    Down Down Down the fall of the Swans goes as they plunge in to the lower depth...

    Of the Ladder that is...

    How long will this go on before all the voices of psudo-reason realise that their self delusion is not going to help any more?

    The toy is broke and it will not be fixed till some tough facts are faced:

    1 The Swans are crap and play the most boring/crap brand of football, perhaps ever !!!

    2 This is not the players fault cos they showed when they were not coached at all (2003- WHEN ROOS SAID : "... oh... it doesn't really matter where we finish this year") that they can be a very skillful bunch of players.

    3 Most Swans fans are too accepting of the crap they are served up week in week out during 2004 and now 2005.

    4 a lot of the so considered expert posters on RWO don't have a F' ing clue about AFL.....

    You know who you are ... (I am thinking in particular about one self appionted hierophant who has been following the game of all of about oh... 5 years ? And who questions the value of coaches, but still wants us to stick with a crap one who has no credientials. A person who pays no relevance to Ladder position and completly misunderstands the significants of culture to an AFL club).

    Well enjoy the lower depth people. My work here is done. Long live mediocrity until the AFL finaly step in and put everyone out of their misery by placing a second team in Sydney sooner rather than later.

    The Swans have had their chance and I am afraid to have to say, but they squanderd it !!!!

    Long live AFL in Sydney. I hope the competition Makes the Swans realise that there position as favoured love child is no excuse for the mediocre crap they have coughed up over the last 20 years.

    With the support and good will shown them by the public, the other clubs and the AFL, at lest 2 flags in that time should have been deliverd.

    Well the party is over and not a moment too soon. This club is a farce !!!!

    Enjoy.

      How do you think a second team will change the "culture"? (I am genuinely interested, not being smart.)

          At the start of the year, I think I had us pencilled in as 3-3 after six rounds. 5-5 after ten rounds.

          We're in considerably worse form than I expected us to be. I don't think we're a farce, but if it means your work here is done... by all means, think we're a farce.
          We hate Anthony Rocca
          We hate Shannon Grant too
          We hate scumbag Gaspar
          But Leo WE LOVE YOU!

            And who questions the value of coaches, but still wants us to stick with a crap one who has no credientials. A person who pays no relevance to Ladder position and completly misunderstands the significants of culture to an AFL club).

            No Credentials??? Or do you mean no previous senior experience in coaching?

            Paul Roos played under Robert Walls, David Parkin (both had successful careers), Rod Austin, Robert Shaw and Rodney Eade (not sure if I have missed anyone). HE WON 5 best & fairests (including in a very good team in 1986 when Fitzroy came third after beating us in a final). HE was a All-Australian 6 times, played for Victoria and played over 300 Senior AFL games. So what are you on about???

            I think the above would give him a very good understanding of Football and culture of a team.

              Mick McGuane's credentials are pretty good and he can't get a gig.
              Maybe it's a personality thing.

                No you just need to be coherent when addressing the players.

                  He and Leo could discuss bouncing techniques.

                    He actually mentions in his book 'beyond three hundred' that He thinks that was the best chance that team had of winning the premiership. I think that ring's true with the Swans' team of 03, unfortunately.
