...and if Roos applies the "Roos no small forwards unless you can play some mid time" policy then I think he has no hope of being at Melbourne.

It seems to go round in circles that one, read the same thing on here a few weeks to a month ago. Didn't believe it then, don't believe it now for the same reasons given by 'rpfc'.

Agree with you 'steve'. I hope we reselect him as a rookie or he works hard to get another opportunity. It's all in his hands now.

If only he had no guts and wasn't so gutsy...

I'm not as convinced but will trust Roos and the boys to make the right pick. I wouldn't be swayed by the combine results, you can really come unstuck here.

...and that was due to wisdom teeth being removed.

I hope we re draft Taggert as a rookie unless there are work rate issues with him, he has something to work with.

Scharenberg won't be there but if he was we would take him.

Bit of editing from the accountant 'tona'? Thought 'Robbo', he of the $100 bill is better than 3 $50's did the original addition.

Different story; the doggies have another couple of 30+'s in Boyd and Gia, in the end they couldn't justify another one in Cross unless they were a contender next year. Even the Cats who are contenders have had to make room on their list or would have lost a couple of good kids like Smedts and Horlin-Smith.

I don't know about Savage falling out with Clarkson, I don't see any evidence that he did, but I do know that Ball, fallen out or not was, is and always will be much better footballer than Nahas.

Yep, I would love to have been a fly on the wall in that room. It would have been a very interesting conversation.

No they weren't.

I admire Fitzy for working through his health problems, I also admire that he started to work harder at training but an elite trainer he isn't. 2 pre's ago he would have been our worst trainer, the coaches were consistently on his back about following up his kicks. He would kick the ball and jog off with no urgency. The pre season just gone you could see a lift in his urgency which he needed to do but as I say elite trainer he is a long way from being.

Great read, but really gives an insight into what Roos has ahead of him to rebuild the confidence in the players. A lot of work to be done and I'm really grateful that Jackson is there to oversee it, we would be totally screwed without him.

I would be very surprised if Scharenberg is not picked up by GWS at 2 and if he slips he won't get to Brisbane, the Pies will take him before that.

'Jack', he made comments about lies coming from the club. My guess is he was being fed rubbish under the new mob and he didn't like it. He certainly wasn't a CS fan, not on his own there.

Good get 'Dazzle'. The players are really lucky to have this guy in charge now.

...and Hutchy probably knows less about the game than Barrett. A couple of years back he had us as a top 4 powerhouse, well we can dream.

You might be right there 'rpfc', I thought it was a bit strange dreaming of Nahas playing for the dees. Sorry 'deeman', that's a good dream to have but make sure you can play in the midfield then drift forward to kick a few.

Roos has said mid and I agree with him, i think he will play mid and may drop across half back at times. I can see him being a taller Goddard. He has the skills and physical capabilities to do it, the rest is application (mental).

sounds more like a nightmare, you need to upgrade your dreams young fella.

Now that's funny, I thought Roos might have found out he is a closet midfielder.

Good thread 'Nasher', a few of us are off on a bit of a Box Hill tangent but it brings back a lot of good memories mate.

I reckon you were a year ahead of me 'Hood', but yeah Gary was doing the Howey thing every lunchtime on the oval.
