    The ultimate irony with Warner is that in 2024, he was mostly a mid and kicked 35gls, now he is mostly a fwd and can't get near 35gls

    Play him mid, pay him mid, let him go fwd to shake a tag, opposition coaches must love that we dont play him in the middle

      If Braeden, Errol, Robert’s and Rampe were fit, we would have had a different game. Too many people out, couple out of form and then rest easy to tag out of the game.
      Papley and Chad both went missing. Rosas probably benefits Papley.
      We are in trouble in near future. St kilda game as usual is a danger game for us. If we can win the next 3 we should go into the bye well.

        Haven't played under pressure footy for years, amazing ball in hand, terrible ball in dispute.

        Rowy and Sheldrick rotating middle to play defensive
        JJ tagging a back flanker, dont tag midfield, put our best in there

        Put Warner and Heeney in the middle and let Bailey worry about them as well.

          a sh perforamnce NO defence (cox doe not ot what that word means),too much kicking or handballing to oppostion. ASn example is the kick by T Mc tied to kick to a swan with 2 opponens close , his kicking is not bulley enough to do that. there were other examples. Lloyd seems to be by himself all the time who was his opponent. Amartey is not a back up ruck its either H Mc or Pistol pete who cant do anything else a fwd he is not. whereas Hayden is a better fwd 9also better than JOel who can pinch hit in the ruck.
          Hoe many frees did cats get It looked a lot more than to us.

            For 7 weeks people have been saying to me “you must be happy with how the Swans are going”. I always reply it’s a long season, so I don’t get too excited until we’re at the end, wherever and whenever that is - I just enjoy the ride. Similarly one loss after so many wins doesn’t signify that our season is imploding. I seem to recall a lot of devastation and naysaying after the round 2 loss, but things turned around. One loss (or seven wins) doesn’t define a season - unless they are the last game of the season)

              It’s hard to play 2 genuine rucks with 3 tall forwards x pretty top heavy

                I don’t think so, I am sure we can play with one less small rotation and we are so vulnerable when Grundy is off or having a ordinary game like today

                  I doubt to many think the season is imploding, it was an expected loss, we haven’t done well to this point but teams are straying to work us out and we haven’t done well probably found some areas we need to address.

                    To be honest, a bit more worried about the creeping injury toll than the loss. If Paps and Rosas are out next week, and you’d think Paps almost certainly will be out of caution, that’s a big loss structurally. And whilst Lloyd was ok when on a wing, we definitely missed Roberts.

                    We’ve got a reasonable run into the bye, but need to use that month to get blokes back, as the run out of it is tough.

                      Nice to hear from you again. I quite miss your injury analysis.

                        Depends where you’re reading. Some sites are more balanced than others

                            2 kids now. I'm sure that's time consuming. And I'm sure that they're often fashionably attired in red and white.
