    We are having a red hot crack but some of the disposal and goal kicking is destroying the good work elsewhere.
    Maybe the penny has dropped. He is playing in front!!!!!!!

    Maybe at half time Grundy will put some stops in his boots and have a brain transplant.

    Nice goal by McVeigh but boy he is playing a long way off Schneider.

        People talk about how crap Dennis-Lane has been when in and all that sort of junk but one thing he does well is kick straight! I dont care if he only gets 4 kicks but at least they will be quality! And while i'm ranting we need a fit lewis Johnston in too as he is probably our best set shot for goal! No point in having all these scrappers having a 'real crack' when they waste our time with poor kicking! I'm OVER honerable losses, and great efforts!

            Even though I'm able to watch the game, I've decided not to to avoid the frustration. At my age, keeping updated at R and W online is much better for my Bloods pressure! From the tone of the posts so far I can tell that we haven't stopped being frustrating but am I correct in surmising that we're winning everywhere except the scoreboard and are actually "still in it?"

              Yes it is Sid but I was talking about 1 passage of play being better than what he showed.

                Yes, we are still in it, though we should have been so far in front that our non-performing third quarter fadeouts wouldn't have mattered today ... The scores being what they are, wait for the 3 quarter time score - then we'll see again

                  Our forays in the F50 have been very consistent so far. We've managed to hit a St.K defender on the chest about 80% of the time.
                  To all those people who waited 72 years to see a South Melbourne/Sydney Swans premiership HERE IT IS!!

                    That half is about the best run and support play we have had all year. Pity we are still crap at kicking goals.

                      another deplorable effort, sure JW is getting kicks but hes paid to kick goals 2 shocking misses for a guy who can kick. Goodes another shocking goal kicking effort. It makes me cry watching this. Longmire says they practice goalkicking it must be the coke add is all they do. Even the reserves kciked bably yesterday, its becoming joke. Why we all watch this crap is hard to understand and i have been doing it for nigh on 60 yrs.

                        I said this last year when we have the ball Jetta doesnt know where to run, not the brighest in the world, hasnt got a footy brain,
                        TDL need to be in our forward line, he can find space and has a great kick of the footy, also its not just our kicking for goal its our kicking all over the park. Our skills coach needs to be also sacked, our skills are the worst in the comp by a long mile. Just over 50%, that is 20% behind the Saints, kicking the leather off the ball doesnt work.

                          I think they are being taught to close their eyes before they kick ...

                            Don't want to dismantle a good rant but TDL had quite a few misses in the ressies yesterday didn't he? Anyway our kicking is disgraceful. It's a habit now. Even people you expect the kick well have completely dropped the ball...We need to draft some good users in very quickly!

                            I can't really watch any of our games now. Some of the @@@@ we put up is that cringeworthy.

                              The effort is definitely there but our executing going forward has been diabolical.

                                We play bad teams into games by giving them confidence with our poor skills and poor kicking at goal.
