Re: Jordan Roughead
I was certainly in the minority, but actually felt that a fair portion of Roughead's best footy for us was as a tall defender. He played the role in the worst of times, where the defenders were getting exposed by us being poor defensively in the middle when Griff, Coons & Higgins - and to a certain extent Boyd, were all ball hunters and didn't defend, and the ball was coming in pretty easily. Thought Rough battled along pretty well most of the time despite this.
Easy to say in hindsight, but the way the game is being played at the moment, where apart from centre stoppages - teams move the ball via a series of short kicks, and then end up going in long and high - Roughead is quite well suited.

They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Is it going to take someone like Bont (ala Griff in 2014) to express the need for a new environment till we actually review what's happening?
Ten years at the club was struggling to get a game, we obviously didn’t rate him or he would have been playing and offered a bigger contract.
Stringer and Dahlhaus completely different, although I do think Luke needed to change.
And to be honest we weren’t really interested in keeping any that left or we would have signed them earlier and with a decent contract.
Bring back the biff

Both Roughy and Dahl have had the big advantage of walking into top teams which makes an enormous difference. We will always rate them highly as Premiership players

Re: Jordan Roughead
Roughy sour grapes? Assuming he is having a dig which I'm not convinced he is. I mean what's e going to say I was crap or I wasn't rated? Wasn't rated by Bevo or is not in future plans so was pushed out. Let's face it he was floundering and we lament list cloggers. Strange to bring in Hayes but there you go we clearly wanted running depth.
Glad he's doing well.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

I just like to hear two sides to every story. Anything wrong with that.
So we flatly dismiss anything that the club chooses not to respond to.
You'd struggle to find a better clubman than Jordan Roughead. He was a dependable leader and a positive influence on our playing group.
There's nothing wrong with wanting two sides to every story. There's plenty wrong with being so dismissive of someone of Jordan's character.

Really????
Who is being dismissive of Jordans character?
I just take articles in the paper with a grain of salt.

Have your own opinion but don't put down other people's opinion.

Re: Jordan Roughead
There's a bitter irony in a bloke being deemed not good enough for a bottom-four club but being plenty good enough for a likely premier.
I too felt Roughy was just getting by with us and yes life's easier with more quality around you but it makes you ponder the talent we're squandering purely because we're shithouse.
I hope Roughy adds another premiership medallion to his collection this year.
It'll also mean the Cats don't.
Win win.

I might buy a Collingwood jumper for the day if it means supporting anyone other than Geelong.
