    Fair enough. The media seem to be paying a fair bit of attention to Roosy. Perhaps there will finally be a coach with a slightly less radical view than Malthouse/Sheedy getting a run.

      "If Carlton beat us, they've beat us. It's no great drama for us," Roos said
      Hmmmm reading that comment here by itself makes Roos sound a bit half arsed, so go read the full article :lol

      But it's a great comment and should appease those who are overly worried after the Brisbane game.

      It is clear that Roos does not care what we do in the Wizard cup, and that as far as he's concerned, he's happy to play practise games and give the young guys some time.

      He has a plan and he's sticking to it.
      The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

        well obviously PR is of the opinion that the entire preseason is simply a way to prepare yourself for the h&a season. Sounds good to me!

        Give the kids a bit of game-time, and play the players who could use a bit of a hit-out. Maybe use the last week or two of the pre-season refining tactics for the first round.

        177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

          The Swans squad for the Carlton is listed in the SMH today. NO RUCKMEN ARE INCLUDED AND THE SQUAD LOOKS LIKE A PACK OF MIDGETS. Is Meiklejohn also injured? If not , I think that his inclusion would have been a good idea with no other ruckmen playing . He went OK against Essendon but has not played since . I hope that he does get not treated the same as Mott.

              Meiklejohn must be injured. Roos isn't scared of playing the kids, so why wouldn't he put Meiklejohn in if he could. I was surprised he didn't play last week - he certainly showed enough in the previous week to suggest he wouldn't have been out of his depth - and to go into any game with only one (midget) ruckman is odd if you have other options.

              I sure hope Doyle is coming along OK, injury wise...

                could it be that we r so short of ruck options that roosy isnt even thinking about playing any of them in case they do get injured???

                  He is giving plenty of the youngsters a chance, rookies however a less of a priority than the listed youngsters. Give them the majority of playing time.

                      As for injuries, they happen, and as Swans we have more than our fair share, but with the development of depth it won't be an issue. Injury gives the chance for a youngster to shine, just ask B.Fixter!

                        Maybe Roos is asking for less games because he is sick of having no one to choose from
