Was watching the Swans game, needs to be another crackdown on trainers lurking with intent. Conveniently standing in space giving messages to no one.

H has a bit of Wesley Snipes about him.

Devil man - Rob Zombie.

Dont be like that Nasher, you know that if Garland doesn't back it up next week we'll have the knives straight into his back.

Must be your shout BBO??

At what point is the coach held accountable??

Next week when Dawes returns does Frost go down back and Garland out?

I've got them in my multi BBO. We're out to $3.20, I'll take that.

Exactly, Grimes being dropped does not equal depth.

Its already a bust WYL. Dropped for first game is massive. Even if Salem has a disappointing game on the weekend we need to show him the same faith we've showed Grimes and co over the years.

Where is Nathan Carroll for 500.

Port is right up there. Danger to the Hawks. Hawks target certain experienced players but they also have some great young players coming through.

Great point Clint, 16 players inside one 50 metre arc should be able to fill the gaps and form a formidable defensive zone. Where would the opposition 17th and 18th player be? Around the top of the arc?I nominate JKH and Garlett.

Surely records were kept but later destroyed.

The old slip out the back door trick.

I shouldn't laugh but I find myself doing so.

Great point Lamashtu.

- so the main concern is Roos gameplan doesn't focus on attack. - yet a thread was started last week about Goodwin being behind our push for greater attack. - next year Goodwin starts to take on extra responsibilities as he prepares to become senior coach. What a bloody concept. Garlett Hogan JKH Howe Dawes Watts That line up could prove dangerous but needs everyone fit. Can Watts handle one of the top 2 opposition defenders? We need Dawes to play like he did against Adelaide last year every week. Is Howe's best position up forward? We keep forgetting this is Hogans first year. How would we look without Garlett? Just curious, are the people doubting Roos the same people that said how we now have so much depth three weeks ago?

For those against the Roos/Goodwin succession plan, who would you rather have? Realistically who's available? If your going to criticise at least offer up an alternative.

- Last year we won four games but led in the last qtr in another 6-7 including twice against Port. - Roos inherited a rabble, to suggest his heart is not in it is crap, if that were the case why did he sign for the third year? Having Goodwin on board gives us stability, something we haven't had in years. There will be a smooth transition between coaches rather then another one being sacked and the players not knowing who's going to coach them next. Can Goodwin coach? Who bloody knows, Hinkley was overlooked by several clubs before getting the gig at Port. I have more confidence now that McCartney is on board as I see him and Goodwin as more of a team then head coach/assistant. - Without Roos there's a fair chance we wouldn't have recruited everyone that we have over the last two years. - No doubt a large part Roos job description was to build the culture of the club from the ground up something that was always going to take a couple of years, I don't think we will see the full benefit of Roos work for a couple of years. - With regards to the game plan you can only work with what you've got, many people on here continue to overrate the list. It was only a couple of weeks ago that many posters on here were ranting about our new found depth. What depth? Let's look at our forward line - Hogan - effectively his first year. Dawes - take away the leadership aspect and his bone crunching tackles and he's not bringing much to the table, then you can argue about the delivery into the forward line but to be fair he does drop some simple marks. Watts - this is meant to be his brake out year. Here's bloody hoping. Howe - for mine must play up forward. We now other options in defence plus if the other three are playing he could prove to be a difficult matchup for the opposition. Garlett - we only just got him. JKH - second year player who looks the goods. Kent - third year player who looks the goods. We can't count any of last years draftees as depth. Add Howe, Vince, JKH ,(may of missed one) to the team and remove the dead wood and that's all we've got. We can't afford any injuries because our depth is non existent.

Kieran Foran announced a few days later he's off to Parramatta. That's the equivalent of us losing Jones and Tyson. I think we're already there aren't we? Star players not signing, only difference is they haven't announced a destination. From memory the last big name player to put a hold on talks before signing was Travis Cloke.

With which betting agency? Sportsbet had us at $1.48 - doggies $2.08

I understand the seriousness of drugs in society but I find this one quite amusing.

Obviously the message isn't getting through. If true big example needs to to be set.

A myth or a mess?
