    we had our balls busted thru the pies counter attack and that quite frankly is a massive coaching strategy error !!!

      lots of kick and hope and poor kicking under sometimes pressure that wasn't really there.

        Yes. They are underdone. It's like they haven't had a preseason. And we miss Mumford. I'm not against franklin but you have to wonder. Holding on to Mumford and picking up Heath shaw or josh hunt might have been a better bet. On the plus side Jesse White certainly didn't hurt us.

          I thought Derryx looked pretty useful for his first time out

            He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

              This was a sloppy, unskilled spectacle between 2 bottom 4 teams, and the better team won. Now I know how it must feel to be a Demons supporter: You start looking at the draft after round 2.

              ROK was never quick, but I cannot believe the dropoff from last year. He actually cannot play footy anymore.

              Derickx is also useless. We might as well play Nanny or Naismith with we want to play 2 ruckmen.

              We have to start looking to the future, because this year is over. It's not that we went 0-2 against 2 of the weaker teams going around, but we are poor side in every aspect of the game.

                Really disappointing performance, poorly coached and way too many passengers. I agree with Bodgie though Derryx contested well and Sammy Reid was a little better. Derryx will probably get a week or two for his hit on Pendlebury.

                  I thought his ruck work was good but felt he turned it over a few times.

                    He was no worse than lrt.

                    Offered little around the ground but basically wasn't out marked.

                    In any case it is so irrelevant. It is the top end of the list that needs looking at.

                      I just thought we looked so slow and unfit, even Rhyce Shaw had a shocker, we just seemed to be fumbling all over the ground, they seemed to have cleaner use of the ball.

                        Get a minder on Buddy and Hanners, to get them straight home tonight! If those two are photographed out anywhere tonight having a drink, all hell will break lose!

                          I liked to know why do we play injured players, clearly Jack was not fit to play tonight

                            I've seen piles of dog @@@@ prettier than that performance tonight.

                            Poor old Buddy, gone from a team that could hit a gnat by hand and foot from 50 metres to a team where most couldn't hit water from a boat.

                            Anyway off to watch an Adam Sandler movie to remind myself that there are more horrific things in life than watching the Swans get beat.

                              Swans have no form.... and they look unfit to me......

                              Adelaide, in Adelaide, is going to be very interesting...It's time for the bloods to stand up.

                                Crowd of approx 32,000 - terrible turnout. Would have gotten more at our home ground. The sooner we are rid of playing the Pies out there the better. So sick of watching us mess things up out there.
