Autopsy Round 6 Swans Vs Giants.

I seriously hope this isn't true.

The members pay for the privilege of being a member, no qualifications required; the supporters simply label themselves supporters, with no commitment levels required.

If Longmire's role requires him to 'listen' to the requests of 100,000 or more people, he and any future coaches are doomed.

To quote Jack Gibson Edit: Turns out this wasn't him, but still pretty good.

In football, if you are standing still, you're going backwards fast.

We need to make this a priority so that our team can focus on it. Drill it and instil it into every Swans player so they know what is expected of them in contested situations. It needs to become second nature to them to attack every ball at full pace with unflinching conviction to win the ball. Every tackle must stick, every inch of their body must be thrown into each contest without fear of harm. In short: these Swans need toughening up. Once they've toughened up, we can begin to work on mastering the finer things, like skill and ball movement.

This sounds great, but is actually the problem.

How many times have we seen 2 or more swans players at the contest, on the ground, whilst opp players stay on there feet and just wait on the outside.

At the contest.
Swans player wins the contested ball (hooray), they handball it out to a 2,3 or 4 v 1 who then win possession.
Giants player wins the contested ball (boo), they handball it out a 2,3, or 4 v 1 who then win possession.

Need to be less committed to 'win the football at all costs' , and use their ******* brains.

If there's already a swan on the ground trying to get possession, let him win or loose the ball, it actually doesn't matter.

What matters is when the ball comes out the opposition aren't able to handball past you because they have +1.

I don't mind who said it, I'm happy to agree!

Jack Gibson was criticised for building success around defence.
He often quoted legendary NFL coach Vince Lombardi, "if the opposition has zero points on the board, you can't lose".
