Team Selection: Round 12 v Adelaide

[imuninformedtwo]

I'm a big fan, too- his enthusiasm, and cheekiness, (excellent point!) adds to my enjoyment of the game. He has always seemed like one of those guys that just genuinely loves playing football.

I had a memory of this, so googled it and could only find the tiktok version (which I'm not on).

But if you wanna know where some of it comes from, here's his dad.

Haha, that's great.

A lot of 'coaches' on here talking like we've got a full list to choose from....you can't roll too many heads when the replacements are barely reserve grade.

Hasn't take long for some to pretty much put Cox in the 'Longmire's gotta go category' too. No wonder I don't flock to RWO regularly anymore.

Look, no one's enjoying this season, it reminds me of 2019 and 2020, short on cattle and limited success.....everyone was doubting Horse, some condemning him and yet we made two GF's in the following four years.

Take a chill pill people.....we are still The Bloods.

I think we all understand years like this happen to all sides, for me it’s not the losses that are the issues it’s the negative tactics we employ and the unwillingness for the players to work for each other, the numbers don’t lie, our team or pressure acts are at lowest recorded for some years by a Swans side. Attitude and application have nothing to do with injuries.

Not professing to be a coach at all but I'm pretty sure that Hamlings last 3 games that have netted a total of 14 touches, 2 goals and 5 tackles isn't upto standard.

If he has to stay in the side put him somewhere he can be effective or at least assist the bloke he is playing alongside like a Blakey etc

Even the staunchest of supporters couldn't defend the coach for that

I agree pick the best side, Ollies worst gets Corey a game every week.

We are down on troops, you don't push the ones out that have been capable.

Again, you don't make statements at 4-7, you make them at 10-1.

We aren't going to make finals, so who why not make a statement. Or at least come up with some positive strategies. He hasn't done that. Earlier in the season, pre-season games and a couple of H&A games, he looked like he had a direction. But then started doing a Horse Special. Centre or Bust and we busted, long down the line. Ho hum. The negating and Old Horse Game Plan aren't going to win you too many. Especially against good sides. We played into Dees hands last week. Did everything they wanted us to do. Then Cox blames the players. Horse used to do the same thing. We need difference not another Horse. Horse only won one premiership because he was incapable of winning any more. We need someone who has the capacity to coach a Premiership or two or three. The troops on the ground don't matter if your system isn't broken. Our system is broken.

I hope the seniors don’t show the same levels of effort today as the ressies did, seems the club is in a big hole collectively- we need a senior response!

Our tactics can be too defensive but this is nothing new. Selectors and Coxy are partly to blame but let’s not exonerate the players, who need to put in a proper shift at the very least. Lack of confidence for sure- that GF loss and all our injuries explains the weakened attitude but this needs to be rectified pretty quickly.
