Match Day Thread Rnd 9 V Carlton.

Just like a haka to me but omg Eddie is being a huge wanker comparing it with secretariat signs in Irish football

We look jaded. Very lethargic tonight. Often after a big game we are a bit stale next game. A lot energy spent last week. The major problems tonight are the clearances and disposal. If we can just clean the disposal up in the second half we might just win by 100. At the moment we are not going to win by that and we could even fade the way we are looking, not bad enough to lose. Tired. But as I say the lethargy might be beaten out of them at half time.

Robbo has had a good debut so far. He has been right amongst it and kicked a goal or two. I was told earlier this season by Peter Burbakov that Robbo was one to watch and he was having a particularly good pre-season, very fit. He almost got a couple of marks and watch the second half as I think he might just pull a big one down.

We are killing them in the ruck and should be winning far more ball from the stoppages. Have to improve that in the second half.

Oh and of course Dermott is now giving his considered opinion

[dejavoodoo44]

Jetta has been all class tonight, Robinson has made an impressive debut and Buddy is still outscoring Carlton.

Secretarian damn only auto correct could replace a mindset with a race horse

Loved Goodseys war dance, but I fear the masses reaction. It will divide opinion, and now it's being featured at half time. The haters will go ballistic, but I say, "you go Adam", it's obvious he's sick of it, and it's his way of saying to those same haters, "Go and G** @@@@@@@**", and I don't blame him, frankly......

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???

Nothing new. Lazy work by our midfielders at centre bounces happens every week. We are getting beaten 8 to 2 from the centre against a team that has no midfield. A stat was shown on the screen late in that 2nd Q. 8 to 6 in Carlton's favour of marks from opposition kicks. Do we just cop that Kennedy and McGlynn turn it over by foot every week. Hanners off the outside of the boot (because he has no right foot) was poor late in that quarter, caused a turnover and a shot for goal. Anyone think we are over possessing.

Clearly Adam doesn't care what people say or think of him or he wouldn't have highlighted himself tonight.

Carlton fans from that area currently being escorted out by security/police...the washup from all of this is going to be interesting.

Brereton already being his usual condescending self at half time on the issue. He is already getting bagged for it.

[Scottee]

McGuire a cold blooded assassin. Brereton an ignorant accomplice. According to them the kiwis should stop their hakas because it would cause offence. Hey maybe Goodsey is sick of being heckled by a pack of brainless no hoped drunkard opposition supporters. Swans supporters cheer Goodsey drown the booing fools out!

Clearly making derogatory remarks.

[Legs Akimbo]

+2

[Nico]

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.

Hit outs 35 to 13 at half time in Pyke's favour.

[crackedactor]

Goodsey dance was quite relevant considering the booing last week.. I think the booing was mostly 90% racial. When done goodsey.! Gee our skill levels are down and Kennedy seems to have two left hands. Big question mark over all the money Tippett is getting paid. Probably the most overpaid footballer in the AFL next to daisy Thomas.
