I tell you what Paul Roos is full of excuses...

That press conference had heaps of the buggers, it's really quite irritating.

I stopped watching the pressers midway through the season, they got too repetitive

Please don't tell me he used the one about the player's not being fit enough again

From what I believe in the Toumpas deal is that Goodwin had a hand in that. He obviously sees something. Hopefully between him and McCartney, they might be able to do something with him.

He said:

"we have a lot of injuries"

then again

"we have about 7 out of our best 22"

but it was this that I was furious about

"we were really competitive after 10-zip"

Now I dunno how that was said, but ARE YOU REALLY ACCEPTING THAT?! I mean, COME ON!

Tom Lynch signed on with Adelaide for 3 years. Shame on that one.

I do wonder if our last 3 weeks played a part in that decision...

Just another guy that doesn't want to come to our club I suppose, can't say I blame him  :-\

[Barra13]

From what I understand he was offered 4 years at 500k a year and was a lot more than what Adelaide were offering at the time. Not sure what was settled on the $ side.

Good to see! Been intrigued by this guy

White to Debut!

White to Debut!

Interesting. Don't really hear much about him apart from the fact that he has a massive left boot and can defend fairly well

Hasn't been dominating though so must just be getting a taste for AFL, hopefully he can unleash a 60m drop punt or something this week  :P

That's the weird thing. He hasn't been dominating according to the stats, but I often see him in Casey's best or the comment "Mitch was up there with the best on ground"

Other than that, I just hear he has a left boot.

No word on Jamar from the club, and he wasn't named this week

What do we think he will do?

Did I hear a while ago that Roos said he was still a required player?

Maybe we will keep him for another year?

Gawn and Spencer both seem to be ahead of him, so I figured the best option would be to let him retire and then pick up a ruck with a late pick/rookie draft pick

I get the impression that Jamar doesn't want to retire though
