    What we are trying today is not just bomb it long to a contest. I commend the Swans for giving it a go. But we aren't the Western Bulldogs. It's not working.
    Thought exactly the same

      What ever needs to be corrected with this side I'm pretty sure won't be getting fixed this season i'm sad to say. The sooner the off season comes the better. I'm glad I'll be overseas for the next 7 weeks. Arrive home just in time for the GF. I will die of shock if the swans are in it.

        Does anyone know why Laidler was subbed out? He is going to be a loss in the backline.

          12 years of defensive footy, which won us 2 flags, but you can't just flick the switch and play a running game. Requires a big preseason and tons of training, not a couple of sessions over 2 or 3 weeks.

            It is sad, because I feel the same way.
            Just then there was a flurry of under pressure handballs until the last in the chain, Teddy, had to just kick and hope.

            --Go Gary Go!--

            We seem to just try three or four handballs without even looking to see if they are necessary.
            Instead of seeing if a kick is the better alternative the team seems to think "well, I'm the second in the handball chain so I can't kick it, better just handball it to whoever I see first and then point out to them who they should kick it to, even though the target was more open before I passed it."
            I have noticed that Brandon doesn't play like this.

                Loving the criticism from Carey tonight! Spot on and hopefully more media jumps on board so it is deafening and the coaches might take note!

                    We are a rabble down back! Absolutely embarrassed to follow this side. We are playing a side who they should be desperate to destroy considering what their president has done but look disinterested...

                            Do you think the coach might want to tell them to stop hand balling to another player in a worse position

                              Yes great tackle and that's how we should be tackling.

                              Hanners is having a shocker. He has given up chasing a couple of times.

                              Yet again bad handballing in the defensive 50 costing us a goal.

                                Can we find another like Rohan? He and Jack the Younger (and Heeney) are standing out for me tonight as not playing the same style as the rest of the team.
