Why the F@#k can't we kick it out properly from a kick out..... but every team we play against can kick out to a leading player????


IT IS THE WORST PART OF OUR GAME!!!!!

And also no forward pressure mate. We allow too many coast to coast goals, its too easy for teams to run it out from defence.

I'm tired of reading stuff from players that they've learnt from past games against Collingwood, but they bloody haven't. Same shit, different year.

You have hit the nail on the head!!! i can not remember the last time we got a coast to coast goal!!! but every team we play seem to be able to do it to us!!!!!

Exactly, no movement on kick ins,at least try a huddle. Pies took it out of defence way to easily, no pressure from our non existant forward line!

 

[BarneyBent]

Our forward pressure is normally OK, but it was shocking tonight, and kickouts were as poor as ever. It's beyond me why we can't do it. I'm just at a complete loss.

Less kick-to-self would help....

I think Goodes needs a stint on the ball or wing or half back and give the brownlow medalist a chance to get some form back.....based on Reserve reports this TDL guy appears to be good...

Anyhow Swans should win the next 4 games, if they bring their A-Game!..love this 'live' tv broadcast..

 

[Tedeski]

Nothing to get too upset about folks. We are not a top four team.........END OF STORY!!

At best we are 6th.....at worst we are 14th!!

The next game against Richmond will be a battle for us in Melbourne. We should win but there will be moments in the game where Richmond (a bottom team) will trouble us.

Get your heads around our true position in the comp & you will deal with losses against teams above us a little better!

Our best player tonight was a bloke who only a few weeks ago thought himself that the game was passing him by & decided to call it quits at years end.

Our Captain!

That's where we are at folks!!

Tadhg usually does out kick ins

Malceski and R.Shaw

 

[WoGiTaLiA]

Malceski is normally the outlet on kick ins, Kennelly finds him and sets it all up but obviously if he is taking them this can't happen.

Mattner and Shaw both only know to kick long so not expecting anything better from them...

Forward and midfield pressure was appalling last night but the whole team just looked off, like once again we were trying not to lose. Always our attitude against the Pies.

 

[RUNVS]

We can't blaim Malceski or Shaw for the kick ins as they had zero options to kick too. I blaim everyone else for providing absolutely no options at the kick in.

 

[Swans120]

Or we can congratulate the Pies on how good their forward pressure was and how well their zoning worked.

Wait...nah **** that.

How good was his 70-75m goal...

 

[GoTheSwannies]

yeah...that was killing me...it's like...where were our players?? when we were kicking out collingwood had a tight zone giving us barely any room to get out of defence...but at the other end they were cruising out....the kick out would find an nmarked man nearly every time...it was painful to watch

 

[Tedeski]

How good was his 70-75m goal...

We're gonna miss him big time BigBez!!

 

[nicky]

Meh, the pies are a better team than us this year. Our performance should not be lumped in with previous years.

if this in fact was the worst part of our game, i would be conciderbly happy....

 

[ppaget]

I sympathise with you as a fellow coach, a coach is only as good as the team he has to coach....love the "in your face" "rippin it up them" talk you gave them after 1st quarter....about bloody time.
Those boys know what they have to do, they play in the AFL, they just obviously don't want it as bad as other players, opposition players.
A player only has one job....beat their opposition player...they don't have to beat the other team...just that one opposition player that is against them and if the Sydney boys want it badly enough and played that way, we wouldn't have a problem.
