            Goodes, Irish and Crouch were all rushed back in early from memory. Possibly Hall 2007 could be included as it was revealed he was only around 80% fitness, probably less in reality.
            Apart from that I am not getting involved in Davisgate MkII or is it MkIII? MkIV most likely.
            It would be great if the Swannies could release to goals and targets set for each player.

              Speaking of quoting from mooovies a kid said to me today,"Have you ever seen Zoolander Ms. M?" Well...talk about quotes. The black dust was being coughed up the rest of the lesson and all the Sean Dempster can't turn right,ridiculously good looking quotes got an airing. Good times.

                    50+ responses for someone to give the answer I was looking for!

                    I'm amazed some people think he doesn't.
                    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

                        I meant that it was the first one pointing out that all coaches have favourites. It probably wasn't, I'm too lazy to read the posts. I've been down here sandbagging in the goal square hoping that my teammates get the ball to me.

                            I bet your carrying 4 or 5 extra kilos and a real show pony. (If I PM you my members cap, will you sign it! )

                              I have to tell you, there is nothing as good as sand bagging and getting a goal... maybe, just maybe sand bagging and getting an uncontested layup opportunity in a game of basketball and stepping back to take a 3 instead... that's pretty sweet... but you're only @@@@ing over 4 teammates there, in footy it's 17

                                I have to be honest, I have said I think he does previously, but now I'm not so sure. The games he dropped Davis, we had absolutely no trouble scoring goals. I thought he was favouring established but mediocre players over young, exciting but inexperienced players over the last two years, but their improvement this year over their performances last year suggest that this was a perfect time to bring them in. And I was as angry as the next fan when Roos traded Schneider and Dempster for a second round pick, but we haven't felt their absence at all, really, and we got a promising youngster out of it. I still reckon we could have gotten more for those two players, maybe a young fringe player from the Saints as well, but it's not looking like too bad a trade at all.

                                I dunno, I guess what I'm saying is that while what Roos does may seem illogical at the time, you can't really fault his results.
