    At this point, I’d take even that

      We are a bottom four team. It's time to accept that and commence the rebuild. Get as many games into the youngsters and give the old stalwarts farewell games at the end of the year.

      We need to open to any reasonable trades that will allow us to stock up on draft picks.
      Ummm. I think we are already rebuilding, yeah?

        Dude has lost confidence.

              Whatever the rules have to do with it.

              I don't think using perjorarative terrms such as 'useless' are accurate, helpful or kind.

                GW$ have been quite effective with their soccering the ball forward tonight

                I might have to break out some of my old Swans games DVDs to watch a win soon

                      I'm talking rebuild from top to bottom not just the playing list. I think there is something not quite right in the club, we could always expect total effort now that is only quarter by quarter. Just look at the continued contested possession losses.

                          Once the game opened up we clearly cannot go with their run and spread. Their speed and fitness has been just too much for us. Which is what you'd expect from, as someone else said, a synthetic team of top draft picks.

                          What is pathetic is the turn out of the hundred-odd Giants fans. To call this a rivalry match makes a mockery of the tradition and passion of real footy teams and fans.

                            There is this idea that some of our young players are not yet ready for AFL. That implies that those in the team are ready (or more ready) for the big time. Can someone explain to me how Ronke and Clarke are more ready than COR, Rose, McInerney, Wicks, Cameron, Stoddart or virtually anyone in 2's?

                                Part of me wants us to have an Anus Horibilis this year so that the club is forced to reflect and CHANGE.
