Game Day Swans v Port, Rd 21

[caesar88]

Rozee has a very punchable face

 

[Wolfgang West]

Rozee fat to good for Mills

Difference between real top draft picks

Yet he beat Himmleberg hands down last week giving away height and weight. He is entitled to a bit of a let down as along with Rampe has been holding it together down there.

It’s just sad, this young team work so hard and get no reward for it ever

The experience in some ways is the reward

 

[Olian]

14 scoring shots a piece but Power more efficient. Need to be cleaner in front of goal.

 

[legend166]

WTF

Just can't see where we're going to get the improvement in the midfield in the short term to compete.

 

[scaryness]

Going to be a fair amount of list turnover from this 22.

 

[SwansProudly]

Nice Menzel

 

[The King!]

It is odd to read here then check the score

Thought we were getting flogged

Can think of two ways to fast track that improvement

 

[Punts]

Not sure why they don’t pick armerty to be another tall up front

 

[Jack2Jack]

Good effort, but those basic skill errors. There's always heaps of errors in games but s**t we cough up too many easy goals from unpressured ones.
Florent was very good, looks impressive when when weaving through players and carrying, but kicking very sloppy. Needs to tidy up that part of his game (like most of his teammates).

It is really. Can't fault the effort.

Hope the run went well

 

[kickthething]

We are a bit slow with or decision making at times and that extras half a second costs us.... this will improve over time of course ... the set shot misses are the most costly...

Yep, I've said it many times before. The anti Academy noise from down south basically made these guys jump up 8 to 15 spots in the draft. Mills & Heeney are no better than a pick 6-12., What makes a draftee a to 5 pick or better? Brilliant disposal!
Our boys don't have that. I have Florent ahead of Mills as a draft pick but he can't nail his disposals either but that's our lot I guess.
I'm glad Jones tore that quarter apart.

Gotta be better

Rozee is a different kettle of fish with class

He will do the job in the 2nd half

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Lloyd doesn't damage in the position he is in...well he causes some damage by gifting the opposition goals. Try him on the wing and see what happens his chip kicks might have better value hitting a target on the inside of the 50 as he literally sets up nothing out of defense. He received the handball chips to Rampe who is covered and 9 meters out. Just not a damaging enough player for the backline for me. He is best 22 but not used well IMO

 

[LukeParkerno1]

That’s hurts, waste all our shots they get two in a row

Bad kicking is bad football

Rampe and co hiding our midfield deficiencies as usual. Forward line has no structure and is entirely opputunistic but can't convert basic shots.

Different type is player... but also talks to the different opportunities they have been given...... playing mid forward v playing back.

 

[Punts]

Just our skills are killing us like usual

Enormous effort imo

Florent in the middle is better

 

[caesar88]

Plenty of positives still:

- Heeney is getting into the right spots, just needs to finish better. Let him train as a forward all pre-season and master his craft because he’s got all it takes.

- Florent gun. We look a whole different team with him and Jones both getting involved.

- Rowbottom !!

- Clarke again not starring but not done a lot wrong either.

 

[Tedeski]

I think we're gonna be crap for a long time.

If we keep losing a player we've put 3 or 4 years of development into before they reach their peak then I agree, it will be a battle.
We need to keep grabbing disgruntled former top 5 picks from other clubs like Hawthorn have.

 

[kickthething]

Mind you...Rozees hands are elite...

 

[Jack2Jack]

Menzel, interesting what they do with him next year. Seems like a cream on top player for a top 6 side, not sure about a developing one. Guessing he might be left hanging until the end of trade week, when we can see where our list is at, before making a call.
