Just touched down in Melbourne and I'm bloody pumped. Massive chance today, good test for our midfield, break even or better there and the game is ours for the taking.

We won't know until an official announcement. Look at Buddy going to the Swans, the only person that picked that was the old lady who rang KB on Hungry for Sport.

All time favourite Mick Malthouse moment is when there's 2 minutes to go in the game, Carlton are getting flogged, the camera cuts to the coaches box so Mick decides to pick up his binoculars as if he's got one move left up his sleeve.

It wasn't that long ago that some people questioned the coaching appointments of Malthouse and Roos, citing both were merely topping up their super. Two very different story now.

Repeat post.

I was wrong about Pedo amongst others. I am happy to sit back and let those in charge do what they think is best for this club.

Need another big effort from him on Monday. No doubt he will deliver, now for 200 games.

I've missed something, since when is Adelaide in their premiership window ?

Exactly.....I didn't realise he was a big game player as some on here would have us believe .

No we don't, and as much as I don't like assumptions we can only assume the club thought it was fair as did Dunn.

I also thought that was the case but during an interview a few weeks back he talked about setting himself up, not knowing when your career could end and making the most of it. To me it sounded like money was now the driving force. As I said about Dunn, the club will offer him a fair contract, that fact we are on the up is a bonus. Now it's up to him.

What I mean by "holding the cards" is Roos won't be held to ransom by anyone. Previous coaches would have buckled to demands of the likes of Sylvia and co. Successful clubs have the ability to say here's you're offer, it's a fair one, over to you.

Good point, I would like to think that Roos has mapped out the next couple of years in terms of types of players and the size of contracts.

My point is hopefully we have eliminated to certain extent the game playing aspect of contract negotiations. If you perform consistently you will be offered a contract that reflects that performance. It all starts with players having to earn their spot in the side and not being gifted games like we have done in the past.

Can't wait for Monday.

Great news for the club. The question is why did he sign so soon? The club is in a stronger position and rewards players with contracts that reflect their true worth. Getting back to a position where the club calls the shots and not the players.

Anyone know what the odds were before the first bounce?

Giving players a role, installing confidence, not being reactionary at the selection table. Simple enough but bloody effective.

Finally we got one right.

Roos ability to get the best out of players- Pedo, Bail, Jetta. A lot of people including myself didn't hold much hope for those three before Roos took over. Big chance next week.

Dawes has taken his game to a new level since joining us. His fierce bone crunching tackles being one example .

Pay the free kick, that's all it warranted.

we should be 7&2 and sitting 2nd on the ladder.

Jordie playing AFL for this club again = us taking a backwards step. I've heard and seen all the pros and cons before. Staggered that his name gets brought up.
