Swans vs Carlton Game thread.

I think the season is over if we stick with this forward line. Me thinks we need to rethink the rest of the year. Bring Jesse in to full forward and give him 10 weeks to show he can be a player. If not trade him. We need some leg speed as well. Sumner had a great game yesterday, I would give him 4-6 weeks to what he has got.

We need some forwards. Bit of thinking to do this week for Horse & Co.

No shame in losing to 3rd place on the ladder but we continued to blow our opportunities and then got punished for it by a good side. Big challenge for the coaching staff.

Umpires have missed a lot of free kicks for us.
Whilst we are seen as the top tackling side, none of our tackles seem to be sticking.

[Dan]

Maybe Heath in next week for Kennelly?

This commentators are f*king terrible

What does that tell you? McGlynn is our leading goal kicker and he is 2 foot nothing. Cant threaten for a flag with a setup like that.

Players who had a crack today: Bird, Johnson, Smith.

That is all.

Yes the forward line is dysfunctional atm. Ball was in there enough, we actually won the inside 50, 46-42 - just can't use it when it is in there. TDL does kick goals and I think he is needed to provide a spark.

[longmile]

Our forward line is obviously our downfall. We need Johnson and TDL in their as they are genuine forwards; LRT today proved that he is not.
On a brighter note our accuracy at goal was better with 10.6 (and 3 out on the fulls) compared to last weeks 9.21

And how come we got Carlton twice in a few weeks without getting the likes of Gold Coast yet like everyone else does????....

I agree give either TDL or Johnston (who I thought showed something in his debut) another go.

[Captain]

At least with a forward line of Johnston and TDL it gives us a future.

Reid is going to be a good player but is looking tired to me. Hard on a kid to hold down a key CHF position all year. Bring in White there and let Reid play out of the square for a few weeks otherwise he will burn out. Sumner and TDL to provide some small forward leg speed.

3 am here so before I go to bed....once again, I hate McAvaney....he makes every loss soooooo much worse....

Week after week suggestions like this make so much sense...why oh why do the selectors not ever see this?....
