into that game.

Frawley, Rance, Talia or a defender of that ilk would complete our list

If Talia was open to a move, and I doubt he is, I would throw everything at him. 

Wow. Roos must have thought he was being paid well to coach in the VFL. What a shocking team that was.

You are right $1.5 million is not a bad cop for coaching Casey seniors Mb38

Yes old Dee, we could happily retire or live in luxury for the rest of our single malt days.

An obscene amount of money. but such is the way in this degraded society. 

However, without Roos we would be nowhere.

His appointment was the essential foundation stone for the new footy department and the beginning of change.

Sure there have been a lot of other reasons, but Roos appointment was a watershed moment.

Just like Hogan's decision to remain at Melbourne, and, a little later, Jordyn Lewis coming across from the Hawks. Not only manifestly important but also symbolic of the change.

And hopefully Goodwin will reap the benefits by adding his mark.

No love for TMac LDC?

With all those high draft picks we assembled a VFL side, including Gysberts, Morton and Cook. 

I actually feel some sympathy for Neeld. 

Regardless of his gameplan or methods, he had no chance in hell of success

My error. I just forgot to include him. I hope Tom doesn't read Demonland or he may never forgive me.

And yet we probably should have won it. I reckon we would have had Tommy Mac not got injured.

I reckon we're one midfielder short too. 

I miss Alex Georgiou.

I only viewed him from afar, thought he was ok... what were his deficits?

Thanks for the reminder. I completely forgot Georgiou even existed! 

Christ all mighty. 

 

I'm proud of myself for not giving up there and then looking at that list.

I wonder, if you could put a team together of the players who didn't make it onto the field in Round 1 for Goodwin, would it still be competitive against the round 1 from 3 years ago?

F:          Kennedy-Harris      Hulett           Kent

HF:        Vandenberg        Pederson       Johnstone

C:          Bugg                Kennedy               Hibberd

HB:         Wagner            Garland            White

B:          Keilty                  Frost               Harmes

FOLL:    Spencer      Trengove      Tyson

Bench: Filipovic, McKenna, Maynard, T Smith

 

Geebus, it's not that far off.

While i agree with you it has to be noted the loss of frawley did bring in brayshaw.

While kpds are a hot topic at demonland atm I'm still happy with the above outcome

A questionable sense of humour and standing too close to Jack Viney.

God damn that Roos side is awful.
