    Where was our extra defenders and Teddy is a so slow, nil pressure the whole game.
    Steady on this had nothing to do with "Leadership" this isn't preschool when your told when to take a nap this is senior footy if towers can't make decisions himself its on him

      Towers didn't lose us that game. Allowing Richmond to kick 5 goals at the start of the last quarter is what lost us that game. The 3/4 time lead should have been unassailable. Our midfield with the exception of Hanners and Lloyd were @@@@e tonight.

        Disappointed with the lack of leadership tonight.
        And oh my don't we rely on Joey so much.
        I feel you. I desperately wanted to take out my frustration too. Its going to be a flogging next week.

          Yep! And the players responsible need to be made accountable!

            Big tick to Cunningham & Tippett. Richards - "weak as".

              Richards did directly cost us 2 goals that I saw. Champion player, but he's getting a little slow.

                  We missed JPK
                  I'm not one for normally bagging individuals but those 2 should never play a senior game again! Both aren't up to it and what a wasted draft pick they have been for us...

                    He did lose us the game. If he went wide to Franklin, run down clock, then long along the boundary line, we would have won. No doubt.

                      Unfortunately for us Parker and Mitchell had their worst games in a while when we needed them to step up to cover for JPK. But as snajik said the opening minutes of the final quarter were the costliest. Their first five inside 50s resulted in goals. That is very unSwanslike

                        Yep, despite being the joke of the football world, time and time again they beat the Swans.

                          Disheartening loss. The thing that strikes me with Richmond is that they practically sit on top of their opponents, and I wish we did the same more often.

                          There were outstanding efforts from some of our boys tonight. Hanners was his usual self, hardworking, not always the tidiest disposals but kept us in things. Tippett had a decent game, Rampe was terrific, Buddy likewise despite at least two clangers, Harry was good, and we had useful cameos from the new boys. We really missed Joey.

                          I'm not going to go through the below-par players, except to generalise that we gave up the ball too easily and didn't impose ourselves on the ruck. The best to hope for is that we learn from it.

                            Trying to come up with positives.
                            Franklin was amazing (although please stay out of the midfield).
                            Tippett was fantastic
                            Harry came good in the second half.
                            Heeney has some nice clearance work.

                              Unfortunately I called it at 8.33 - never underestimate a struggling team - Richmond always come good against us - dunno why - but I hope they get thrashed (Richmond I mean) from now on as their penance!! ??
                              I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                                The most disappointing part for me was the 5 goals the Tigers kicked at the beginning of the last qtr. That lost us the game. No pressure from us and easy goals for them.
