    But personnel changes and new tactics will only get us so far. When all's said and done, there's really only one thing that will help us beat Collingwood. And that's hunger. Raw hunger will get us over the line when all else fails. It's been decidedly lacking for a while now whenever we've played them. They've gotta be hungry for it.
    Exactly right. Watch tonights game between Cats and Saints, whatever Rossy said to the team at half time, I hope Roosy gets a copy. The team will have to want to win, Mugpies aren't the Cats or now the Saints.

      I'm very anti-urinals, I've never understood the male love of urinating against a communal wall with a bunch of strangers whilst a cubicle abounds.

      Saves waiting in a queue, you say? 5 minutes to maintain a scrap of human dignity- I believe that's worth the wait.

      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

        Kezza must be due then. Wonder what the record is for a losing streak against a club - Fevola could hold it

        Radar seems to suggest just light showers in Sydney

        Stella, those are very disturbing comments

        You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler

Thomas, Didak, Meadhurst will all by skipping about kicking goals all night. Sydney will in the 3rd or 4th quarter bridge the gap from 40 points to 15. The crowd will get excited. But of course, as usual, it will be too late. Collingwood win AGAIN, this time by 19. Boring!
          I remember reading this at the time and being disappointed by the lack of optimism, but the overall assessment was pretty well right. Bugger!

We've had Biffo Barry for the last 8 losses and he didn't make a difference. As K Jack said in his article, the Swans have to be very hard at it to have a chance. This time we have:
            McGlynn
            Kennedy
            Mumford
            Smith
            White
            Bradshaw (maybe)
            Rohan
            Hanners (more experienced)
            Jack (as above)
            Jetta or Vez

            That weren't part of the team of those last 8 losses.

                    Yeah, but how can we take anything you say seriously, you believe Josh Kennedy is a dud and should be in the 2's.

                        No 1 possession getter no 1 clearances vs the maggies. I'm glad we didn't wait a year.

                              The game was lost in the 1st term time too many old one paced midfielders in the side holding out the youngsters from getting game time lucky the magpies didn't kick straight

                                I am not glad to be right but if your team has been comprehensively beaten so many times by the Pies you can't keep doing the same thing again and expect to win. From selection policy to game plan we were always in trouble.Playing Midfields as forwards(Bird) getting killed in the rebound(Harry O'Brien), missing forward targets,stuffing up the kick ins.Why didn't we copy the Melbourne strategy of the previous week against the Pies? I don't blame the players and Roosey for once swung some changes which was good however we needed a much better plan and some changes of personel and some dam fine coaching to have any chance.The prediction was a no brainer.
