Roos said, and I quote, "the list isn't actually too bad" in the lead up to his appointment. Eighteen months later and 50% of the list has been turned over and he's still harking back to the days of old and using the excuse that the older players could still be mentally scarred. Come off it, Roosy.

Are you speaking for everyone or just yourself?Ed: great to see you back and adding your valuable contributions.

What's the mail you guys have that says he won't be dropped. It would have to be a very good reason with Hogan right to come back in and Pedersen playing as well as he did last game.

I don't think you're 'write'.

Does anyone know if Burgo has run over Dave Missons cat? Poor old Burgo, it's a bit like pulling teeth interviewing that wet blanket.

And he went to the trouble of telling the media that due to his great pre season it will translate into a good year for him. Do yourself a favour Dawesy. Shut your trap until you actually have some form behind you.

Dawes deserves dropping for running his mouth off alone and then backing it up with a pisspoor game.He's out of touch and I don't think will regain any against the Dogs given how they're travelling.

When you know that your team isn't going to get the 4 points, DT points are everything.

Are you related by any chance?

Isn't Harmes still on the rookie list and at this point in time can only be elevated in place of a long term injury?

Get a grip mate.

And while the raising the draft age debate might sort a few of cases like Toumpas and Morton et al, you're always going to have players that just don't make it. I realise drafting elite juniors doesn't always translate into elite AFL level players but give me a well built and strong kid who hits packs and wrenches the footy out any day of the week.

The term 'outside mid' has no credibility in today's game. Draft young kids that are hard and win contested footy and develop them into players that can run and spread with speed to suit.

Out: Roos In: Goodwin Roos job at mitigating the avalanche of goals from box was pisspoor, as was his press conference full of excuses and rhetoric.

What's Dawes contract status? I would gladly see him go, limited ability. Keep Watts, he's only 24, it's all between the ears.

Did anyone else notice his lame attempt at the marking contest where Pedo got the bit of a ride (and subsequently missed with the short kick)? Dawes came in from the side with no intent whatsoever of contesting for that mark. Arms were spread a mile apart and he had no idea.

A much better flogging than what was on the tele today.

I spent $178.15 at Woolies.

3 - 4 weeks for Salem. FMD. I'm going grocery shopping.

Oh my god seeing Neitz in the Hawks box is nauseating.

Exactly. The Hawks just shrug our tacklers off or eventually shake them. If we can't manage to put some muscle into our tackling we will be an absolute laughing stock.

Garlands brain fades always result in goals.

Or to start drinking...

I bet he's played 100 more AFL games than you.

I really hope Dawes plays well today and at least hits the scoreboard.. If he can't back his words up with an acceptable individual performance then he deserves everything the Hawks players will give.
