#AFL Rd 16 Sydney v Geelong, SCG, 05 July 2018 @SydneySwans #SwansCats

[707]

Ludwig...is it that high? Well, maybe I stand corrected...I only go off what I have seen the last couple of games but maybe I am too harsh. It is 3 a.m. here....

Too much Bourbon nightcap! :-)

Joel Selwood - I am sorry - he is a bloody actor on the field. His first instinct every time is to duck or stage for a free when he is not clear. Reminds me of a certain Richmond player from the 70's that they changed a rule because of him.

That’s Rubbish.

Agree Hotpotato. I reckon he is one of our better players. Has been good at spoiling and getting on his own. Kennedy and Parker do not play well in these conditions, Hayward gone missing, Florent fumbling, Hewett useless with ball in hand and Towers really struggling (to name but a few). Thank goodness for Grundy, Rampe, Cunningham and Lloyd. Centre clearances 1 to 7. Midfield getting thrashed.

A few things

Last week we scored every 10 minutes, tonight we're even worse scoring once every 12 minutes!

Turnovers are killing us

Noted that Hannebery is not as fast as Dangerfield but Reg is about the same speed as Hawkins

15 points flatters us massively, should be 5-6-7 goals down based on play so far, need a huge lift

It's been woeful. Ghow many fumbles and dropped marks? Jones has been the main culprit

Any chance Kennedy repeats his 4th quarter performance at the Cattery?

[dejavoodoo44]

That quarter was about as much fun, as being strapped to an uncomfortable stool, while some sick bastard plays the complete set of Roaming Brian.
Though I suspect that we'll wake up in the second half. What is really needed, is to firstly get the clearances right, but more importantly, run a whole lot harder, just to lessen our chances of handballing to covered players and to increase our chances of hitting targets.

[Blue Sun]

.....and then there was Buddy......

.....but I was about to say, time for Hanners and Jack to go back to the two's.....KJ looks injured anyway, so that may make that decision easier. Time to get some 'go' into the side.

I agree, let them build up some match fitness and confidence and bring them back then.

Even worse, they are handballing to players in the midfield who are covered allowing for easy turnovers in the wrong place.

[troyjones2525]

Agree 100% with this assessment!

Only 91% DE. Why can't he be perfect? Send him back to the 2s until he fixes up this part of his game.

Anyway, we're really not that good of a team and have no chance of a premiership, so I'm not too bothered about winning games. It's more of a development year and getting Blakey in the team. It's sad that so many of our younger players have spent so much time on the injury list.

I wouldn't play Hanners again this year. Just work on getting him right for next.

Time to get COR and Dawson in the side. We have a lot of work to do to become contenders again.

Sinclair has struggled the last two games. He was outpointed by Nankervis last week, who has the worst clearance stats by a first choice AFL ruckman and now struggling against Stanley who is hardly a star.

But in general too reactive, too fumbly, too static whereas the Cats are full of run and just a bit cleaner. Much to improve in the second half.

The 4 you’ve listed and Allir are our only decent players tonight

Hannaberry looks like he has completely lost interest. Maybe he is already going elsewhere next year.

Probably needs a rest

Cameron should’ve been given a couple of games for a chop out

[dejavoodoo44]

By the way, I thought Cunningham has been our best. Strange days.

[Blue Sun]

I can’t believe we’re only a kick behind. Bud just too good.

Zac Jones.....awkward with a dash of bad luck.

Hahahaha, that is brilliant, Stevo! Perfect description of Jones.
