For once I agree with Caro. THe gratest boost for the players and fans would be for Roos and Jackson to commit long term. Hoppefully pride in getting a job done will see this happen.

This post is going around in circles. Wines has had a great start but with a good start in a much better team. Toumpas is improving and still overcoming hip surgery last year. A lot more water needs to go under the bridge before conclusions can be drawn. in the meantime lets get off his back and support him as much as possible.

Here Here Ox. This is a no story dreamed up by a hack journo with nothing else to say.

There were heaps worse than Toumpas yesterday. Leave him alone.

It all comes from Grant Thomas, an embittered failure who loves to troll and snipe other people. Get over it Grant

The AFL do owe us. They get a fortune for broadcasting rights and it would do their image no good if one of their iconic sides would go under or vremain chronically non-competitive. Attendances are down so something needs to be done. I am sure under the current regime we would use the draft much more effectively. A pox on the house of Prendergast!

If Roos and Jackson cant resurrect this basket case of a club we may as well fold. Surely alarm bells are ringing at AFL headquarters. Disgrace we werent given a priority pick last year. I fear we may be Tassie bound.

Pederson is clearly only useful in the backline - looks a different player there

Full of admiration for Dunn. Has pulled his head in since his pornstar mo days and become disciplined and uses that good boot of his as an offensive weapon.

Like the tone of Roos press conference. Looks like things are going to get a whole tougher at training and the selection table

Hard to have a plan B with D grade players

I'll repeat what I said earlier. For the fans and team to hang in there Roos needs to show some solidarity and commit to 3 - 5 years. Stability and an expression of Hope would go along way at the moment.

6. Tyson 5. N.Jones 4. Dunn 3. Cross 2.Toumpas 1. Byrnes

I must admit to being disappointed in Fitzpatricks start to the year. Was hoping he could be a danger up forward. No marks No goals Not much good in the ruck. I understand Spencer is OK as a tap ruck man but is there any chance he could take a grab every now and again?

Gee Dunne is good these days. The recruits we got this year are good. Bail, M Jones and Terlich just not up to it

Bruce McAvenney. should have a laryngectomy

Who was subbed off?

Now is the time for Roos to show some ticker and commit to the full 3 years with the option of another 2

I think Frawley is a saboteur

Have been a defender of Watts but he can't exert any physical pressure. Looks like he's on Valium

I think Toumpas is improving each week.

Better structure with Pederson back and Dunne forward.

Split the indifference is pretty good.

The way things are I think it's more important to retain Dunne than Frawley

Like the look of Michie
