Match Day Rnd. 6. Carlton V Sydney. MCG 14.10 pm.

[RogueSwan]

At least we look like we have three natural forwards in Rose, Papley and Haywood. And Jones just keeps going and going, love his effort.
Small things.

I can tell you already what he'll say. "We didn't work hard enough for long enough" "we didn't take our chances" "we weren't hard enough in the contest"... it's the same thing every week.

I don't think he will after losing to Carlton. Feels like he needs to say and do something different. Or else it's the definition of madness

Still feels like the Swans players think they are a good team.

What is seeming increasingly remarkable is how well we did last year.

[Innerwestswan]

At least Papley is workin his arse off.

[RogueSwan]

It is probably only part of it but lack of confidence had gotta be hurting us.

Conservative (sensible?) play by Carlton now.

Oh dear...I think the lack of changes in the coaching department is hurting us. We can't seem to be able to adjust to the new way the game is played. Is it time to think about John Longmire's position. In retrospect the Tippet deal has been a disaster. We lost too much for too little in return.

I agree. The coaches need to be held accountable, not just the players! They selected a side with only 1 (mediocre) ruckman. Knowing damn well Tippett wasn't going to play leaving Reid to play a lot of the day in the ruck hence having a tiny forward line...then playing buddy as an extra midfielder...good idea fellas!

Could it possibly be that the loss of the concessions and all the salary cap nonsense has finally caught up with us? The AFL want Sydney fans to follow the Giants and think we are fickle enough to drop the swans when they lose...all that's going to happen is that fewer people will watch AFL...

I'll be going to every game at the SCG. It's a great place to watch footy, I'll sing Sweet Caroline and I'll catch up with the people who sit near by, and probably either study or join the lady who knits while she watches...

and we might win a few games...who knows...I love Buddy too...

How bad is it going to be now? How to fix?

[Merdo5555]

When will we ever put the effort/recruiting into improving our kicking?

I think you and Ludwig need to talk. Let us know what agreement you come to.

I think us supporters certainly did until today...We clearly over achieved last year which has given us false hope now.

Just hard work & skills training. We've gone a long way in past with hard work, but never been a highly skilled team.

When the work rate falls off, we're toast.

The issue is what do we change to win a match?
