      I said Parker & Shaw were good! I never said these players were down I though Parkers effort really good. That Shimmy in the first was super, a glide not a baulk, just beautiful I used to to do just the same thing & didn't move very far so cute!!! Shawie had to fill gaps today cos Nickie was not in but I think that was a mistake & they should have taken another tagging mid like Byron instead of Everritt.

      Next Week OUT;

      Everritt
      White
      Bevo (Tries Hard Just not quite good enough)
      LRT (Tried Hard but was soundly beaten needs to be retrained at another level Resies)
      As far as i am concerned Benny has got to be on a string, he has performed in only half of the games this season & today was not one of those. I think he needs a rest as well.
      Tadhg could do with a rest as well he was pretty ineffectual tonight & his opponent was pretty good.

        I think the difference between the sides was the effort by Adelaide to push the ball on at all costs & kick to a position & Jared Petrenko! He killed Kennelly & I don't konw if Tadhg even knew he was on him

          I never said Mummy was over the hill nor is Seabs as he is only 26 but I think the young bloke has a lot go give & it will be a lot more than Mikie Babie I think. Mikie is lovely & takes a very good mark but this young bloke is going to be here for the premiership years for us!!

            What's more he is called Crusher & I can tell you it is not because he is overweight! He throws his weight around & protects his small players & he does it without getting reported WOW!!!! This is something our footy club needs & hasn't had since Plugger & Spider.

              I like Currie a lot and I hope he makes it, but throwing his weight around isn't one of his noted strengths. In fact, the coaches probably want him to do more of that and he's too nice for his own sake.

                I told you in a thread last week, you've got the wrong bloke. You need to give it a rest before all credibility is lost...

                  How many of you experts have actually played in such crappy conditions? I'm disappointed too but Im not going to hang draw and quarter the guys - tough night. We tried. We lost. Get over it...

If Spanger is playing so well in the 2's he must replace White. Reid plays like a CHF so putting Spanger up front as a power forward makes sense. He is a massive unit.
                      Yep, we need a forward who can take marks and won't be pushed around. White either needs to belt someone and cop the suspension, or get rid of him, worst passenger I have ever seen in a swans jumper. A game we should have won but for lamentable goal kicking

                        Let's say for argument's sake that he is the type to throw his weight around, knock around a few blokes at the stoppages and get really aggro - do you think that's what cost us the game tonight? Would the inclusion of this hypothetical angry Currie help us win games?

                          Sorry we are supposed to be a top 8 side & this mob are 14th on the table & even though on their dunghill we have an 11 for & 13 now 14 against at AAMI Stadium. Better known as Footy Park to Adelaidians. The expectation was a win & even though the weather was bad we should have still won. I am sorry but the get over it thing I don't get! We are in this Comp to win it not to make up the numbers & if that is your attitude then no wonder the Swans took 40 years to win anothewr Preniership!! Winning is everything!!! The Premiership the goal of every footballer & the epitomy of greatness in this arena! Don't tell me to get over it! If I feel like venting I will thank you as I think that this forum supports that to a certain extent. We lost because we created the conditions to lose!!!

                            Ugg I am not talking about angry I am talking protection of the smaller blokes & if you had read my earlier post you would have read that I am impressed by the way thev young bloke impresses himself on the game by throwing his weight around legally not illegally!!!! He protected his smalls created avenues for them by putting his body on the line & shepherding for them, great stuff! Mummy does the same thing & I think it may be a run off from Mummy!! I haven't seen a great deal of him but was impressed by that part of his game the times I did see him

                              Sorry I don't buy that at all. They were crappy conditions- but that is absolutely no excuse to lose to a team that had won 3 games all year and lost their last 6. If you want to be a quality football team, then you just win games like that tonight. We shot ourselves in the foot with crap disposal, rubbish kicking from goal and being outenthused. I am very unhappy with that and it may come back to bite us hard. Bad conditions is no excuse for not beating a team that you should be beating comfortably!

                                We were utter tripe tonight. Far too much kick it and hope, and as per the usual absolutely @@@@ing woeful in front of goal- I'm especially looking at you O'Keefe and Everitt- 3 massive chances wasted in the last quarter, all very kickable. Why Everitt didn't pick that ball up I will never know.

                                Our in and under guys did fine, but we had no plan of attack as to how we were trying to play tonight. Far too many tim

                                I know the conditions were bad, but seriously that can not be seen as an excuse. We lost to a very ordinary football team, and instead of keeping well away from the teams on the edge of the eight, we've been dragged back into the fold with them and if we don't vastly improve our goalkicking and general skills, we could yet miss the finals. Really annoyed about that performance tonight- utterly woeful.

                                Must say though I liked the look of Parker- he looks a good in and under player to me and hopefully we will see more of him. Everitt though should never have been selected as sub, and well Jetta might run fast, but thats about all he can do at the moment for large periods of the game- his disposal generally is woeful.
