I was concerned that the weather was going to be quite ordinary for this match a but I felt good about the game when the team ran out. No wet weather fumbles for the boys today. Oh how wrong. I am yet to watch a replay but how many times did a handball miss its target? and only for guys under pressure. Rebounding out of the backs there seemed to be just too many bumbling passes.

Yep - I found it amazing how many times our handballs missed targets. Very sloppy.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Every week I am amazed at how many times we handball to a player under extreme pressure when they are in a position to kick the bloody thing. And most often in the backline. It is very frustrating.
Maxfield undoes his good field running by kicking little toe pocks to a player on the fast lead but covered. It would be OK if he hit them on the chest but rarely does.
Leo is going back to his silly days. Twice today he broke the lines on his left, but inexplicably stopped, propped and backtracked only to stuff it up with a handball that missed the target because he put himself under pressure. If he is to do his running then when he gets clear go on with it. And it has nothing to do with spotting a target upfield as he has his head down so he would have no idea what was on offer.Comment

some of our players have the skills but seem to lack a footy brain when it comes to some of their handballs!Theres not much left to sayComment

I thought we hit plenty of targets with handballs, unfortunately they either had a Cat player right on their hammer or they had blue and white hoops on their tops.Comment

What concerns me is that when they hit the panic button, they either handpass, or kick it backwards and you just know it will go pear shaped.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

I was amazed at how many handballs hit the ground, especially as the player delivering was under no pressure.LIFE GOES ONComment

There was a classic one in the third quarter when Fosdike was running out of defence on the back of the square, handballed to Mathews and missed him by a metre or two, and they were only a few metres apart.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

There was a case of Fosdike running through the midfield in the 1st quarter, no pressure, kicked into forward 50. Straight to Geelong player, switches play down other side, Geelong goal.Originally posted by NMWBloods

Happens far to often. We are a better side without Fosdike.
He must be traded.Comment

I have never bagged a player on this site but even I think he has to go. He is a liability and unfortunately we wouldn't get much for him.Originally posted by barry

I have been saying for years to fellow Swans fans and on this site for the last 4 months that Fosdic*he#d has to go, only to be ridiculed by the majority.Originally posted by anne

And I don't care if the guy was coming back from injury, as you don't lose your ability overnight - which Fosdic*he#d has NEVER had in the first place.
That kick from 45 out for goal on his opposite foot with no pressure on no angle hitting Scarlett 10 metres short of the goal line was laughed at by everyone in the vicinity of where I was watching the game.
For a start, Fosdic*he#d should stop trying to be cute and kicking on his opposite foot when under no pressure on no angles, he should watch the way Jude Bolton and Brett Kirk play the game and he should give the ball off first option every time - this piss farting around and giving off to the 8th or 9th option under pressure is very very detrimental to the team and consequently a turnover occursWell somebody told me, You had a boyfriend, Who looks like a girlfriend,That I had in February of last year, It's not confidential, I've got potential

Exactly the one I was thinking of. Poor handballs under pressure have a bit of an excuse, but out in the open?Originally posted by NMWBloods
