    Our clearance work is a little worrying though! We need some work on that!

      It looks like another grinding game. Our start is never fast. So, annoying that we can't put teams away early on. Are they still tired from last week's game against Hawthorn?

        Why are we so far behind in centre clearances and ballups round the ground?
        He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

          Pretty low intensity game from us ATM. Would like to see quicker movement of the ball. I suppose it is to be expected that Carlton would fire up for the first qtr.

            We need to pick up the pace. Mitchell is our best mid with Kizza getting heaps. Robbo has been pretty good for a debutante. Tip not doing much, Parks, Joey & Hannas all non-existent, 5 between them. Macca good, Shaw playing well, as is Rampe. The whole backline in fact. Teddy & Sammy safe & Sammy hurting them in transition. Jetts good. Our disposal was crap.

                  What do all the fellow RWOers think the reason is for our woeful clearance work? Is it our set up or perhaps our ruckmen not hitting to our advantage???

                    Because we rely on Kennedy for all clearances.

                          Bruce just made the call that Rohan was "a bit ginger"...

                            They'll make a big deal out of the goal celebration now - Bruce will bang on and on about it.
                            I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                              Pykes been a bit average, so that hasn't helped, Blues taggers fairly effective and some sloppy ball handling by our mids, it adds up....and gee I wish Buddy would be more selfish and just kick at goal! Overall, it looks as though the Swans aren't going to bust their gut this week after 6 days post GF replay. Skills could be better though, I thought this would be a great game to hone them. Also, and lastly, I get frustrated by our 'power' forward lines lack of effectiveness and potency. We should be 15 goals by now.

                                Were the Carlton supporters giving it to Goodes for him to do that goal celebration? It seemed like a release of frustration from all the talk this week.
                                I have to admit my first thought was like Dennis in that it will just make the booing worse.

                                Oh great and we have Eddie discussing it!
