When a team's flat, the best leadership can't lift it. We had flat days with Kirky and with Kell. The team looked nervous and tentative from the very start on Sunday. I think the Swans are at their most vulnerable (in terms of playing at their best) when they are playing games that appear certain wins. Sure we struggle to beat top teams, but usually we give a good account of ourselves both in effort and in staying in the game for long periods. WE needed to start well and we didn't. Richmond's skills early on were terrible but once they got a sniff the confidence grew the skills improved, they weren't double guessing themselves and they became unstoppable.

On the issue of chemistry, ROK's comments have been taken so far out of context it is laughable. He was responding to a question regarding the forward line and was comparing the situation to when MOL and Hall were playing and they knew when to lead, where to lead, when to open up space etc. He went on to make the point that this will come as the new players become accustomed to each other. This site never ceases to amaze me with the jumps in "logic" that are made. A lot of these threads promise the world but struggle to deliver an atlas.Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment

Just by coincidence, he was sitting at a table beside me in one of the bakeries in Ararat today. He and his wife (I presume) and another bloke were looking at the menu. Did I hear him say to him wife (as you quoted) "dont think, dont hope, DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. At least you can go out of this bakery and say - I ate ...or I drank .... or I put on a shepherd (pie) ....."Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment
