If anyone cannot see how useless and of no benefit to the team Nic Fosdike is, surely the match against Collingwood on Saturday night proved beyond doubt the man is no good and has to go - PERMANENTLY !
Fosdike accumulated 22 possies however, they were either one of the following outcomes -
a) to the opposition
b) to a teammate under pressure
c) out of bounds on the full
d) an up and under floater to a pack situation
e) dribbled kicks and/or handballs poorly disposed of and invariably turned over, balled up or disposed of by a Swans player under pressure
The opposition have also caught up on Fosdike's non-ability by letting the bloke get easy possessions - which he invariably still stuff's up - in the Swans back half.
Along with Ben Matthews' six possessions, there were 28 possessions that went nowhere, to the opposition or of no real benefit to the Swans from the combined output of Fosdike and Matthews.
This equates to 28 out of our 334 possesions, or roughly 8% of the Swans possessions. If you are down 8% on total output, teams like Collingwood, Adelaide and West Coast will destroy the Swans.
Solution - bring back Malceski and try one of either Schmidt, Willoughby, Moore or Bevan. Two of these four players will probably not accumulate 28 stats however, what they will do is offer youthful exuberance, pace, skill and a willingness to create play for teammates - something Fosdike and Matthews do not do because of there lack of skill, no leg speed, selfishness and slow of mind.
Get rid of em', they are bringing the team down and sending me to an early grave......
