Hannas; Needs time in the reserves. He is an acute example of playing players on reputation alone. He always takes about three to four games to come good and play decent footy after an injury. This time it seems he is more restricted than normal and needs to regain match fitness over a period of time. That is what the reserves are for and that's where he should be until fully match fit. He is a wonderful player but even wonderful players have bad patches and this is a team game and individuals who are not performing in the team structure need to play reserves. (12 disposals)
Kizza; He uses the ball so poorly at times and at other times so well. But he has been patchy at best. his ball use has ruined several very good plays that should have resulted in easy goals. This to me is unforgivable for an experienced player. I can forgive a novice but not a senior player who should be leading by example. He is not getting much possession either and is not impacting the contest like he once did. (14 disposals, 2 clangers, 2 dollies)
Gazza; I know Gazza has had a terrible year emotionally, physically and sociologically. I am well aware of that and the stress engendered by the loss of a child. But the stress of AFL footy would not be doing him any favours at this stage either. I believe some time in the reserves to play the game at a more comfortable level without the high stress environment of AFL would be what the doctor ordered. (9 disposals, 6 clangers)
Nick; I think if the coaches are serious they need to play this bloke in a position where he can be damaging. That position is either mids or half back not on a wing or forward. He fluffed one kick so badly I was astounded. Even a wonderful kick like Newman has been affected by our training players to lose their skills.
(11 disposals, 1 clanger)
Riley; For an outside mid he did not get involved in play enough. He needs to get 20 at least in that slot. (6 disposals, 2 clangers)
Harry C; Dear, dear Harry. He has been playing well. This is what saves him. That and the fact that when he does get the ball he seems to impact the contest. (13 disposals)
Time to send a message to senior players that you have to earn your spot in a Swans side. That is why other teams win premierships and we are still the bridesmaid on too many occasions. We play injured senior players rather than play depth. We give senior players a free pass even if they are not playing well. Time to stop that. We have the depth use it.

Re: Robinson, he has been killing it in the reserves (good Neafl player, ?AFL player?) but ultimately rewarded for good form and Paps, well that was a gimme.....
