Better not let my missus read this - she'll think you guys are talking about me...

A sure fire way to alienate the players, fans and sponsors would be to (a) hire RL's best mate; and (b) go for the guy that invented this lock-down, low-scoring ugly crap.

Whatever morale is at the club at the moment would be sapped by hiring Roos.

Stinger, you left out Milney. Other than that you are spot on!

One thing is puzzling, according to Freo and RL the first approach was Sept 4, then about a week later, the serious offer, all done in one night, then bang gone. Now can anyone believe that Ross then suddenly went to his wife and kids and said, "Hey Guess what, we're all moving to Perth this w...

Well if we had've locked him in we would never have learned of his fascinating thoughts on money, loyalty, opportunity etc. I for one am glad we found out. And having found out, I for one am glad he's gone. This!! That press conference allowed us to see the real Ro$$ Lyin. A slime bucket douche bag...

The point is every sport is conflicted because the media get people who were involved in the game to write about the game and that makes complete sense. There is no way around it. Actually, you are 100% wrong on this, when, for example, it comes to soccer, both in England and on the Continent. The ...

Newman, usually an idiot, was absolutely right. Matthews was even more damning than saying his heart wasn't in it. He really got stuck into the filthy dog, challenging his total lack of integrity.

One thing wrong with their overly deferential and respectful descriptions of Lyon is that the prick used it against them in his presser. He referred to the St Kilda presser and said something to the effect, "they [Nettlefold and Westaway] said it was a great five years." The implication is...

I want Roos................


to stay on TV. Now is the chance to get away from that Sydney style shite game plan.

Seeing that revolting spectacle two words describe him: arrogant and slimy

Watch it JB. You'll be accused of wanting the club to show some fight and passion. Apparently that's not what "professionals" like Nettlefold are supposed to do.

Why can't some of you tell the difference between showing measured passion and venting his spleen?

It must be SS. It is mostly about spleen venting.

Who has said we dont want cool heads. You can show emotion though and say we are after the best available coach whether contracted or not. Exactly. No one is asking him to go off half cocked. It is about being passionate. Sorry for those who can't tell the difference. In fact a caller just rang SEN...

Not going to bleat like the morons on here.

For starters, I'm not a moron. Second, a bloodless, spineless response is not a mark of professionalism. At this moment in time it is weak and does nothing to rally everyone together.

He is on now and sounds absolutely spineless. He shows no anger, no sense of betrayal. Instead, he said, "Ross came to talk to me yesterday and he was disappointed to be leaving us." WTF???? Does Nettlefold actually believe this or is he just a thoughtless corporate drone who spouts pre-fa...

Not sure why people here disrespect malthouse. Ok so he lost his rag one night against milney. Big whoops. U don't survive in this business or get 3 flags if u are a bd bloke. U have hundreds of employees to deal with. Malthouse must be a decent man to his staff and players. They must like him or a...

To anyone here who ever wrote the phrase "In Ross We Trust" have a good think about the perils of blindly, unquestioningly, following someone. You will inevitably get screwed over. And that is exactly what this bastard has done. That said, I think he has screwed himself over the most.

Can any of those accusing him of being a "squib" and pulling out of contests please name specific instances and when they occurred in last night's game. I'd like to watch the replay to see for myself.

Thanks.

It is true that the remarks can be interpreted anyway one wishes to hear them but Johnny Member is also correct insofar as Nettlefold's response was clumsy. He doesn't get paid to be clumsy. He should have known he'd be asked and he needed to have a stock standard and appropriate answer at the read...

For what it's worth, and it might not be much, Nettlefold was on SEN with KB this morning. He was asked if Ross would be staying with the Saints and he replied "We hope so." KB said that was a remarkable response, one that indicated that there might be some truth to the rumours. Nettlefol...

Think you'll find that Keddie went to Full Forward in the last quarter and kicked 3, maybe 4 goals after we lead by about 20 points at 3/4 time. Keddie had barely touched the ball uptil that last quarter. Correct. He was moved to full forward and kicked 4 goals in the last quarter after having had ...

One of the worst days of my life :cry: Ditto. My standing room ticket landed me amongst Hawthorn supporters and I can still see the glum looks on their faces at 3/4. I was sure it was going to be ours. Then the last qtr unfolded. I can still see the jubilant looks on their faces. It's a recurring n...

If he does get "at least 3" the MRP will still be a complete joke.

Greg Westaway is an extremely decent man who wouldn't even consider getting into a public slanging match with Fat Slug because I suspect he knows better than anyone that it'll all be reduced to a cheap tit-for-tat that Fat Slug will twist to give himself moral high ground (however fatuous). I never...
