    Dont have to worry about that because there wont be any finals, how can there be after that today????

      Yep, he's on collingwoods radar right now IMO and he will leave.

        I would actually cry if he left.

        This article is interesting, showing that Longmire cant be used completely as the scapegoat:
        'A very poor performance' - AFL.com.au

        I think the players lacked the intensity and the desire to win, after they were still sore about the loss to Essendon.

          Is that before or after a sex change? They might be interested but I he won't leave. Why would he?

            Totally piss poor effort.
            I could go on for a week about it.
            If the swans can't be bothered, neither can I.
            Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

              Gee we are good at making terrible sides look good. Richmond looked like worldbeaters today when they are actually @@@@house. @@@@.

              We are an absolute joke and a laughing stock. I hope we don't make the 8 now because it would be a blight on the competition and it's integrity. We are absolutely disgraceful. Can someone explain to me how a team with no finals chance can be more hungry to win a game of footbal than a side battling for a finals spot?

              Last year it looked like we were building a strong futute but we have gone backwards dramatically this season and we are looking as though we have many tough years ahead. I haven't read any of the previous pages in this thread but if there is anyone trying to put a positive spin on today's game or the season as a whole then they need to get their head out of their ass or just @@@@ off altogether because they're a joke.

              I hope Freo get in the 8, we don't deserve to be anywhere near it. No heart, no passion.

                A lot of discussion on the coach.

                I listen to my fair share of AW and SEN and to my recollection I have never really heard Longmire getting flak.

                Has he?

                    Based on what did you expect to make top 4 and at what point in the season? Was never on the cards with Bolts and Braddy out.

                    Definitely. Birdy wasn't great today but has had amazing form for someone coming back into the team, and his game against the Dogs was outstanding!

                    Probably right there. Sad but true. Can't see us beating Saints or Geelong unless we find something we haven't seen in the last two weeks, and even Brisbane might fancy their chances...

                        Just heard Caroline Wilson say on 3AW today that he has barely put a foot wrong this year.

                          Big call. Has she seen any of our games in the past month or two?

                            The most disappointing thing about today - and it's been so long since we've had to say this - it appeared that they just didn't have a go!. So many tackles that didn't stick and so many opponents streaming out of our forward line unimpeded! Most disappointing, most un-Swanlike!

                              Fortunately at kids' soccer game all day so missed the game - can now simply delete the game from IQ and pretend it never happened.

                              Simply dreadful, but can't say I"m shocked - if I was a broken man after last week's game, odds are the side won't bounce back from it quickly either.

                              Season as good as over for us now I"m afraid, and Sam Reid aside, we're no closer to knowing what our best forward line looks like that we were 12 months ago. Very disappointing indeed. FFS, give TDL, Jesse and LJ a run and find out whether they are actually capable of being AFL forwards, because nothing we have atm (beyond Reid) suggests we are any chance at all of kicking a winning score against anyone but the easiest beats.

                                I think he re-signed a little while ago and they re-announced it last week with the Goodes and LRT signings - probably in response to the article about all our supposedly out of contract players. BUT, I think it was pre-pregnancy and pre- a few recent head knocks. I would not rule it out, especially if he can work a media deal, which he seems to have been working on lately.
