The standard of coaching at the Swans is early '90's standard. It is so bad and we are heading in one direction on the ladder, south or down for those directionally challenged.

    This is the worst I have seen the Swans play since the season before Roos decided to go. We were ordinary. We then got a new coach and a new start. But this is not the case now, Longmire has another two years on his contract or is it three. We move the ball so slowly even Ringwood Under 10's would know how to combat it.
    Wolf, your Longmire bashing is getting tiresome. Really tiresome.....

    We lead the inside 50's 27-24.......yeah, I'm shocked too!

        While wolfy maybe goes a bit hard, i dont think it is easy to mount an argument to say we don't look like a team that may meed a change in gameplan and direction.

          Yup awesome guernsey. Even better than the 2009 sash jumper

            We are pretty much the epitome of the unattractive footy the AFL want to eradicate . That probably explains the umpires vendetta against us ( directive from above ) seriously though it was audible on TV the booing from the swans crowd when one of our guys kicked backwards early in the game when he should’ve kicked forwards and kept our momentum going ( towards the goals , the place where you score , and contribute to your chances of winning ). Hair pulling / teeth grinding stuff

                Nick Smith is very ordinary at the moment. Was one of our best but now..

                As to the Longmire bashing. We will never win another premiership under him. Why do we lose games we should win?

                  I’m loving that Aliir is now more confident with his kicking. His first instinct is no longer to handball to a player running past, but to take a short measured and typically accurate kick. Glad we signed him when we did, as his stocks would be rising.

                    Dermott May be right , maybe we should be maximising our game plan around buddy. He looks like our he’s our only chance of winning at this point

                        At least we are passing the ball instead of bombing

                          We can all see it, we just don't rabbit on about something we have no control over.....and I dare say things will change in the off season anyway. Have some faith.....

                            If Macca wants to play on it should be on his terms. His poise & direction is invaluable.
