Its funny but who is the one that selects the players both on game day and at the end of the year? Last time i checked it was the coach!Comment

Be tough to be a fwd with no clean ball fwd, hard to believe the clearances numbers on AFL app...... i saw a team that hardly possessed the ball and didnt win the 50/50
Campbell, Sheldrick and Ollie good.
So much not too like, be hard for Paps to attack the ball so hard and so much zip to watch Jmac who looks like he is stoned ball in handComment

Games are nearly always turgid when it is Lyon vs Longmire. Will always be that way - but that was right up there with the very worse.
I think Longmire has been a sensational coach and is a huge part of the club. But I do wonder if we are reaching that point where a change is needed - more so for a fresh start than anything else, and a different voice at the helm. I've struggled this year to understand what type of footy we are trying to play. I know injuries have hurt us, but tonight was as disjointed as you'll see - what you expect in the first week of pre season, not at this point in a season.
Maybe we will get the fresh start next year when Buddy is gone and suddenly players aren't so desperately trying to kick to him every five seconds.
I do wonder on the subject of Buddy just how many goals he would have kicked had he got even a resemblance of balance in how he is umpired. Just insane what defenders get away against him but go up the other end (or indeed most other players) and the actions are a clear free kick."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

Great another 2 years of that turgid rubbish, do you think another 2 seasons with the Premiership the club might finally work out its time to move on. 10+ years far any coach is too long, the only exception was Sir Alex Ferguson every other coach has consistently failed after the 10 year period.
Players have gone backwards at a rate of knots, the debacle of the GF is coming back to bite.
A performance like that should never have been excused the way it was. Being beaten is fine being embarassed isnt.Comment

Maybe the thing that hurts most is that St Kilda was bagged so hard for their recruitment and strategy by half this forum last few years
Saints vision and resolve to go hard for Ross is an A plus move.
Their brand of footy is building nicely and very hard to break down. Very hard.
Maybe 5th on the table in 2023 is a pass?
But we did have 5 of so snr best 22s not playing and I must say our game day strategy is lacking any flexibility right now to counter smart teams.
We had nothing to kick to and we were nullified and taken to check mate in the end."be tough, only when it gets tough"

Shocking game from us-too many mistakes, fumbles, miss-kicks, bad handballs and at least 3 passengers: Clarke, Wicks and Hayward. Also poor from JMac. The rest tried hard but simply not good enough on the night. We can’t carry this many passengers!
Can’t see Clarke and Wicks in the team as they are just not up to scratch. Surely we can find better as we’re going nowhere with those 2- I’m sorry but we need more talent than those guys can deliver.Comment

Positives
Campbell was excellent
Melican was solid again
Sheldrick showed some good signs as an inside bull
Negatives
Hickey looks done
McInerney has lost all energy in his kicking
Heeney gets a knock again and struggles
Wicks and ClarkeComment

Ross totally out coached Horse today. Not to mention our incredibly bad disposal rate, 46%. You have got to be joking. I am very angry. This is the worst defeat. They just murdered us in the last. That tells me we ARE UNFIT. We are not fit to AFL standard.
Our mids made it so hard for the forwards. Not only that I did not see more than one shepherd today. One. That means our players are not playing for each other. Horse hates shepherd's. He said so. Now it is coming home to bite him. Because Ross loves shepherd's and he @@@@ing beat you Horse.
Horse was out coached, outsmarted and totally dominated by Ross and he had no answer. He just yelled. @@@@ you. At least make changes that are going to make a difference. Don't just go totally defensive like you did. Ross knew you would do this. The players did not know who they were playing on. Didn't have a, clue what they were doing and if they got the ball how to get it out. There was nobody to kick to except a big wall of Saints players. You effing idiot. Even up the play. Do not drop everybody back you panicking @@@@wit.
As much as I like Horse, as a person his days of coaching our talented group are over. He panicked. He put every player except McLean back.
Time to look for someone new. I think Horse has taken us as far as he can

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
