Round 7 v GWS

Missed tackles are killing us

I agree our tackling has been really poor.

I agree our tackling has been really poor.

Willing to be all argy-bargy against the Giants but when the balls in play barely laying a tackle

Kind of embarrassing and very unSwans like

However if we kicked straighter and they weren’t such dead eyes the game would be a entirely different story

I don't know why folks are surprised with the Florent to Greene matchup. Toby is too strong in the air for Lloyd, Cunningham and Campbell. I would prefer a different matchup, but it's hard to find one in our defensive unit today. Fox or Rampe would have been more natural opponents.

I do feel for the players and coaches such a drop off from only a few months back is disheartening.

But quite a few are cracking in really hard Parker, Rowbottom and Clarke.

Franklin looks extremely dangerous as does Hayward, Heeney we are probably not being told how bad his foot is seems to have lost all penetration in his kicking.

Francis has been okay as has Ladlams

[longmile]

Never been a Lloyd fan but hes been good this year/today

[Swannette]

And just like that……nice work. Keep it going boys

[longmile]

Looking a lot more silky and hard all of a sudden. Must of been good half time oranges

[Daisi]

Lip reading Buddy is fun.... I've seen a 'wow' and an f bomb so far...

And I know many people think he has played for too long, but he makes a huge difference out there

[longmile]

Ladhams has gone beast mode today

[troyjones2525]

He hasn't been amazing, but Francis looked more comfortable as the game has gone on.

Sheldrick probably playing out of position but hes barely been seen at all

Giants cant miss! Infuriating!

We are in the bottom 2-4 for goal kicking accuracy this year

[Auntie.Gerald]

Same again

We rush in numbers and then an opposition player peels off directly backwards and GWS handball over top to their free player

If we are winning when rushing the ball in numbers no probs

But we are struggling last two weeks in this fundamental area and have to have a plan B

Have to

[Daisi]

Definitely some coaching issues- although it just may be the modern emphasis on attack and the many many incomprehensible frees given away when players tackle. I think the latter causes some players to second guess whether to tackle. The arbitrary nature of the rules is somewhat annoying to us but must be utterly infuriating to coaches and totally bewildering to players

[longmile]

Who ducks more? Selwood or Toby Green?

[redstarforever]

poor defending end to end
