      It isn't like Paul Roos to be a whiny bitch.
      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

          Since when did we front up to an Ansett Cup game with the "full" team?
          I thought only the ressies and the new blokes played.
          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

              Roosey said weeks ago that with the extra three weeks off some of the senior players were further along their prep than in recent years. The inference was that some of them may play in the NAB cup.

                  I haven't been interested or paid any attention to that absolute garbage they call the NAB Cup. The NAB Cup is just a circus of idiotic ideas blended together to form a game of nonesense. The "International Rules" with Ireland has more resemblance to real AFL than the NAB Cup these days.

                  Barltlett and crew are obviously bipolar. They introduce rules to quicken the game - 30 second shot clock, kick in rule and the 15 metre kick for a mark (play on, play on, play on). Then they introduce a cap on the interchange bench to keep fatigued players out there. Super idea! How does this improve the game? No idea. And better still - the stupid comp is played in February and up in the Northern parts of the country where it's hot and sticky - HEY LETS CAP THE AMOUNT OF INTERCHANGES PER QUARTER!!!!

                      Maybe Blind Barry.
                      C'mon Rev ... do you honestly think that Roosey is going to play Goodsey in the Ansett Cup and risk him getting injured??
                      Even I don't think Roosey can be that stoopid.

                              I just dont like the NAB cup and now with the limited interchange rule I fear that someone will sustain a season ending injury - we have been lucky in recent years - I think it should be scrapped have the H & A season like it used to be in that all teams played each other twice. You know it makes sense

                                      Wasn't it all just a massive AFL conspiracy to stop us from playing tempo football? I thought everyone knew!

                                          I think GS corrected the same statement earlier

                                                  Sounds like a very convenient excuse not to use our elite and veteran players....

                                                      Seriously Uncle RP, do you really want to see MickyO damage his knees in the pre-season?
                                                      It's a good thing not to play the elite or veterans.
