  1. He's scared to tackle!
  2. His greatest ever loss was against a Dean Bailey coached Melbourne team.
  3. I remember reading recently here someone who had spoken with a current player asked who they thought the next coach would be, their response (apparently very confidently) was Roos.
  4. Sylvia's fumbles have resulted in the last two Bulldog goals.
  5. I've stopped watching at half time, but in that half I saw Dunn half-hearted lay a tackle (first player I've seen scared to tackle) which resulted directly in two Bulldogs goals.
  6. Dunn is scared to tackle, never seen that in a player before.
  7. Does Tom McDonald know the basic rules, seriously?
  8. Dunn just squibbed laying a tackle. Pathetic.
  9. One of the more enjoyable quarters I've watched in a while. Grimes is 100 times better in defence.
  10. Please don't refer to anything Dwayne Russell says as gospel.
  11. Absolutely, there is core there, just not in the midfield.
  12. I still rate Whateley as one of the best football media performers, but this year he has annoyed me a lot.
  13. No, in the same episode he was adamant Roos would not coach next year.
  14. Not really, he has six million reasons to be happy with his choice.
  15. Does this mean that the Sub can now be scrapped?
  16. 50% more than two days ago.
  17. I decided long ago that Roos will just use the same nicknames as Sydney (because he knows no other names), so Trengove will probably be "Joey", Clark will be "Sammy Reid" and Frawley will be "Teddy".
  18. All the best David, and well done on a very good career. In that last game there was a distinct change in the game when he was subbed out.
  19. If we manage to get a couple of decent midfielders then I will start to believe. The core is there, unfortunately our biggest weakness is the most important part.
  20. The AFL came out and said that "resting" players did not constitute tanking.
  21. Not sure what the big deal is, last year Melbourne went to Opel's test track at Sandown (or somewhere like that).
  22. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this.
  23. I mentioned that left foot kick in another thread, that was just so stupid.
  24. I agree. This has been a problem for many Melbourne players; as a first year player they look quite good but as their experience increases their form stays the same.
  25. Isn't Swallow from WA?
