Great to see Gazza back - hope they haven't rushed him back, but he will be a good addition the forward line, given our struggles up there in recent times."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Article on Swans website by Henry Playfair.
Talking abut Isaac Heeney one line was 'Its a shame for the rest of the team that he stands out'. A bit of a backhander to the boys I would think. The team should not be depending on a 1st year player 18 y.o. to take the heat. They should be protecting him.Comment

All well and good for coaches to take cheap shots at our players but they carry as much, if not more, blame for our recent poor performance in terms of game plan and preparation.
When the going gets tough, I rarely see innovative or timely decisions coming from our coaches box to force our players back in a risk-taking and attacking mindset.Comment

+1 Agree.
I have been very disappointed this year - not only with how we have played, but the apparent lack of coaching options and strategies we have deployed. Last week was a prime example, we had Nankervis in the forward line and Tippett in the ruck. Goodes was 1 out with 2 and sometimes 3 defenders with no assistance, so when we did get the ball forward, it came straight back into our overworked defence. How can we kick a winning score when we don't have any forward structures (hate that word as it covers a lot of issues).Comment

New to the Forum!
Wish I could get to the game tonight! I reckon the boys will be keen to lock in a Top 4 spot and we need some percentage!Comment

+1+1.Innovation and flexibility in the coaching model is lacking.Playfairs comment is hardly appropriate for a team lacking confidence and will hardly assist team unity.We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!Comment

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)Comment

Are we playing tonight?
You wouldn't think so if you checked out AFL.com.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

Unfortunately, my current rule of thumb is "no McGlynn, no win". I think that speed is only part of the issue we have at the moment. I believe that our real issue is our lack of spread because every team that has pantsed us this year has done so on the spread. Unfortunately, Benny is the best we have at spreading and without his gut running to advantage, we look very limited.Comment
