Paul Roos now saying that May wasn't the only player who turned up unfit. His understanding that a few players turned up unfit which didn't please the coaching staff.... ?‍♂️

Oh and Dave Misson can just GTFO out now. Joel Smith, Steven May and then giving Jetta the all clear to play when CLEARLY he was completely underdone and hindered. 

Except that it's not Misson's responsibility to clear players to play or not.

But heh, facts.

Why in the hell would the read what is on this site, and don't tell me that Pert would read it for supporter backlash.

Well there it is. Roos has confirmed what most of us have been saying - that a substantial part of the list fronted up for preseason unfit. Someone has dropped the ball bigtime and needs to be held to account. It makes the Club look like a pack of amateurs. Completely inexcusable.

 

Pretty typical Melbourne really. Make a prelim and think “flag is in the bag I’ll go get wasted and fat in the pre season”. Our players are a pack of lazy amateurs if this is true. 

Jesus this club will never be successful will it? It’s just an endless cycle of misery and failure.

List is unfit and we are likely to be a bottom 4 side. Damning stuff from the ex-coach.

If true, Gawn must have been talking to himself during his B&F speech.

Fact.

No. Misson ticks off on fitness, not injuries. He's not a doctor.

Yet he does a weekly update on injuries? Which your saying is not his expertise..

Ok then.. ?

Can the players that had post-season surgeries be excused from returning unfit? Genuine question, not sure what programs they would be on while recovering in the off season unless all they did was drink.

Roos does bring that up in the article.

I think he is getting at the fact that some should have come back in better nick, while others weren't in a position to come back fit.

This is so disgusting. A pathetic club culture from the top down. I'll get howled down but imo the members should boycott at this stage. Totally unacceptable by Goodwin and co. And the players...?

There was so much turnover of staff and players during the Neeld and Roos years that I would have no idea who's left - but something is rotten at the heart of this club's culture

A simple solution would be for everyone to meet in person once a year and explain themselves. There are quite a few keyboard warriors who write stuff here that there is no way they would say in person. I'd suggest that before posting people should ask themselves if they would say in person what they are posting. 

Your sensibility is unwelcome

Lever may be ???

But the player we did not get with that other 1st Rnd pick,  never will be, for us.

 

I think from memory,  it would have been  'Higgins',  from my  'wanted list',  at least.

Higgins is ok but nothing special.
