      Rampe needs to learn to keep his feet.
      Jesse White needs to learn you can't easily mark the ball with only one hand in the air.

      Watching the first 5 minutes of play, our performance comes down to two things. Lack of accountability which is probably because they are not working hard enough - too many hawks running around without being marked. The second is poor disposal, which is no doubt because the hawthorn players are applying a lot of pressure to us.

        I reckon Jesse needs to take most of the ruck work to allow Pyke to stay forward. He's the only tall who looks like taking a contested mark in our forward line.
        Put Jesse in the ruck? To watch him continually fall on his arse? To watch him stand like a stunned mullet when he doesn't touch the ball? You're kidding...

          Buddy certainly has a roughhead on him tonight.

          Its the thrashing we had to had. Woeful disposal, outplayed by a much better side.

          Back to the drawing board. Looking at a 80 point loss at this stage although Hawks will pull back in lat qtr and we will make it a 46 point defeat.
          Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

            He's not doing much worse than others and contributing more than Reid.

              Said it a few weeks ago ... but we need to drop Reid ... I know he's on a big money contract but he's really not doing enough to warrant a spot in the team.

                They're both contributing basically nothing. But Sammy at least applies some defensive pressure...

                  I don't think White should be judged on this performance, this is a poor team effort. If Reid is dropped, who would take his place?

                    We are not cohesive - getting in each others way - and look flat and tired. And it pains me to say it - hawthorn are looking good. And I wish that BT Would shut the F up! God I hope we beat the crows I will be right annoyed to go over there, drag friends to the game against their will and we lose!
                    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                        You're exactly right. He should be judged on all his previous performances. Most of which have been abysmal.

                            White has been 10x better than Reid ... at least he shows some hunger

                                I am not starting a White v Reid argument. I'm clearly saying White should never, ever, wear a Swans guernsey again. Get rid.
