Mick Malthouse...annoys me!!!

Used to hate Grant Thomas, now I think he's one of the very few who make sense.

Have you had any recent blows to the head?, that might explain it.

Given his record against us I would say outside of our coaches he probably does know us better than anyone. He is in the media to speak his opinion. I think he may have an inkling of what he is talking about, you dont have to agree with him.

I agree! Mick is a great coach and a very good analyst. The problem is we are too precious about criticism. All supporters are that is why Hawk, Bullies & Saints as well as Blues supporters are in a huff with him. If our coaches can use his analysis and improve parts of our game that need upgrading then well and good. He is not just making comments just because he doesn't like Sydney! He is making them because he has analysed our game. Our game can be fantastic but there are parts that are in need of huge improvement. Kicking out is one of those that need huge improvement. Mick pointed this out in a game I was watching and I agree with him. This is one area we have to work on. we constantly bomb the ball to a contest only to see it come back again and put the defenders under immense pressure. Bombing the ball into the forward line without putting it to the advantage of our forwards is another point that both Mick and Barney Matthews made. These are sides of our game we could improve.

Remember no matter how good you get at something there is always room for improvement!!!

Is there an echo in here?

His current day analyses of the swans applies to how we played in 2008-2010 maybe, not how we play today.

Therefore when he does comment about us TODAY, he uses a lot of knowledge about hoe we played back in 2008-2010....which is incorrect. Seems to me he is just towing the usual melbourne meia line of...'The swans play that lock down style of football where they like to strangle the opposition.....and so on"... It's just wrong!!!
