Game review:- Swans v Blues.

[The Coach]

Shit we have a hard few weeks coming up, we could easily end up being 2 - 5.

Gotta ask Alpha - when you buy a lotto ticket do you dream of winning or of not being able to find your winning ticket

Are you thinking Freo will beat us in Round 7?

I don't think we are that bad, or at least, nowhere near as bad as some of the blokes here reckon.

You've gotta remember, 3 goals 12 behinds for half a game of football is an amazing stat. How often does that happen? It could just as easily been 12 goals 3 behinds.

We gotta learn to relax, hey.

No sad part here Alpha.
Using previous guidelines and our current stock, we will do O.K. this year.
We should finish anywhere between 4th. - 8th. and dependant on how we run into the finals will determine our expectations out of them.
The group is there.
The coach is right, but fine tuning needs to be done just yet.
Without putting this year to bed just yet, it is realistically only the platform for next year and in between do your best to enjoy the roller coaster.
I will.

Considering that we are still yet to play a strong top six team not sure how you arrive at the conclusion the group is there, we still have some major holes e.g no quality tall athletic key forward to support Fev, a fragile defence and the inability to get over the top on middle of the road teams in the last two weeks.

We are still a far distance behind the top 4 to 5 teams at this stage.

No I don't think we will loose to Freo.

The worst part about today I felt was the lack of run. To beat Sydney's defensive game you need to play on as much as possible and move the ball quickly. Every time we switched the ball we stopped and when we did go forward we would do a short kick to a player who would take the mark go back and take his time. If you don't move the ball quickly against Sydney they flood their back line and then get you on the break.

If you can bring yourselves to watch the replay you'll find that the times when we fumbled the ball switching the play in defence we actually attacked with more purpose because we were rushed and forced to move quickly.

2 weeks in a row now.

16 points against Essendon (kicked ourselves out of the game int he first quarter)

13 points against Sydney, Including 12 in the first half (once again kicked ourselves out of it in the first 2 quarters.

Goal kicking and conversion has been horrendous and cost them 2 weeks in a row.

If this conversion problem isn't in the coaches consideration to fix during the coming weeks at training we will more than likely be 2-4 with 2 tough games coming up.

My game review..

Watching a replay, I started nodding off as Sydney started to take control in the second quarter.

**** YOU ROOS! YOU ****!
