Everitt - Lift your game onballers!

[originalswan]

These so called player/media assertions of the Swans pedicament was getting quite tedious and monotonous. At least Everitt in naming the players that are playing well has indirectly pointed the finger at those who aren't playing well, especially in the midfield (not really hard to work out is it?)

Initially I thought, geez are you going out on a limb, being a new player and being so vocal. Time now to shut up and show the football world whether the team has what it takes!

Maybe naming them is going too fare but we know who they are:

Jude (just down and out and in real danger of ACT)
Goodesy (so much pressure but isn't reading the ball like 2006)
Macca (must run harder to make more contests)
Monty (when he was playing)
Schnides (not consistent eoungh)
Fossy (working hard but again need more inpact from disposals)
and even Kirky has gone to sleep at times
Then there's the stand ins that aren't confident, Moorey, Schmidty & co

It really is a bit part mid-field when you look at it. As much as I love these guys, I would say that is disappointing that the following are probably leading the B & F:

Mal
Tiger
Jolly
Leo
ROK
Craig
Kirky
Benny
Everitt
Hall

I would suggest that the leaderboard should be a lot different.

This is a good summary of the season to date. You might quibble with the F&B placement but as to where the problems are it's pretty much on the money for mine. And it highlights what Spida is saying about the midfield.

Not sure the picture down back is as rosy as they are suggesting however. Richards & Leo have both been inconsistent and after a great start to the season, Craig B has struggled in recent weeks vs Edwards/Grant & then Riewoldt/Umpires. No doubt we're being exposed by a lack of height down back but they need to lift their game as much as the midfield.

My mate who is a Saints supporter laghed at me last nite when i was talking of our ills, he blames it all on the Big Spida! The theory goes that the year he was out the Aints made the granny, just after he left they started playing finals, he went to the Hawks after they had been playing finals - once he got there they stopped, now that he has left look at the old poo & wee stripes now!!! Just his theory, I hope it is wrong!!!

I'm pretty sure Everitt played every game of '97 and just missed the GF through injury. He had an excellent year and played a big part in getting them there.

He won a B&F at Hawthorn too.

People are too hard on Spida I reckon.
