Sack everyone (mega-thread)
Chaplin was not a Roos choice..theres a difference. He was a Goodwin selection. Roos allowed Goodwin to assemble his own team. In the end...any of the assistants are only there to do the coach's bidding

Not on it's edge ...plunged deeply I'd suggest

Operation get rid of Oscar and ANB!
Correct. Not all players.. but as a team yes. I wonder why that is ? ???

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Essendon
What if what they're asked to buy is plainly rubbish ? So you've arrived at Jonestown....and after a while you realise things are no quite as the were purported ? Someone starts handing out the Koolaid .. I know..an overly dramatic allegory. My point is...maybe some players have more intuitive footy sense than the coaches ?

Gary Pert?
The alternative is blindingly obvious. You wait a little...proceed with a little caution. I shall repeat what I said earlier. You needn't have waited til season's end but maybe let the year start and see where it's going ( currently downhill out the backdoor at an alarming rate ). . There's nothing new or overly clever about such strategy. Just prudent.

Gary Pert?
No one is suggesting waiting til the end of the season. We panicked.

Port game only looks better because they couldn't hit the barn most of the game. We were useless defensively that day too.

The Need for Outside Midfielders
Absolutely agree. Currently we are dead in the water. Might find my skis...

The Need for Outside Midfielders
And we knew all of this before the first bounce.... totally validated by the last. Sadly, imho, it won't matter who we play (our list ) as long as your opening comment resonates Souffles are not made with soup recipes

Mathews ...stoppages McPherson... Football operations. A lot of people are Not Roos' people Hird should never be allowed near any sport EVER again. Lyon has done enough for us...he can stop.

No not directly. It was Pert who signed ( re-signed ) Goodwin with unnecessary haste.- Changes vs Swans R4
Or might just be underdone and has been brought in to provide some skill....or he's not. So hard to tell at Melbourne !!!- Sack everyone (mega-thread)
Our style...for want of a better word ...of football only worked (sic) whilst opposition allowed it. Once teams twigged...they deny us our game and play theirs. We are so dumb we just keep going our way...but are no longer relevant as better ( probably at a count of 17 now ) teams have worked us out Sadly the FD hasn't worked out that we've been worked out.- POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Essendon
- The Writing Was/Is on the Wall
The Melbourne brand of footy ... As designed by the FD I see similarity... except....a Camel is actually useful. Imho...a lot of our situation is by decree. We've set out to play a particular style. It invariably ignores/over-rides/ dispenses-with any inherent footy nous of our players and replaced it with a draconian nonsense that is easily picked apart. Some players are indeed woeful, but many are simply incapable of playing a game style which itself is incapable of sustainability. We play rubbish.....by design.- Changes vs Swans R4
Changes ?? Out Melbourne....in Collingwood...they know how to play the game. We sure as hell don't. I need to shower now...- Changes vs Swans R4
Changes for next week ? Too vast a job...with far too little to choose from.- Sack everyone (mega-thread)
We got the wrong one.... should have gone for Charlie. At least it would have been entertaining.- POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Essendon
More than one Elephant- POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Essendon
A lot of our game is just too amateurish. I think from recollection you also expected a poor result. It's rather numbing. - Gary Pert?
