Game Day Bloods v Tigers

[mikey_san]

I retract what I said about us being in this.

Haha me too. The last 15 minutes took it away from us.
But not that far behind we can't come back either.
Stranger things have happened in footy. Even TODAY !

I'm not gonna blame everything on Longmire. The players are not executing basic skills. Full stop. But at the same time I don't think players have any confidence in the gameplan and themselves. They just keep on hitting brick walls and it gets turned over the other way for a goal. Its energy sapping you know?

 

[The King!]

I would be very surprised if Longmire has not lost the players.

He will get lost in the elevator to the change rooms if it has too many buttons to choose from

 

[Teddy chester]

May as well give rowbottom some time in the middle now. That is why we drafted him

 

[SilentHunter_]

HE HAS WON A FLAG... HE HAS MADE FINALS EVERY YEAR... SAY BYE RESPECTFULLY AND MOVE ON SWANS BOARD PLEASE.

[scaryness]

Ling saying Horse is telling the players to hold the ball and retain possession in the 2nd half.

Horse is insane, we know that doesn't work!

 

[Mick Oxlong]

There are only 2...chances are ‘he’s ****ed’!

 

[mtooler]

Amazed how Hewett and Thurlow can clanger handballs with such consistency.

 

[Superstar swan]

Rowbottom appears to have good foot skills...horse will coach that shit out of him

 

[RUNVS]

Rowbottom is not afraid to take the game on and seems to have pretty good disposal. Longmire won't let him anywhere near the midfield with those qualities.

What he has done to Mills is criminal.

 

[ScrewInStuds]

I will no longer be referring to Reid as Jarrad Waite, its an insulting comparison for a guy with close to 400 goals and 2 leading goalscorer awards

He's Bizarro-Casboult atm, can't catch a cold.

and lloyd
and buddy

No we are not, 46 points fron turnovers suggests more errors than that. Same story every week. We have no forward structure...the coach needs to take some accountability for this...we are not evolving at all...the game has actually moved past where we are still at.

Agree on forward structure - but turning it over on the attack (we've been crying out for them to attack) I don't mind as much. If they put together 5-6 handballs to weave through our defense and put it onto a forwards chest so be it. If they want to judge all those as "points off turnovers" just about every score is from a turnover unless you grab it out of the middle and kick one untouched.

At least we've tried to take it on. We were right there until that last 10-15 mins.

 

[kickthething]

The only thing I can say is that there is too much separation in our forward line - when we’ve got no one who looks like taking a contested mark then stop trying to kick it there.

I’d play buddy off a wing and Reid and mccartin as our talls

I’d drop ronke and play mcinenery who actually seems to know how to pressure opponents.

Because buddy is playing off a wing I’d only kick it to him if free.

We are good enough to win these games but our forward line is completely dysfunctional and our midfield are spending so much time trying to spot a mark they are losing it over and over

our midfield on the rare occasions they want to deliver the ball are to damn busy looking for a Buddy and not looking at what is actually ahead of them, by the time they pull the trigger they have taken so long All options are gone. First option, play what is there....and where is our lead out forward, we havent had one for how long.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Ronke should be delisted... wtf is he smoking?

 

[SSwans2011]

Might load up on GWS by 60 or however much next week.

 

[RUNVS]

We are also inviting pressure by moving the ball so slowly. Every time we move the ball fast one player gets it and suddenly stops, giving Richmond all the time they need to setup defensively.

finishing hanners stash

 

[sataris]

We are the stupidest team in the history of the AFL.

 

[SSwans2011]

Just feel flat. What highlights are there? Florent? Rowbottom?

Yay!

Even Florent is shit compared to what he could be with a better coach.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Reid marking wtf has happened to it

 

[RUNVS]

We are the stupidest team in the history of the AFL.

We have a coach with no imagination, it is not surprising this rubs off on the players given he makes them play such a conservative game plan.

Agree was watching membrry before the game wondering why we just didn’t play him
