Which means both Crouch and Ablett are playing...what a joke. What a dissapointment !

Good team with both Crouch and Ablett in.

Playing youngsters against the Saints would be just too demoralising. Could make rookies think that they are totally incompetent and might as well look for another job.

Best to get smashed and blame it on too old, too slow players that are at the end of their careers.

Wait till next year.

Glad to see that Roos has the future in mind

What a stupid selection.

Fact - we have 4 weeks remaining this year after this week.
Fact - Roos has said it is hard to learn anything about our list in Canberra
Fact - There are half a dozen players who need a run to get an idea of whether they should be on the list next year.

Fact - the gap between Roos' rhetoric and actions grows wider by the day. The guy is a walking talking contradiction.

He is wearing thin on me. As the great Alan Jeans said, you haven't coached until you've coached a bottom side (paraphrasing MM). Well, I don't think Roos is covering himself in glory at the task so far.

I approve of this change.

Agree, I'm sick of his hollow, constantly misleading, rhetoric.

No Comment.

WTF!!!!!
U lying piece of c*** Roos. The fact that Ablett remains is a joke in itself. He says that every youngster that goes out, a youngster comes in, yet he has done the complete opposite and dropped a youngster and brought in an oldie. I am getting tired of Roos. I would much rather a coach that gives the young blokes a go. Knowing Roos he will prob bring in Barry next week, and drop hanners or Jack. Seriously, we should talk to Hird about being an assisant coach down here, and when he is ready get rid of roos. He is not helping the team by making rubbish changes like that. His tactics are getting old and boring and predictable, and I just cant him anymore.

So much for a youngster out a youngster in.
How long did that last!

**Donners** · 30 July 2009, 06:40 PM

Doesn't bode well for THornton's future...

As much as I dont like this change, its probably for the best that we dont pick a host of youngsters to come in and get belted by the top team. Like Ludwig said, blame the oldies on a (possible) loss.

But that said, we still have to play a couple of the other top 4 teams in Geelong and Collingwood. So what chance do they get to show their wares?? Possibly in 2 non-consectutive games?? Even then, Brisbane are no pushovers. I'll cop it this week and see what happens against the Tigers. Will Roos try and protect his win/loss record or give them a go??

He got us a Premiership with a list of battlers less than 4 years ago! (The Greatest day of my life!) Get off his back and give him a chance to rebuild!!!

Explain to me how ; keeping a slow, hoplessly out of form, tagger.... Ablett and bringing in another old, out of form, tagger.... Crouch; has anything to do with rebuilding?
