So following your line of thinking - with a percentage of 56% last year - Leigh Brown deserves to go but equally so does Rawlings ? Please advise if you want Todd Viney gone - he is in charge of player development and strategy - you must surely rate him the worst of all in the football department - considering we have had no strategy since his arrival and players development has gone backwards ? Edit - if we are to judge anyone in the club with the same insight displayed on here then after the last two years absolutely no one would survive.

You have hit the nail on the head. Have a look at the Stats sheets from any game and you will see that most scores come from turnovers. No game plan, no defensive setup no amount of coaching on positioning or setups is going to help if you don't have the basic skills NOT to turn the ball over. So I am happy to tear a new one to our skills coach or even our recruiting staff that drafted players that cant dispose of a football. But a strategic genius is not going to help us if we constantly give the ball back to the opponents.

Fixed your equation for you ( (BR(x%) + Head Coach(y%)) failed to fix skills, or fix defensive zones, (BR(x%) + Head Coach(y%)) x 95% crap midfielders

Max Gawn to be my personal minder and press floor 77 on the Eureka Tower lift because I am too short to reach.

I was sitting in the front row on the boundary and a pack formed right on the boundary line and Jack was sitting in the seat next to me waiting for the ball to come out.

Who will Roos turn from spud to delicious curly fries next year ? I'll kick off. Pederson to become our Ted Richards.

Hey OD - seems like your dark cloud is starting to lift - and unless I am mistaken can I also detect the beginning of a little thing called optimism ?

Dale Weightman was a great rover and also a vindictive fellow - didnt matter how big you were, he would hit you ( behind play)

Would I be overreaching suggesting similar to Marc Murphy ?

Agreed...I liken Royal's task in coaching our midfield to that wonderful line from the film Christine - "you cant polish a turd". Roos was always going to bring his own people in. Does Roos know how good BR is or isnt in the two days he has been with us ? I suspect he has asked people with knowledge prior to his in the club if there are any coaches that are really worth keeping hence it looks like Rawlings is the only one who is staying. If anyone outside the inner sanctum would like to judge our assistants coaches - every one of them including Rawling should go and Viney as well for the complete lack of development. Lets get rid of the new recruiter as well because Toumpas hasnt done as well as Wines. Misson certainly has to go. Glad Craig is goingto after our last two seasons. I find it amusing that we stick the boots into Royal but we give respect to Craig as he comes across as a good bloke - but the main reason Craig was brought in was to mentor, council and and help mould the first time coach in Neeld - how did he do with that task ? From an outsiders perspective Craig was as epic a fail as Royal was. I think we have little insight to these things and if Roos wants them to stay thats good and if he wants them gone thats also good - but I won't slag off any of the departing.

For the love of god someone get us a good midfield.

If the AFLcommission decide not to award us a priority pick then I will stop paying taxes. When the ATO come after me I will use the AFL as the precedent - "for many years I have paid taxes to successive Governments and they have just [censored] my dollars up against the wall. Therefore I am drawing the line in the sand and saying that this Government must stand on it own two feet and will no longer get handouts in the form of tax dollars from me"

Die for the jumper ? Do you want to rethink that ? As bad as Neeld may have been he had choices to make like every other footballer on our list (read Nathan Jones) and he voted very loud and clear NOT to die for the jumper.

Who were the eight Dees that Roos spoke to?
nutbean replied to Deespicable's topic in Melbourne Demons
He can commit all he wants but unless that team is GWS or he is prepared to leave to go to a team down the bottom of the ladder then the team he may have committed to has to deal with s favourably. -
I actually agree with PJ. My expectation is very high and I don't mean about how many wins next year. I see this appointment ( and indeed the appointment of PJ) as a redefinition of the once mighty, but recently irrelevant MFC.

To Satyr....Here is why you need to get excited - follow my warped logic. Whilst so many on here blame Neeld for our current state I believe the players need to shoulder a great deal of the blame partly for an absence of talent but mainly for an absence of application. We now have secured one of the mostly highly credentialed coaches of the last decade. Not only for his coaching methods but also his culture changing ways and everything he brings to the table (player destination and sponsors ?) To jump into WYL's camp, if this doesn't work then we are truly stuffed. So I embrace Paul Roos and believe he will improve our current list immeasurably and attract new players to further improve us with every fibre of my body because it is either that or I will have to start watching a different sport. ( and after thought - I also embrace PJ as the worlds leading CEO for the same reasons as above)
