Face it, the teams ultra flood/run out of the backline game plan has been worked out by opposition clubs.
wanna start winning again ?? Change the game plan. -
Interesting comment about having basically the same team for the last 2 years.
Maybe some of that same team have lost a fair bit, got a bit older, lost some hunger, getting overpaid and team is stale because of lack of new blood who can play.Comment

He said we play such a physcial and intense brand of footy it is going to be very hard for us to maintain it succesfully over a year and from one year to the next.
He also said that the stastistics show that teams struggle the week after playing us due to our style of play. Mentioned that a couple of Melbourne players had remarked to him how spent they were after the game and it was the most physical game they had played in a while.
Some food for thought and similar to what ROK has said in the article. The team is finding it tuff to come up week after week playing their current brand of footy.

He made similar comments on On the Couch this evening. Apparently there will be an article in The Age on Tuesday where he gets stuck in to the Swans - will be an interesting read.

If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

The article was in Mondays paper...and i cant find it online...but i just wanted to highlight these comments from O'Keefe in the Daily Telegraph
Key forward Ryan O'Keefe ruled out a simple lack of confidence across the forward line for the swans goal kicking woes- insteada blaming a departure of the team-first values the club has lauded ever since Paul Roos took over as coach
"I'm not sure what the problem is. I think we are ranked last [in goal accuracy] this year. So far we have been pretty terrible"
" I'm not sure what it is because its not like they have been difficult shots either"
" But it is something we do have to get on top of because its costing us games and its one thing we do have to fix"
" i think we have got to start working a little bit better together. Maybe we are playing too much like individuals- everyone trying to kick the winning score off their own boot"
" i think once we get back to working as a team within a team i think we will be alright then"A little man is sitting in a room with two doors. One door says "Do Not Enter" and the other says "Do Not Exit". So he just sits there, holding his hat.Comment

Which is exactly why this current game plan is never going to win us a premiership. Consistency is absolutely required in finals. You have to win multiple games in a row against tough opposition. But if the players are too tired from the week before, how can the team back up one good win with another the next week?Originally posted by DST

As evidence of this, we have not won 2 finals in a row for many, many years. Not since 96 as far as I can remember.Visit my eBay store -

Not Alarm Bells!
probably just the doorbell at this stage
We go to Perth this week try not to get hammered and more importantly no more injuries then set ourselves for Essnd and Power at home.
These 2 games are winnable for the Swans so even if the Weagles do beat us the next 2 could see us back on track, just need to string a couple of wins together to build some confidence and momentum. Roosy just needs to let them off the leash for the 2 home games.

Our finals performance since the war is crap.Originally posted by sharpie

You are right - in fact '96 is the only year we've won two finals in since 1934!
When we do reach finals it's normally quite an ordinary (or really crap) performance. The only exceptions are Port '03 and perhaps Ess '96 and WC '04.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
