Not just last night 'steve', I don't think he gives us anywhere near enough on the ground. I'm also not happy about him getting stuck into JKH about burning him and then doing the same thing himself on numerous occasions.

How much is a premiership worth?

Catch 22 'Munga' , and it's slipping away from us. If Roos doesn't turn things around we are shot.

I've been working tonight so have only seen bits of the game but noticed a post on Dom Barry and being scared. I think it is unfair to label him that but there has been no doubt when he first arrived and I watched him at training that he really didn't know what to do when faced with a player coming the other way. The physical part of the game was foreign to him. His reports from Casey consistently say he gets around the contest but doesn't get into it. It's why his stats are low. The coaching staff must be confident they can turn him around, that's the only reason I can see for him getting a new contract. I'm not convinced they can. I hope I'm wrong.

Me too...I would add a few more to the list.

If we don't we are dead in the water, as per your previous post and I fear that's what we are. Finishing middle for a few years then dropping back with no premiership success to generate new members. We have to have a go at it or we whither and die.

One of the strangest decisions of the season against Brock for bumping too hard.

He's not worth that much, a really good player but not a game changer and that's what that money demands.

Not much doubt he can play but the rest of the package is not so appealing.

Port probably do more than us, we need some blokes with Port's attributes.

The other side of this is apparently 'Patty Dangers' disposal wasn't so hot as a junior, and he hasn't turned out too badly. This is where the recruiters really earn their money.

Wouldn't be disappointed with Laverde.

Have to agree with you here, it will be a very interesting off season to see how we address some of this. As you say it's not a quick fix. We are coming from a long way back.

The jury is still out here 'steve', no runs on the board yet although the Tyson/Salem deal looks promising.

Tend to agree 'jumbo', he has good hands when on but otherwise doesn't seem to have a lot more going for him and as you say, goes missing.

Could be the pick that everyone wonders why he went that late, then again he might not. Hope our recruiters are all over him.

Some 40 plus games, the media attention he brought to the club giving it a face in an NRL environment not to mention his leadership off the ground and his work to settle Bennell which can't be underestimated. Yep, I think you are right.

...a lot more skill but I will take your word on the rest. Next...

Yep, us and them and trailing behind were Richmond. How to stuff a football club...

Trade our first pick for him?

'BB', I think he's struggled to establish himself as an AFL footballer so to me he is no different in that regard to a couple that Neeld picked up. I think we can do better and sure hope we do... If it's players for a couple more years with good leadership then another Cross would be the answer. I would rather us go a Ball or ROK and I can't see that happening.

I've already posted the link above 'dazzle'. Cheers...

I would really love to see this go to court, I think it's the only way we will get close to the truth. For that reason I very much doubt it will go to court.
