You reckon Ben Mathews and Crouch feel favoured right now?
Maybe Nick D is Roos' favourite. That's why he gets to avoid the hurly-burly of senior football while on full pay? Only now are BM and JC so favoured, too.
And I bet Baz is sitting at the back of the meditation circle right now.Comment

Ben has been blessed to get a game at times for the past couple of years, and I don't think Crouch is even fit enough to play in the reserves at the moment? If Baz is out of favour, well Baz knows why.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 timeComment

Roos doesn't like Davis. Period. It could also be a bit historical. I wonder how much say did Roos have when transferring Nick from Collingwood. The Magpies problem child has the same personality problems with the Swans. Surely Malthouse would have warned Roos about it, unless Roos thought he could change Nick.Comment

Interesting feedback.
I always draw the comparison between O'Loughlin's stats and performances as compared to Davo's. Stats-wise, they are virtually identicle which is actually a credit to Nick because he doesn't have the luxury of playing as a key forward. As an observer, it is quite clear that Nick competes for as many balls as MOL and chases just as many, if not more, opponents than O'Loughlin.
The only different I can think of is that Roos never played with Davis, but did play with his mate Mick."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

I had the misfortune of living next door to Malthouse in the mid 80's, he was a total @@@@@ then, seems he hasnt changed any since.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

It was a poor gag...but apt for a poorly conceived question about favouritism.
There are people who can stick to the game plan, the structures and there are those that have other ideas.
Those who are physically or mentally incapable of the above, I am sure that they fall foul of the coaching staff (not just Roos), no matter who they are.
It's easy to forget that if people like Nick D and others were getting it right, then his peers and other coaches would have worked on making sure Nick was back in the squad.
Nick D's form is not just the observations of the Senior Coach. Paul Roos has the patience of a Monk (never rushes back injured players is an example), this perceived "attitude" toward Davis is not sudden.The Pain of Discipline is Nothing Like The Pain of DisappointmentComment
