North Melbourne pre-game discussion (with teams)

[Kirkari]

Re-read the article, I think you'll find that's exactly what he did.

Do you mean THIS article
Roos stays positive over Swans' fortunes
which says,

"After every game, win or loss, the Swans coaching staff and players review their performances, always looking for areas to improve. Roos took the unusual step this week of not reviewing the loss to the Tigers, prefer not to ''dwell'' on it and focus on the eight games between now and the finals."

and Roos' quote is:

"'We didn't even really review the game. "

That article?

Does that mean poor performances were rewarded?

No, this one http://www.sydneyswans.com.au/news/n...4/default.aspx

Which says;
"While Roos said he had chosen to highlight the first three quarters against the Tigers, when the Swans built a 33-point lead at the MCG before losing by four points, the final-quarter slump hasn't been completely wiped from the Swans' collective memory."

[Bas]

Well the Tigers had a magnificent win over the Dockers and they (Tigers) had two out on the bench. So our loss can be put into a better perspective.

We still should have won with that lead but just shows how spirit can lift a team.

If the Swans can't lift themselves enough to want to be in the 8 then it might be time for the coach to go. Not that it's his fault but that he no longer commands the respect from the team and he should leave them, rather than retire at season's end.

Looking forward to seeing Ted. If he can get a bit of confidence he will be very valuable.

I think the game has gone beyond Ted.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Not that I think it'd happen, but we'll regret it if we lose Vez. When he gets to string a few games in a row he's going to break loose and his flair and skill will come to the fore, I just hope it's with us and not against us.

[Bleed Red Blood]

Ted's gone the way of Jason Cloke. Sorry Mr. Richards, I wish it wasn't this way, any player I see wear the red and white I wish the best, but I demand the highest of them in return. Sadly you wern't quite up to it, but no shame follows you. I intend to be quite courteous if we we're to ever meet, I do apluad your achievements and wish you the best in any chosen field and I know some avid readers can suggest one alternative, a Sydney Swan is just not in your future. Join the VFL, it's well thought of, you have family around, pursue some hobbies Melbourne is a great centre for hobbies. All the best, Aubrey.

Rain Rain Rain forecast for today...great.

[aardvark]

West Coast had three players kick their first AFL goal last night. They are probably ahead of us in the race for their next flag. Do we have to bottom out that badly before we play the young guns instead of Ted and Bevo ?

[gossipcom]

Quick question, not 100% today so trying to make the decision whether to go in for the game.

How's the weather looking at the SCG at the moment?

Because BOM is saying cloudy/rain and I don't want to venture in if it's going to be poncho action. Ugh, can get a better view on TV in that situation.

Not that surprising that Richards came back in but not happy with Bevan's inclusion ahead of some of the others.

[Chookbilly]

Ugh..... Shaw

West Coast's young guns, and I use the term guns very lightly when describing them, are pretty average except for maybe a handful.

We have them covered everywhere except for the forward line.

Pop guns? Or is that their old blokes?

[RogueSwan]

Teddy is in to allow Reg to become our new gun CHF. This gives Goodes the freedom to play on the ball. It is a stroke of genius! [/tongue in cheek]

Wrong forward but the tactic was right.
