The wash up

It doesn't matter how many times you get the bounce of the ball if can't kick straight you won't kick goals. His shots on goal, twice on the weekend when set, on his own, under no obvious pressure and on his correct side were nothing but shouse.

As was his lovely out on the full from 30 metres the week before when running in unimpeded.

Sadly this is symptomatic of our small men except Davis, and he doesn't get the pill enough.

Yay, someone who watched the same game as me!

My wash up-

Roos needs different tactics,

Maxfield needs to get his head straight,

Hall needs to some kicking practice,

Reserves need to come up,

Underdog tag might suit us at the Gabba,

If you listened to talk back radio today in Melb old son you would have a different opinion. We are seen as the worst side going around as far as style of play.

Robert Shaw from Essendon probably hit the nail on the head when he said, "if you play Sydney at their own game and play them close and hard they don't know what to do. Let them go and they will rip you apart with their pace from the backline".

Now he is on the Essendon coaching staff, and it is a fair thing to believe the rest of the clubs will play us the same way, that's why Roos has to come up with something different or at least variations.

So what you're saying is that from now on we can expect the same boring old crap from the swans every week, as that is what the opposition knows will be good enough to beat us.

yay!

And one more thing on the wash up.

It is the same old, same old, week in week out, alah Eade. Bring some bloody new blood into the team and let some of these middle range players who constantly let us down feel some heat for a change.

If you are not dropping players who every week make the same mistakes, they will just keep doing it and put their hand out on payday as usual, go home put up the feet and say. "oh well who we got next week, how easy is this".

Whoa Nico. We've only had ONE bad week so far this season. And we havent yet seen if there will be any team changes. And anyway, wholesale changes are never going to occur after just 1 loss.

50% of the season granted, but I think we all know we are not a really high scoring team, we do well when we control the ball and kick accurately...I do not seem to recall much of either on Saturday?

I don't think other supporters despise the Swans any more than any other team.

Sydney are the most popular second team for people in the country, thanks to their exposure on TV and the desire to see AFL succeed here.

That was my feeling, that Sydney is a second team for a lot of people. Mainly because they loved to hate Capper's shorts I reckon.

The boys decision making is questionable, in fact alot of the time its rubbish.

My frustration is with Matthews and LRT, these two are incapable of making quick decisions and 9 times out of 10 because of their indecision the ball is turned over. I go nuts when I see that.

I require CPR when Leo gets the ball as I feel he will either try and bounce it when an opposition player is right on him, or he will kick it backwards or he will do something amazing and then kick it straight to the opposition. He used to be indecisive but now he's not so sure.

And Schneider, who is very talented , should stop trying to be the "star goal sneek", concentrate on being a team player and quit mucking around with his mums hair dying kit.

I guess these guys have to learn to think faster on their feet, every other team seems to be able to do it why cant we.

thats my gripe for the day!
