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

[Blue Sun]

Bullies far too good for our severely undermanned side.

Need to get those key players back in.

more of the same in the last quarter.
Im getting pretty sick of white going in for these lazy 1 armed tackles. Doesnt chase hard enough for mine.

[Trickster]

Come on Goodes-get our goal for this quarter

[robamiee]

is jetta playing in the midfield?

Man are we a very ordinary team. Once again we are slaughtered on the big Manuka ground by an average Dogs teams. The much-vaunted depth we have is a myth. Without Bolton at the back our two ruckmen & Bradshaw at FF we have plodders like Henry Playfair back in the team. We are playing players out of position (Jude Bolton a player who can't kick properly on the forward line WTF?) & have very very little to offer up for. With us being so Bradshaw-centric Jessie White has totally lost his confidence as a forward. And he isn't a very good ruckman either.

How many passengers have we had today? And missing 5 easy shots in the 2nd quarter when we were still in the game is proof that some of the players taking these shots (Bevan Richards) shouldn't be down there in the first place.

And we play Freo next week. Oh joy!

It might be too hard to use the other arm with all those tough stickers on?

I know Pyke is only playing cause of injury/ Suspension but he is not an AFL player. Our rucks would have lost against the Crows ruck today.

i am sure your dog wouldn't be happy that your sitting on it with another 2 on your lap

[Damien]

I should give Kennedy a positive mention today. Love his footy smarts.

[Dalai Lama]

He has some ink work on his arm - and doing some "stink work" on the field?

[ernie koala]

It's been Roos of old today...conservative, supposedly risk free... with little imagination and no dare. Why he has stuck with White in the ruck is a mystery. White is a forward, he has shown that he thrives as the no. 1 target. I'd prefer Richards rucking, and that's saying something. The Playfair sellection as a leading forward was just woeful, he will never impact on a game, let alone win you one.
Speaking of woeful....the commentary....enough said.

[Q...]

Pyke wasn't holding the ball and it shouldn't have been fifty...

Very true - the boy has an attitudinal issue - seems to think he deserves a kick.

Reality is, the midfield is getting killed - McVeys down again, Kirky's gone missing (worrying sign) Bolton is playing sore and Hannebury /Jack ar estill cutting their teeth. Even with Jolly back that midfield would struggle atm.

[JudesaGun]

Playfair is just as bad as Barlow. Goes to ground at every contest and easily pushed off by his man. No second efforts, poor kick and soft.
