No-one criticises our coach?

[Go Swannies]

Another observation from the Freo game was that Paul Roos moved our players into lots of very different positions throughout the game. I presume it was to mess up Freo's preplanned match-ups. And it worked.

But if you look at other bulletin boards you'll see the coach is torn to shred more often than RWOers attack Saddo. Try Richmond or Port. However, I don't think I've ever seen a criticism of Roos.

Personally, I've never seen a need to. One of my observations pre-season was that I hoped he'd come up with some new tricks for this season as the other coaches would be on to last year's. So far he seems to have achieved that. And he has the new guys playing like veterans.

But doesn't anyone have something to complain about? I'll start the ball rolling. I'd like to complain that he's starting to show emotion in the coaches box. Last year, all we got for a winning goal was a gentle tap of the mineral water bottle. This season I've even seen him holding his hand in front of his mouth and looking nervous. Where will it end?

Oh, No! I hadn't realised that!

Halitosis maybe?

Get rid of the hack.Drum should have been given the job.

Wallace was clearly the better option. He would have taken us to a GF. Sack Roosy now.

I have heard criticism of his hair

[Sanecow]

I criticized the coaching staff for the team they fielded against Carlton and that they let Fevola towel Schaubs up without a change. But no complaints in the real season thus far.

He made me wait for his autograph while he was interviewed!

Remember that old chant, cheer squadders, that went something like... "We've got the best full-forward, in the league"??

Well... "we've got the best young coach, in the league."

Nothing to complain about.

he's really setting a dangerous precedent. How on earth are any other coaches meant to live up his looks, charm and personality. I mean really, get rid of him before he turns the entire league into a farce.

Next thing you know Hall will be hugging the goal posts thinking they're trees

Don't laugh. I heard Hall interviewed on 3AW on Tuesday night and I reckon he is close to hugging trees. Iwould say without doubt he is helping grannies across busy streets already.

BBBBH apparently no longer stands for 'Big, Bad, Bustling, Barry' Hall.

It is now 'Balanced, Bashful, Benign, Barry'.

He's a cub scout now.

We certainly have the best looking coach in the league havent we girls

[Swannette]

I need just a few more photos of me and Roosy to be certain that he is the best looking man over 40 running around in this caper!!!!!!!!!!

sigh

I thought it was very inconsiderant of him last year to get that b-ball injury.

And whatever happened to that big white thigh bandage? Almost as famous as he was.
Hanging on the wall next to the Brownlow?
Being used as a pillowslip?
