We are a laughing stock

[sharp9]

It is difficult to believe that any group of professional sportsmen could make so many errors, by hand, foot and brain.

Not just the direct turnovers, but handballs and kicks to a man in space which miss the man forcing him to double back or be tackled when he does get a round to taking possession.

We are the least skilled team in the league by far, IMO. Just unbelievable. Unless it changes we are just making up the numbers.

Sgould seriously consider dropping Kennelly. A message needs to be sent. It doesn't matter if the replacememnt is not as good a player you just can't go on doing this without something giving.

Spriggs was appalling. C. Bolton was a disgrace, Mathews was an embarrasment...Crouch...Goodes....pathetic, truly pathetic.

Fully agree.

Kenneally's worst game in ages. Matthews was deplorable and should be dropped for someone who actually knows what they are doing.

Bringing McVeigh back would be a good start and why not play Willoughby as well.

Leo Barry was also embarrassing today but he had plenty of friends.

At least Jude put in all day unlike the rest of the Swans who for some reason allowed their Crows opponents to run free all day.

Kennelly's had a shocking season thus far. His preseason was wretched, and he's been getting worse by the week (with the exception of one good quarter). I agree that he needs to spend a few weeks in the reserves to kerb his obviously inflated ego.

He needs to be put on the wing. Dempster has shown he is good enough to take Kennelly's role. The coaching staff need to get the balls to make this move.

I think Matthew's poor form has got under the radar for quite a long time. Barry's errors are frustrating and he doesn't make it easy for his teammates. There were a couple of times when players were in perfect positions and the level of disposal made it impossible for him.

I don't think Kennelly should be rewarded for laziness. I fully agree that Dempster has shown that he has what it takes to be a HBF, but Kennelly hasn't shown anything so far this season that would inspire me to move him to the wing. Even his kicking, usually pretty solid, has been dreadful..

And I'm a Kennelly fan.

This happened for at least the entire last quarter.

I mean permanently

Eirinn, let's hope Tadhg can be plonked on the wing just so he doesn't ever have to take a kick in again!

I'm a fan too, and another that is getting more frustrated with him by the week. He and O'Keefe are talented and versatile players with the ability to get under the opposition's guard. But both require hard hard work to be at their best and neither seems to have realised this yet this year.

I'd hoped that last week's second half would wake Kennelly out of his slumber but apparently not.

Hammo are you delusional today.

"You said Matthews actually knows what he is doing." The man is an imposter. I can see him sitting on the Jason Recliner counting this weeks $100 bills with a wry grin on his face.

Snowy, people on this site have given it to P46 for 2 years for daring to say what you just said about Matthews. Duck!!

They need the balls to do something different.

Most of our defenders made appalling mistakes today. Barry, Kennelly, C Bolton, Mathews. Their backmen seemed to be able to continually run the ball out of our foward line via McLeod as well. Very disappointing fade-out at the end.

Throw MOL in there too, he needed a run in the twos. Gave away too many silly free kicks.
