Swans 2017 , Longmire and their playing list.

[Leviathan Pie]

He isn't worth a pinch of shit - no-one would cough anything up for him.

 

[outabounds]

Give it a break, the guy has been an outstanding coach.

 

[ManOfClay]

Terrible in pressure games. Looks great though

 

[The_Reaper]

I guess you need to get more than three kicks to be worthy of a mainboard thread.

No, the point was we dont need a multitude of threads discussing Sydney 2005 v 2017, John Longmire and Rohan when it can all be handled in one thread

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Lol, thread merging makes this one extremely confusing.

 

[ManOfClay]

Unfortunately there's too many guys in the side that aren't great under pressure. Jack, Parker, rohan, papley, Reid have all failed to fire when it mattered at one time or another. Couple that with those bottom few players generally not up to it and it is a disaster in finals

Was really struggling to work out WTF I was reading. Even by BF standards.

 

[Adz]

Longmuire would make a great assistant under Buckley.

 

[Deep]

I've got no idea what the hell this thread is about

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

Their over reliance on Buddy is a problem, like Hawthorn before 2013.

The team did let him down tonight as well.

If buddy was still at the hawks , an argument could be made you'd win 4-5 flags instead of the 3

You'd weaken the swans simply by not trading him

They've got too many new players in their team.

Their 2014 team was much better than this one

 

[SterlingArcher]

Mitch Duncan took as many marks as the Swans midfield.

Work rate was missing. Combine that with Geelong's return to forward pressure intensity, no wonder they made a lot of turnovers and couldn't transition forwards.

 

[Smartest Brain]

Played west coast in GF cousins win the Brownlow, swans won flag.

2017 vs dusty Brownlow and defeat Tigers??????



I think so

Gws will smash tigers, so no.

 

[SSSSSS]

Sydney are completely mentally broken after 2014 and 2016.

Horse is beaten too many times in the coaches box. He's not an elite coach. He's a one trick pony with the privilege of coaching an elite list who has coughed up two golden opportunities.

Parker, Rohan, Jack etc. go missing far too often in big games.

He left. We didn't trade. And not sure I agree. But ok.

 

[Kummerspeck]

Particularly as the Buddy deal starts to chew into more of their salary cap going forward

Except it was planned in a way to take advantage of the salary cap going up and not do that.

 

[hutchy31]

I'd give them a partial pass tonight - they've been up for about 4 months because of their start, it was bound to hit them some time.

That said, the margin was embarrassing and Longmire comprehensively out coached.

I don't think they have enough pace around the ball, and unless they are absolutely dominating contested ball they get found out. They are good enough to continue making finals, but I'm not sure there is a flag in their future.

 

[VictorianCrow85]

Once again the Sydney defense game style fails on the MCG, a surprise? I think not.

Was at the game, Swans were incredibly soft tonight, definitely an off night for them but partly predictable due to the games location where they struggle to cluster it up the way they do the smaller grounds.

 

[Del165198]

troy longmuir is never gonna make it as an afl coach

 

[frednirk]

Too many easy free kick fests at the SCG.
Swans get convinced the game is too easy, softens them up too much.

They looked absolutely lost out there at the MCG today.

Since they play like 9? Games a year at the scg which is the size of a netball court, they'll probably keep being in finals with a contested 2005 roos game plan.

 

[Duskfire]

Bigfooty is weird. Before the game Sydney were a shoo-in and many peoples pick for the premiership. Now they lost and all of a sudden Longmire is a shit coach and the Swans are mentally weak.

Is there anything about the game you actually get right?
