So we're equating Melbourne's loss to that of Tigers against Gold Coast? Please! We had 12 players who had played under 100 games, Gold Coast had 17. We lost when 10 points up with 40 seconds or so to go. We were 3 kicks in front less than 4 minutes to go. All this against a 2nd year club that hadn't won a game for the year in 14 previous goes. There's no comparison. Roos had every right to sink the boots into us that game. We deserved it.

In terms of blowing games from winning positions, yeah, that's what we're doing.
We had a young side in that should've accounted for an even younger side, especially from the position we were in, and it was an embarrassment to the club. But "the worst 47 seconds in football" was an exercise in hyperbole that was designed to be a headline-grabber - would you agree?
Richmond was the next youngest side after GWS and GC in 2012. Melbourne is the ninth-youngest of 2015 and has fewer excuses.
To be fair, Roos copped his whack on the chin today.
Yeah I should point out I'm not defending our last minute against GC in that game - it was an abomination. It's just that at the time Roos was very smug in pointing out what had obviously gone wrong and the inference was it was a mistake a side of his wouldn't make. A few short years later here we are. It clearly annoyed him and he is clearly getting a glimpse into how hard it is to transform a basket case into a good team. Hint: more than just no *smile* policies and bloods culture.
No. Byrnes was another one of Roos' pickups.tigertim said:
But your point just reiterates that Roos has a MUCH better squad than Neeld had.
So how much of any discernible improvement is down to Roos' coaching?
Which players are now better than they were before he got there?

No, Byrnes went to Melbourne at the end of 2012 and played seasons 2013 and half of 2014 before retiring. Roos went to Melbourne at the end of 2013 and has coached them for 2014 and this season.
But I agree with your sentiment re the quality of aplyers Neeld had compared to Roos.
My apologies. I think he came in with Dawes and Rodan for 2013tigertim said:
So, is there any evidence of Roos' coaching genius at Melbourne?tigertim said:
