Swans vs Dogs: In-game hobnob (aka the game day thread)

[Bas]

Now the football Gods are helping Hall.

Game over.

I love Paul Roos but apart of me is happy he is going, we need to change our game plan. It doesnt work against, Collingwood, Dogs etc.. any team that plays with pace and puts you under pressure. Our players with poor ball skills turn over the ball too easily and are crap under pressure.

I don't think Longmire will change the game plan, though.

It seems luck is against us with injuries etc and having Razor and McBurney as umpires in the same game.

It's hard to watch, that's for sure. We look like a shadow of a team at present - a bit like the Bulldogs looked recently against St Kilda.

I agree with an earlier poster who said we're not linking up. There is no flow, but having so many team changes doesn't help in that regard.

How is it that BBH can kick goals in Canberra for Dogs but couldn't for us.

LOL. He kicked 6 there for us last season.

I would suggest that a 6 goal turnaround caused by incorrect free kicks is fantasy

Oh we're linking up just linking up with Bulldogs players by handballing it over to them in their goal square.

[CureTheSane]

Kinda useless if he can't kick a goal.
What he needs is a ghost to receive the quick pass and have a shot.
agree he is presenting and marking well.

It really is deflating. Before the start of the season it was all about excitement - but then we did too well and it became all about expectation - like it had been before. Even if we lost, it was the expectation that we were going to have a real crack - I don't have that feeling now, and the excitement is beginning to fade. C'mon Swans - fire up!

Yeah we don't even look like we are trying - same old same old - too fumbly, too slow and too hopeless

[Trickster]

That's the second time Shaw has kicked directly to the dogs

[Damien]

Goal to Goodes. Phew.

Just need a lot more lol

[Melbournehammer]

goodes has to play on the ball. period.

[CureTheSane]

Grundy/Mattner - who can tell the difference?

Obviously not the commentators....

[Matty10]

goodes has to play on the ball. period.

I was thinking that he needed more time there last week - at the very least he is a big body who gets in the way of the opposition - at his best he is sublime.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Is White playing up forward?

[CureTheSane]

At least Roos is trying a few different things now, rather then sticking to the game plan as he used to....

[Melbournehammer]

just embarassing
