Game Day Swans v Tiggies

[kickthething]

What we really lack is creativity and ingenuity in the coaches box....It’s about time Horse got some heat from the Meejah.

 

[swanssince2002]

If it wasn't for a team that shot themselves in the foot the past 2 years since that camp... would be last by now tbh.

 

[Kapers]

Biggest problem honestly is that even if we won, no one would of liked us winning. Unsustainable game style, no growth or attempt to use our players.

NOT OUR PLAYERS FAULT,

Obviously coaches instructions

 

[RUNVS]

Clarke nearly won us the game on pure effort alone in the 4th. Just refused to give up in the contest.
People still bitching about his faults.
Incredible.

Clarke does not bother me. He is a flawed player but he works hard and isn't on huge money. It is the highly paid players that offer us very little that annoy the crap out of me.

 

[Jack2Jack]

What a disgraceful game, putrid negative tactics and when we did try to attack at the end there is absolutely no structure or system at all...and yet in spite of all this if our goal kicking was even remotely near AFL standard we could've won....not that winning that pile of dogshit is much to get excited about. With their outs we had a genuine chance to win, didn't need to play so ****ing negative.

Defence actually looked better without the talls, but to be honest our KPD's aren't much chop, but up the other end the bombing to outnumbered smalls is just dumb.

This post deserves a BF Award for Striving for Negativity.
We played 2 on debut -and did not field one KPD or KPF or a ruck !
And still within a kick with 5 minutes to go !

Ive watched us play plenty of games where I thought the scoreline flattered us. Adelaide in round 1 was a little like that. We had many games like that in the second half of 2018.

Today wasn't one of them. It was a tight game and the scoreboard reflected that.

And at no point in time did we look like winning.

Yeah, granted we played two on debut and I think they did well as individual players like Mills, Hayward, Papley. But the overall approach was a hiding to nothing.

Parker almost WOG for me

 

[zyzzbruh]

The thing is outside of incoherent angry withdrawal symptoms I know what i am talking about Zeus You just waffle on with complete dribble. Say something that has some substance.

Everyone knows what they're talking about according to themselves

 

[TheMase]

We are now 2nd last

Excellent. Should get one of the top talents (plus Campbell, later Gulden) and some games into the kids then in a year nobody really gives a shit about anyway

Seemed to have a very decent black eye for most of the game.

Still pissed his goal was overturned

 

[The King!]

parkers reputation is higher than his output

Tanking is overrated, players winning games and not getting used to losing is much more important.

But if you are going to have a bad year, this is the one.

 

[J_Moore]

Would’ve been pretty jacked up if Blakey had kicked that goal, tbh.

We should’ve got smashed and we didn’t. Negative footy blah blah blah. Play footy to win imo.

it’s a pretty ordinary list at the moment. They were never gonna look the mongols.

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Grey had 6 effective disposals, better than Papley. He worked hard. Calls for his dropping are a bit over the top. There are many others you would drop before him from today. Clarke had 15 effective disposals one of the best on the ground and people are slamming him too.

my eyes don’t deceive me throw me stats as much as you like but his opportunity to go he doesn’t. Good for him winning 6 effective touches let me know when he goes after the next contest or loose ball show me those stats and change my opinion.

open your eyes

 

[The King!]

positives

warner and stephens both showed a bit
mills was excellent
heeney looked good despite injury early, sucked he rehurt it
mclean was outplayed but he has something imo
fox i dont rate but credit to him, he is our hardest worker
rampe did his job
lloyd was ok just not dangerous
papley looked dangerous when allowed

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Dunno about that, still generally our best most weeks and doesn't have that big a reputation imo

 

[kickthething]

We have a lot of pain ahead of us,

Buddy is on $1.5M.

He is a dud as a midfielder. Nobody wants to say it cause he tries hard and would let his head get ripped off for this club but a mid who cannot take possession cleanly with one grab, who goes to ground so easily, who never looks where he's kicking it, whose tackling technique is shocking... is not a good mid.

Oh I don’t mean dropping everyone and playing kids or tanking.

But chances are we are going to lose most games anyway, particularly given all of our talls are sitting on the sidelines and we just lost Kennedy for a little while.

hes highly rated outside the swans, and on here

he will usually get votes from everyone each week

Always has been. He is not a number 1 midfielder. He always plays best when he is the 2nd or 3rd midfielder in a team.
