Re: Round 11 Discussion
There I was thinking Roosy is a god, but now I'm thinking the players aren't learning and living in the past... Then Roosy was going to get them the win, but now that Melbourne players are again stuck in the past...
Great finish, waiting to hear who Roos blames for the loss.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Round 11 Discussion
If anyone was unsure, we were watching two very young, developing teams out there today. Just ask the commentary team.
Especially liked the games of the 2 highest rated players from the Saints, young guns Montagna and Riewoldt. Their defence was also held up by young stars Fisher, Gilbert and Dempster.
Melbourne's rookies Jones, Vince and Cross were also super impressive.Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.Comment

Re: Round 11 Discussion
Oh, I like science. So his Ego for taking credit for only good performances is represented as 'E'. And Melbounre Coaches 'MC' beyond two years ago (2) previous are shite, so that's represented as 'MC2'. So the formula for credit or blame is E = MC2.
So the math supports your contention of credit for performance but blaming others for losing especially after a narrow loss when leading 20 seconds out.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Round 11 Discussion
The buck stops with Roos . Simple
You've hit the front with 40 seconds left, surely the players know how long there is, and to push back!
Did Alan Joyce coach that last minute?Comment

Re: Round 11 Discussion
Roos, who last week said the Demons suffered from an “inability to listen”, blamed the Demons' failure to put sufficient numbers behind the ball for the loss.
"We couldn't get it done by putting a number behind the ball or two numbers or three numbers," Roos said post-match.
"Normally, in those situations, that's what would happen.
"As a coach, you take responsibility. If you can't get it done, you can't get it done.”
Vince said he was unclear as to how much time was left after Howe's goal.
"You never know how long to go but there was only 24, 25 minutes gone. Personally, I thought there was at least ... 4-5 minutes to go and our runner was stuck on the field too, giving a message, so there's probably a number of things that went wrong in that last bit," he told ABC radio after the game.
"Ideally, we would have had someone or maybe even two guys go back. That didn't happen and it probably cost us."
Didn't get the message out, and it was a short quarter. Players probably should have been more aware but at the end of the day the coach has *!*!*!*!ed up.Comment

Re: Round 11 Discussion
Funny the Essendon supporters I know who were boasting how they stole a superstar from the AFL's minnows are the same Essendon supporters who now blame me for offloading an aging list clogger in Cooney. The wheel has certainly turned quickly.
I told them at the time they picked him up that we didn't want him, despite the media calling it a Hird coup, and I continue to tell them we still don't want him
