While they weren't especially dominant, you could see both 'willing' themselves to make the tackle, get the ball out, get to successive contests.
Yea, that really sh**ed me with Brad, l get that we need to have a measured and mature response etc etc from him, but potting the captain over one free kick, get knicked brad, he can be out on his ass like McArtnery the way he's going.Must be on top of the world after copping a forearm/elbow to the chin and then getting potted for retaliating

I agree. Not sure I agree that the Coach should be saying that in press conferences though. Behind closed doors Brad Scott: Spitta what the hell was with the free after mate? Line him up when the ball in within 5 metres next time.
People give him a lot of crap in the media and on here about his supposed lack of leadership. This guy gives more than a 110% every match for his teammates, its the other leaders like Gibson, Harvey and Thompson letting the club down atm.
Really?!
Harvey has been carrying us for 10 years... the other 2 i agree with though
Which part, he did pot Swallow over giving away a free kick that every player would give away after an incident like that with Hodge. I was fine with him saying respond in a mature response etc, but if you pot players and start unintentionally bagging them, that's a slippery slope with losing the players like Mcartney.
I was talking about defensive efforts, but yes very true, he can be excused from that and its not entirely his fault.
We talk a lot about players having 'credits in the bank' when they have an off day. Now, while I don't personally have a problem with what he said, I'd like to think Brad's unrelenting support, year upon year, for his players gives him 'credit in the bank' when it comes to an occasional 'potting'. He's the coach ffs. Yeah, it's probably best said privately and my money is on the fact that he had already said as much to Spitta so it wouldn't have been news.

Many of us want Brad to take a tougher stance, and when he does, we whinge? (I know I'm generalising about 'we' and 'tougher stance', but I think 'people' might be a bit precious about things given the Hodge incident.) We played very poorly in my view, and got sucked in, the same way McEnroe's opponents used to, back in the day. They took our players 'out of the zone' and we fell for it, hook, line and sinker and as the captain Swallow needs to show an example, or an example gets made of him. (Isn't this the right-wing way, by the way?
It was 'relationally relevant' I thought K4e. But seriously, I'm bemused by the whole choice and consequences mantra that people spruik, then when we get one such example it's the wrong one.
Probably only jimmy*, it feeds his ego*.
Sunday my bet ends at 1 a.m.. I'm staying up till then for the purpose of changing back to some hot chick.
