    When he can't even kick the easy shots, because, as you say, he is down on confidence, and he is basically your only forward, yes, he is a liability. And no, there is no one else to use.

      So much better with the commentary on zero, but my friends have to put up with my swearing at the selwoods and every missed swans tackle. Sadly there are many.

      Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.

Extremely disappointing but in a way not surprising....they've been mentally tested and 'on the edge' for about 18-19 weeks now and they're shot.
        2014 ring a bell.

          It's silly to even bother talking about selection mistakes when our best players are having such poor games. Kennedy, Parker, Buddy and Rampe all getting hammered, so it's hard to blame the bottom six. It's just one of those nights. It happens. Console yourselves by thinking: "Oh well, we probably would have lost to Adelaide anyway."

            Pity the bugger who put $100k on the Swans.

              I know people on RWO love bashing Longmire but no coach can overcome the skill errors we have made tonight.
              Yes, although that's in part down to attitude, which he has some responsibilty for. Tonight reminds me of earlier in the year when the Swans players looked like they all had headphones on. Heads went down early.

                Are you kidding me?! Even a half fit Buddy would be picked. Who would you replace him with?! If he wasn't picked and we lost like this RWO would be in meltdown over his non-selection. I'll put your question down to frustration.

                  2nd to 2014 GF. But close.

                            I think some RWO-ers don't recognise the coaching masterclass Longmire is giving. When Josh Kennedy holds aloft the 2018 premiership cup, he'll reveal the secret: "It all began when Horse gave us an extra coupla weeks before the summer break. We missed out on it going into 2017, and it was the ruin of us."

                              Oh dear - sitting here in the Olympic stand with some very disappointed Sydney fans - next year is our year - nothing going right for us tonight
