    The worry is, Hanners is one of our most intelligent players.

      My concern was how we had no plan B in the first two qtrs and allowed hawthorn to control the game like they were playing a NEAFL team

      The game was gone

      I find that unacceptable on our home turf against another team low on the table

      I don't think we should accept yesterday's coaching....our inferior game plan vs theirs was what put us in the position we were in the first two qtrs

      80% of teams behind at the end of qtr 3 lose

      We need to have a game plan against a team like yest that puts us in front at half time and 3/4 time to give us the best opportunity to win the last qtr

      Then our guys fought toooth and nail to get back in the game

      Didn't have much left and almost snuck away with the game .......amazingly

      We must be able to adjust our game plan in the parts of the game that matter most and that was the first two qtrs yest

      I don't accept catch up inferior game plans against a team like hawthorn yest

      That's where I draw the line

      Effort and circumstances we played valiantly

      Game plan and coaching was poor

      Even worse was that it has happened with ten times better hawthorn teams and we should know better

      It was like watching a movie on repeat
      We have to be smarter at a coaching level

      Yesterday's game was absolutely critical

        Hey maybe with the shackles off and the bye the swans will win the next 12 or at least 10 of them. Who knows but I know if I were a St Kilda fan or a Richmond fan I 'd be more disappointed cos I can't really see any improvement in them from last year and they are not teams with a lot of injuries and who are supposed to be on the move up

Injuries have killed us this year but are we so smug as members and fans that we think we automatically should be in finals every year. It's a hard road and swans have rewarded us members and fans very well. Just maybe some of our players like Buddy, Kennedy, Parker Hanners, Grundy, Smith etc who have played finals year after year after year need a mental health break that the pressure of not playing finals brings and along with introducing some new blood and a top draft pick will ultimately benefit us. I have belief that swans will benefit from this year even if it means we have some blow outs in the second half of the season to try and change things and bring in other players. Go Swans!

            Hanners gave everything in the second half and copped a knock to the head late. Reckon he's excused.

                      OK, so what the hell did Towers do that it's his fault we lost this game? As far as I could see he was working his proverbial so off??

                        How in the hell did Rampe make best players. A few knocks over the boundary but he seem to stuff up every time he had the ball in hand. Reid off did not cost us much as he had done SFA up to that point. Should have got a free for the sling tackle though. Biggest loss was Lloyd early as he is the glue in transition. We seemed to have no structure and were lucky to get so close through some brilliance from Buddy and a quick double late from Heeney then we gave itb all up.

                          That's harsh on Reid. He was concussed and didn't have a chance to have an influence. We missed Lloyd's possessions big time.
                          He was hit in the head late in the second quarter, but had no influence until that point. 4 possessions. Longmire agreed in the presser he'd been poor until that point. Reid had a storming couple of games at the start of the year, but has since played those familiar games where he flashes in and out. He has elite athleticism but has never developed the capacity to impose himself on games, and unfortunately he's not alone there.

                          I feared for us from the moment Lloyd went down. With Hannebery, he's our best runner. I'm sure we'd have won if he played out the game.

                            I thought he had an ok game but the tackle he missed on the O'Reilly wing was one of the frustrating moments in the last quarter that I remember. I can't even recall what it led to and I'm sure he was buggered but it looked like the Hawks players just strolled around him.

                            Mills needs a rest or a different role or something. He's struggling big time.

                              At times tonight it looked just a bit hard for George. He didn't go that extra centimetre in a few contests. There was one play on the boundary in the last quarter where it looked like Hodge scared him out of it.
                              I don't recall a game from Hewett where he's stood up when others haven't. His good games are in wins. Like Towers he hesitates with the ball and gets caught with it too often.

                                Sinkers and Tippett were both reasonable in the ruck, but neither kicked a goal or had much influence on the game. Tippett was okay around the ground, but we would have been better served with one ruckman and another 'running' player, especially when went down by 2 players.
                                Reckon you're being kind to Tippett. He dropped a lot of marks which if taken could have had a bearing on the outcome and again did not have an impact on the game. Longmire said he was poor in the press conference. I've been willing the guy on, but am losing faith. His tap work was good last night, but he's contributing very little around the ground and there's no sign it'll turn. Sinclair is putting in, but runs out of gas in the second half. Neither have the tank to ruck alone at the moment. Probably only Cameron does.
