Jimmy is an interesting case, looks good at casey and in practice matches but the moment the tempo goes up he struggles, looks to me like a kid playing out of his depth at times. i'd love to see him develop into a really good player, and i think he might but i am starting to think maybe that won't be with us, his type of player is probably the cherry on top of a cake that we are still baking we need the raw ingrediants to take a shape, guys like brayshaw who chase, tackle and give effort regardless of the score

I reckon this is what is happening, Roos will make the tough calls, hopefully get rid of the blokes who aren't serious and take some hits knowing he isn't going to be sacked regardless, and hopefully hand over to Goodwin a list that can go somewhere, i think our best is pretty good, but we really have to stop these lapses

Just in response to the comparison between neeld and Roos In neelds year and a half in charge we won 6 games 5 against expansion sides who were easy beats Lost more than 10 games of 30 odd by 80 points or more Since Roos took over we have won 6 games, with only 2 80 point or more losses, beaten Richmond twice, the crows over there, the Suns, bombers and Carlton as well as seriously pushed the undefeated crows this year, port twice last year, the doggies twice last year and others So the improvement is there, and the comparison is ridiculous and a knee jerk response to a disappointing loss

Also a coach looking at the door can't be a good thing for the players, i feel he could only ever be 90% committed to the cause, how could you be more if you weren't desperate to stay

Roos is doing what McCartney did for the dogs, teaching them about defence and contested ball, beveridge took over a really well built foundation, Roos took over a train wreck i also think a lot of our ball movement issues are to do with blokes up the field not running hard enough to create options, and our ruckman and talls besides Jesse not being good enough to take a contested grab around the ground Goodwin will bring a more attacking flair to our game, he already has but he'll take over a team that knows how to defend, how to play finals footy and has some serious development into our young guys

Agreed Ron, but I didn't feel he ran hard enough to expose any lack of fitness anyways, maybe better to say he's looking forward to testing himself against chip

In: blokes willing to chase, tackle, fight and respect the jumper they're wearing. Out: anyone who isn't. In all seriousness though I reckon Brayshaw may need a spell this week, he looks a bit tired to me

Loved how he also said he'd try and expose chips lack of fitness only to lose the duel comprehensively.

Time to start playing for a priority pick??

Seemed like a don't you dare give up type thing

He basically said, beaten by a better team, extremely confident in our development program, believes our list will be in great shape when Goodwin takes over, jack watts is desperate to play senior footy for mfc but felt he was letting his mates down, hoping to bounce back

These idiots realise wada is exercising the same rights they did when they appealed the validity of the investigation in a desperate attempt to get off on a technicality and have evidence thrown out and failed miserably? Amazing really

Fremantle is the best for mine, they're blowing good Teams away then taking the foot off the pedal

It's his third year guys, He is a likeable kid but like most of our list he needs to step up and become an afl level player, no more excuses

Could be worse, we could be the Suns or blues

I'd say that's part of getting the list in the best shape possible clint

First coach sacked in 2015? Malthouse Hardwick Leppa Other? Surely Carlton have to make the move on Malthouse sooner rather than later

I still believe Roos has two main goals before the handover Teach us to defend and be accountable which were improving at And get this list in the best shape possible for Goodwin to take it somewhere, Remember he took over a team that was 2 wins 52% and 8 80 plus point losses in the one season

I think we are in for another serious turnover of players at years end. We have McCartney who I consider the best development coach in the Comp, trade some of these blokes out for whatever picks we can get and rebuild through the draft and actually develop these blokes, we have a core, but as good as cross, vince, Dawes, and co have been, they aren't in our next premiership side, they're bullet shields so our young blokes can develop

Oblivion here I come!

Look at shiels stats and games this year, he's that good..

10 plus blokes with under 30 games experience vs last years premiers It's not a huge surprise really

Roosy in tears in the box.. Taught a lesson in footy today

Roughy vs tmac is one I'm really looking forward too

7 mil for 7 years to Shiel?
