Game Day Thread: Rd 20 Swans v Geelong

[Go Swannies]

All I am going to say is I am proud of the boys, we can still make the finals and would love to see it, but dont think it is going to happen.

Its amazing how many times Geelong throw the ball and get away with it, must have seen at least 6-7 incidences of this in the firt half alone.

As far as cheese is concerned, I've said this before and I will say it again, if anyone here knows anyone at the club, can they please tell them this. Whenever Barlow takes a mark, he will jog, not run, but jog back 15-20 metres without IMMEDIATELY looking for an option up forward, wasting a good 5-10 seconds. I find this especially irritating especially when he has taken a mark on the half forward flank and is around 75 to 80 metres out from goal. He does this time and time again. Can someone PLEASE instruct him to turn around immediately after taking a mark. God it annoys me.

He did that in front of me on Saturday night. And someone in the forward 50 (ROK?) was creating a perfect lead towards Cheese's back. we yelled but he doesn't pay any more attention to me than he does to Primmy.

I am constantly instructing him Johnno, but he just ignores me.

You taking the piss out of me Primmy???

I think there was a bit of a "Grundy effect" involved. A large reason why LRT didn't kick long enough was because he took ages to make up his mind and had been called to play on before he finally had to do something. He was probably in shock from having taken such a screamer.

There's an inverse law at work - the bigger the mark the worse the disposal. Gardiner's big grab against Geelong was one of the very few I can ever remember being effective. It helped being just ten yards out.

If the GF had gone on another 15 seconds god knows where Leo would have kicked it.

He wouldn't have kicked it. he would have gone on a kamikaze run once he realised the Weagles had manned up down the line.

Big Bad Jesse managed a decent kick after his screamer on the weekend.

Well he had the penultimate kick of the GF and that was a clanger

Who Me???

I want to get Stuey down on the sidelines and yell at Cheese sometimes. Apparently he listens to him.

But I think Cheese has selective hearing. He is getting better I do admit, but aaaaggghhhhhh!!!!

Ugly floating helicopter. Fortunately hit Moore on the chest.

Too right, more good luck, with a smidgin of good placement. But it worked so, no complaining. Cheese, well, I bagged Reg relentlessly last year, eating plenty of crow now, so I'm shutting up about that one

I was whinging and complaining at the time what a shocking kick it was, until the little chunk made it hit him on the chest.

Yes, but look at the outcome of our words of inspiration! We should be proud of our efforts. Its now that we have to turn our attentions to Cheese - we have Work to do!

[johnno]

Dont get me wrong, I like Cheese, I think he can be a great footballer, just needs to fix 2 things. 1, his tackling, sometimes opposition players just break his tackles a bit too easy, and 2. what I metioned earlier about not turning around quickly after taking a mark.

Saw this in detail.

After the grab he turned to measure his run up, but then saw Roos on the beach absolutely screaming and gesturing at him to hit it to the square.

Panic flashed across White's eyes and he immediately turned and just threw into onto the boot.

this is what Roos needs to do with Barlow.

Kick him? Agreed!
