Chook

Yeah. I was being a little comical there. "What is he talking about" is definitely more accurate, and you're right--it does show how far back we are. At least Roos has the runs on the board to get us past all that. I'm sure crap like this is one of the reasons Mark Neeld was such a "bad" coach; our players just didn't respect him enough to trust that he knew what he was talking about.

Here's the vision of Paul Roos talking to Jack Watts and Jeremy Howe last night: You can see the pure exasparation on Paul Roos face as he's walking away. You can also see Jeremy Howe turn around as if to say: "Who the hell are you to tell me what to do? I can take a speccie! Can you?"

Nah. I save my abuse for demonland. I'd never do it face to face, but unlike you I understand those who do.

How Jack Watts feels about everyone who asks him to run and chase and put his body on the line: http://youtu.be/pfevBIsVG1o?t=40s

Jack Watts is embarrassing Melbourne supporters. He's the one who should be ashamed. It's the least he can do when he's on so much money.

I think it would be good for Paul Roos to drop both Jack Watts and Jeremy Howe, and tell them candidly why they're so toxic to our team right now. I would never take this approach if it were only one or the other of them, but dropping them both would create a bit of solidarity between them and stop them from feeling singled out or treated unfairly. This way they could both work together on the weaknesses in their games, and push each other to get back into the side.

Watt & Howe. Where? Casey. Dunn.

PAUL ROOS: "I think the effort was great, from 80% of the team." I wonder who he thinks didn't put in...

Jack Watts desperately needs to be dropped. Not to send a message, but simply because he's not in our best 22.

Need I remind you that this is ANZAC round. I think if our fathers and grandfathers can serve in battle and come back to tell the tale, Jack Watts can get over the "indignancy" of being given the opportunity to participate in the Queens Birthday game at the age of 18.

The most embarassing team you've ever seen was Melbourne c.2013 This team would wipe the floor with that one.

Salem lays a brilliant tackle. Sydney player throws it to himself, then handpasses. Play on.

There's only so much you can take as a supporter, GD.

And he won't be. He'll be Roosified instead.

SALEM!!! That's how you do it, son!

Roosy pulled Jeremy Howe and Jack Watts aside at three quarter time and had some stern words for them.

Jones, Pedo, Terlich, Tyson keeping us in this.

Dawes crunched by two Sydney players not going for the ball. Play on.

How was Burns ever going to kick that goal? Set it up, or else you're just going to give them the ball straight back. PS Sydney may have a severely reduced bench. If we were closer, that might have been relevant.

Oh look, Hannebury throws the ball away just like Pedo. Play on.

Incorrect disposal apparently only applies to Melbourne.

JKH cool as you like in traffic gives it off and Dom Tyson gets the goal back.

Good mark from Jack Watts. Doesn't hit Frawley, but we can't be asking TOO much of young Jack.

Actually, now that I think about it he'd probably pull a Max Klinger and start dressing in drag to get a Section 8 psychiatric discharge.

On ANZAC weekend, I'm going to go ahead and say that Jack Watts would be a monty to survive several major wars completely unininjured.
