Anyone know what the status is with Garland's contract?

IMO he has gone under the radar this year, as he has played on some good players when they've gone forward and done alright.

It's round 4.

Everyone have a bex and a lie down.

Lol, I'm sure whatever optimism we have right now is going to be shattered after our next three matches.

Terrible thread.

Please change the name of the thread at the least so you don't jinx us.

Walsh said something very closely along the lines of: "back in my day, a player doing what vince was doing would've left the field on a stretcher."

I quite like Walsh though. He's anything but boring. But today's comments regarding the vince tag was lame

I loved Vince's job on Dangerfield.

I don't see the issue with what Walsh said though. I prob agree with him to an extent - years ago a lot of players would have whacked Vince for his tagging actions. It's just a different game now and Walsh acknowledges that.

Seriously, smash them????

You must be watching different teams.

He brings a contest and forward pressure, but he is a number 2 forward. IMO he doesn't have the speed or hands to be a number 1.

Unfortunately we're asking and paying for him to be our no.1.

Have heard from a close source to jack grimes that he and roos don't see eye to eye and wouldn't be suprised if he is moved on at seasons end

What, Grimes thinks he can kick and Roos doesn't?

Yes, it was disappointing.

Yes, we should have stopped the flow on of goals.

Yes, our leaders should have but didn't stand up.

Yes, our team will learn from this.

Yes, i still have faith in our direction.

Keep the faith fellow supporters, we will lose matches.

It's funny cause GWS supporters think they should win; and we think we should win. It'll be an interesting game today...

I think they're right and they'll win today. They are a pretty good team and playing with confidence.

I woke up this morning and thought it feels strange to be going to the footy and its actually back. But im excited and geez its a perfect day out there. I just hope at the end of the day im not feeling deflated and frustrated.

No excuses for a poor crowd today.

Except for the fact it's Easter holidays and half of Melbourne's population (incl myself) have gone away for the weekend.

Fwiw, I think we'll put in a good performance but won't come away with the cookies.

would that be the Roos that doesn't watch Casey

Wow.....

Maybe PJ should have appointed you the head coach.

I have admit being pleased at the decision to drop him. Shows we're evolving and making players accountable - and most importantly that includes our leadership group.

Been a very long time since that has happened at our club.

It is in stereo with Robbo to the left and Dom to the right, so if you're hearing much more of one than the other, the problem is in your playback. If you can adjust your computer to hear equal amounts of left and right, the balance will be good.

Though not really a "roast", I enjoyed the relaxed kicking & handball conversation. Robbo didn't have to move his hands.

How did he handball if he didn't move his hands......

Sorry, really couldn't help myself

Wayne Carey tips Melbourne, Brown think it will only be a close loss. Not bad...You can even tell from Dixson's fist pump, that he is tipping Melbourne. What's wrong with these guys?

They must be sniffing some good shite!

I must admit, I'm not comfortable with a person coming back from a hamstring strain being the sub. Seems like a recipe for a recurrence given the inability to be properly warmed up when called upon.

Of course, I'm not a medical or sports science professional so my concerns may be completely unfounded.

Unless he was named on the field and then got subbed off....more comfortable now

I'm with Wiseblood on his opinion on Fitzy.I dare say we would also agree with our thoughts on McKenzie,Spencer,Bail & Jones.But lets save that for another thread.

Sshhh, don't let Saty know that you have thoughts also.....he'll try to shoot them down also, then say "everyone's allowed to think for themselves".

I understand people have opinions, based on many things, like Bill Shorten would make a better Prime Minister, but I love some of the he is a spud, he's no good etc, that then come back to haunt, Nev Jetta and Lynden Dunn spring to mind, but we also now have Stef Martin as a mistake when a lot on here couldn't get rid of him fast enough

I have opinions on many players, but I keep them to myself, because I am not on an AFL coaching panel, so I don't have the opportunity to work with and analyse players every day, I only get to see them on match day, but I also have faith in the club that down the track they will 'do the right thing' and move on any players they don't think will cut it, in their opinion

Seriously mate are you for real? Who made you gods gift to a football forum site.

You say you understand that everyone has an opinion, then don't shoot people down for expressing it. After all 'our opinion' is why most of us come on this site - to express themselves and to also vent.

PJ and Barretts' speech is on the site, but does anyone know why they don't put up Roos' speech also? They did the same thing after the AGM.

Billy, no he has just had rotten luck with illness and injury, he finally did his first full pre season this year and then got a virus that put him in bed for a week, just before the first NAB game, at least he can laugh about it.

He knows this is a make or break year, so of course if they suggest a move to full back, he is going to take it and give it the best he can

I'm a little confused on why all of a sudden when the season is about to start is he being "trialled down back".

A nice little battering ram in the middle maybe?

I like, I like a lot

It's a NAB cup match settle down everyone, sheesh.

Better getting this crap out of our system now.

At the ground now and have a feeling we'll lose. I think it's years of conditioning losing the unloseable :/

Winning two in a row, tell them they're dreaming.

Anyone know why Pedo isn't playing. I would have thought given Dawes is out Rd 1, that Pedo would need the game time.....

This is not news, Barrett must be desperate. " BREAKING NEWS" today Chris judd seen washing his car

Exactly.

To think he has had the whole off season to find a story and he produces this rubbish, shows you how good he really is.

Jonesy is supposedly going to be on SEN shortly to discuss the 2015 season.
