Can’t say I’m a strategist but to me it looked like they just got better - less turnover, better at the loose ball, cleaner hands, better decision making and probably a few more. Not sure how any of that is our coachs’ fault.Patterns emerge, but do they mean anything? No.Comment

Tigers were cleaner with the ball after half time .Comment

Really disappointed with the boys tonight, don’t think this team is as good as we and they think they areComment

What an utter garbage second half. Not much leadership on show out there at times - brain dead football, alongside brain dead umpiring at times.
Maybe the AFL should consider cards for serious misconduct though. Nankervis will be getting a holiday for that blatant bump yet we had to suffer through almost 3/4s of the game down a key man.
What a microcosm of our frustrating season in a nutshell however."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

We are officially done for the year
Give Buddy his farewell and move on..... He is as predictable as a 1st gamer with ball in hand.
The crucifixion of Fox is hard to watch, destroyed the guy.
Our talk is down, how many guys ran into trouble, they never did, tapped instead of getting possession etc.
Gulden, rowy, parks they all run into troubleComment

I thought their second half was one of the worst half of football they have played all year, barring the Geelong game. Losing contests time after time, thrashed at centre bounces. Hickey is at the end. I would give McAndrew a go in the ruck. They really need some good draft picks.Comment

You’re playing the same song time and again, mate. The boys just weren’t up to it tonight. Just have a look at the shots Richmond missed and the entries in their forward 50. We were simply outplayed in the second half and too many mistakes- look at Ramp’s last kick looking for Buddy and went straight to a Tiger- we were 1 point behind at that stage.
You can’t blame Horse for players’ mistakes.
Sorry guys- we didn’t deserve to win this game.Comment

Its never the coaches fault. Have a small fast midfielder as your sub would have made no difference at all given that had 1 tall forward and the forecast was for rain. Are you kidding. The fact McCartin had to play forward in the last quarter confirms what a disastrous decision it was.
What did John do to change then game, oh mills to the backline when we are getting smashed in the middle. How many times is that going to fail before we actually have a new plan, you know one that doesnt involve the same tired and failed tactics.
But no had nothing to do with John as usual.

Man for man are you saying Richmond has the better team? No they dont thats the problem! This is an extremely poor Richmond side.
And yes i am that says everything doesnt it. Am waiting for a John tactical masterclass to prove me wrong.Comment

All round terrible effort and yes, Coaches have a lot to do with it
Poor selection when our best defender by a mile Tom Mc is put fwd to fit in.
Someone tell the magnet man its not under 10s, not everyone has to play everywhereComment

Biggest mistake was playing Francis as the sub.
Biggest worry is McCartin’s form. He was going to be our All Australian defender. He is seemingly rated lower than Melican and Francis now based on the fact he got shifted forward.
Next big worry is Hickey. Put a fork in him, he’s done. I would really love to have a long term, stable ruck. I hope like hell that Ladhams can get it together.Comment

Richmond beat us at the scramble, contested and ground ball in the second half. A few of our better ball users in Rampe, Blakey and Gulden missed a few critical kicks in the second half. And the Hickey fade out hurt.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

I watched the first half, couldn't watch the second half....the PLAYERS were making too many mistakes early in the third, so turned over to the cricket. Come back here to read the usual suspects, ie: those who think they are AFL standard coaches
singing the same old coach bashing song. It really is tiresome. Nighty night, back to the cricket....which by the way, isn't going too well either. Maybe they should sack McDonald yes? Any self appointed cricket coaches out there?

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.

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.

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.
