    I can't bring myself to watch!

      Looks to me, that every time he gets the ball, he has 10 options swirling around in his head...And often goes for the cute, most ambitious option, with limited success.

      IMO, he needs to forget the razzle dazzle, and simplify things...
      Spot on, ernie koala.

        I’m assuming McCartin will be back next week. Good to give him a rest as well as only 21.

        McDonald and Campbell needed rest. Now they will be fresh for tough games against Geelong and Melbourne. Well done match committee.

        I don’t know what’s going on with Stephens? He must be lacking versatility and one on one defensive skills. You would have thought if Campbell went out then Stephens could easily slot into the half back flank.

        I would like to see Heeney spend some time as spare man in defence. Brilliant at that job as he reads the ball amazingly through the air and distributes well.

        Could Dawson just take every kick in? He has a Bryson DeChambeau weapon of a left foot while Lloyd is laying up. Why don’t we have someone with DeChambeau capability taking every kick in. It stretches the field for the defence.
        Definitely wish Dawson would take the kick-in or be the short receiver. Lloyd's "long" kick-ins lack penetration, direction, speed through the air and imagination. If they find a teammate it's more good luck than anything else.

          Yep. Would people be happy if I referred to Jordan Dawson as Dawson DeChambeau. He kicks it like DeChambeaur hits it.

            I'm at work but I just had a quick look at the reserves v Gold Coast and seemed Stephens has had about 30 possessions

              Assume Campbell will be our sub given he didn't play VFL?

                I noticed Stephens limping pretty badly near the end of the game......hope he's ok.

                    I’ll would have to agree MCS. Bryson is on his own. Dawson did not live up to it today.

                    There is charisma to a player who can do a skill amazingly well.

                    I guess the best Swans long kick is not Dawson, but former academy player Michael Dickson. By far the best punter in the NFL.

                    I always wondered why the Swans have never tried to get Dickson back into the fold. Surely if your the best player in your position in the NFL and can impress Pete Caroll then you should be able to impress Longmire.
