We may not have even made grand finals with mummy. He had a pretty injury and suspension interrupted season on his first few years at the giants, and we've had Mitchell all the time until now.
Last year was out big chance, and we blew it.Comment

I wonder which players are going to get injured at training this week?Comment

That's what happened late in the game - harder to work out what was going on with him the whole game prior to that.
When the team is going so badly, you're dreadfully slow off the mark at the best of times, and consistently go to ground as though you're wearing ice skates - you'd think you might make an extra effort to get within 10m of your opponent at some point.Comment

Wow.
What a pathetic effort by a majority of the players and in particularly the coaching staff.
Who is the genius that decided to have Buddy play up around the centre, when all he did was fumble and dropped marks all day, and when we got the ball forward there were no talls to take a mark. Except our coaching genius then moved Sinclair to full forward. So we leave the best forward (or maybe once the best forward) stranded in the middle of the ground.
We had a few people who tried hard all day, but there were far too many passengers and our disposal was woeful all day.We could not hit a player from 20 metres.
Our defence looked horribly slow and were always 10m behind the marking Carlton forwards.
Poor Mills was being pushed and shoved all day and not one player went in to support him and out of all the crap that was out there today, I think that was the worse sign I have seen from a Swans team in may many years. No team spirit, no team support. Bloody very disappointing.Comment

The last two GF's were our chance and sadly we didn't turn up for the first one and Buddy got injured in the first few minutes of the second one. If we had won 1 of them we could happily go through a serious rebuild.
I think the losses have seriously damaged the psyche of the team and its one of the reasons why they need to hear a new Senior Coaching voice. They need to feel something big has changed so they can start developing their confidence again.Comment

Swans look as slow and as unskilled as I've ever seen them. The game has changed and left some of our players and our game plan behind.
Has Horse spoken yet?Comment

I see 2014 as the one we blew. We just didn't turn up that day. Last year we did but were hampered by injuries and corrupt umpiring. Infact, had it not been for the corrupt umpires we would have won.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the players are scarred from the poor umpiring. Last year and especially in the GF they were constantly penalized for being first to the ball. Why be first to the ball if the umpires don't reward you?Comment

I think 'sack the coach' is an over-reaction, but I do agree that it would be deflating hearing the coach say the same things (publicly at least), which in the main are just blaming the players.
His public summation of last years GF was disappointing - to say we just had to "work harder" I think wrongly deflected some of our tactical and structural deficiencies. And also placed all the blame on the players who clearly had worked pretty hard to get there.
Longmire has the opportunity to change things for the better - hopefully he uses the opportunity that he now has in front of him.
It's just a shame we've thrown away a season in the process.Comment

I went to the game and am very disappointed with the result and normally don't post straight after the game, but stuff it. We have lost all structure and that was due to the team selection. What have they got against Allir. At least he is prepared to take the game on and is a tall we lacked today. . Surely there is someone else we can bring into the team to help in the ruck. Reid is OK in there, but we need him in the forward line. And on Reid why the hell did we play him in the backline in the last quarter when we needed to kick goals.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous.

b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.

d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
