Roo needs to move

[Damp Squarie]

I get the feeling Roo is not enjoying life as a forward.

I think he needed to be running off halfback in that second half against Brisbane where control of the middle was gonna be crucial

What do you think? ala Carlton?

(Not to say our backline didnt play well. We had some good run by Robran and Hart and then Smart AFTER HALF TIME)

Roo looks out of water when the forward line looks crowded.

And er ...Go Crows

Love to know what's wrong with the Roo. Someone said Chronic Fatiguge Syndrome (same as what Alistair Lynch had), but that's just a rumour.

Whatever it is, I hope he picks up soon.

Mind you

Even though his 5 kicks and 3 handballs were not normal, Ive been happy with his attack on the player.

I think this has always been a hallmark of his game.

His "Roo like" goal was a gem.

Had he returned 3 straight instead of 1 goal 2 might've given him forward confidence.

And er...Go Crows

Off half back would be good, gets him into the action a bit more as I dont think we can keep going with revolving the forward structure around him.

I love to see roo in the middle, hes strong, break tackles, got a srong kick, and most importantly, he can smash other players!

If he plays on half forward and takes one of the opposition's best midfielder's out of the game then that could be a deliberate ploy.

For instance this week they will probaly use Sanderson who proivdes a lot of run for them but will find it difficult if he has to watch Roo.

THe midfield is working great at the moment with Goodwin McLeod Bickley Johnson Edwards and Smart

You can always throw him there as a burst player and he is always dangerous up forward

We are winning at the moment. Leave it the way it is.

Top post QT, THE PLICK deserves it!

The way footys played today though, I reckon playin off halfback would do just that put him ( in the middle) where he'd spend 75% of his time crunching "wouldbe" attacks.

Id like to see him ruffle up Sanderson this week AND DECK Bizzel just for good measure

And er...GO CROWS

Did anyone cath the seven sport news tonight? They were claiming to be going to reveal all.

The Roo saga continues ....

Yesterday KG said that Roo will definitely have an operation at the end of the season....then on the news Trevor Jacques said Roo's ok. he's just out of form.


Something fishy going on?

But I reckon the REAL problem is that Roo is pining for Rehn. They are buddies, and I think Rehn's departure has left a little hole in Roo's life.

Is he actually off the board now?

 

[FR0GGY]

Not sure he ever posted here to start with.

 

[1970crow]

Is he actually off the board now?

Thought he had a year to run but google says he was appointed 2014. Google AI said he was former director.

No decision has been announced, when the story about Balme came out it referred to maybe Roo sticking around for one more year as a handover year.

I just can’t understand with all Roo has got going on and with the size of his family why he continues to do it.

Perhaps if wasn’t so busy, didn’t wake up at 3.30am he wouldn’t be so tired and make stupid football decisions.

Helps his profile and radio show ratings.
