“Defender” despite all the reporting being he wants to play mid. Nice little drive by on the way out 😂

The high pressure game plan is either unsustainable for four quarters or does not suit the demographics of the list right now. Interesting decisions to be made as Kingsley seems very strong on the brand he wants to play

Has been weird watching a Board member critique us publicly all year. Not that he's wrong though.

Also need to consider that Pez likely gone, Cumming good chance of going, Peatling also a chance of going A lot of holes to plug if we don’t see the rebound from those guys and those long term contracts do not give us a huge amount of flexibility to bring more bodies in other than through the draft

And final thought on the game, kingers press conference was quite sobering. Obviously not at the level yet. Question is, can we make up for the natural decline of Greene, Cogs, Kelly (still great but worried about injuries), Whitters? I’m not confident

Anyway, gotta say I enjoyed the atmos tonight, hopefully can continue to build the base. Sad how it all ended but hopefully people come back for more next year

Yup. Our assistant coaches live in caravans. We are coming from a long way back

In a 18 team league (soon to be 19 and probably 20 not much longer after that), in a city where you only exist as a subculture on the fringes, you only play 8 games at home, go on the road for eight weeks in a row at the start of the season, can’t fill a stadium for a final.. to throw it away...

There ain’t no coming back from this We played the six best quarters of any team and out in straight sets

Can remember X playing defensive forward role earlier in the year on Tom Stewart, might be the go here

Sorry edited my word jumble

Lol that's a ruse. He's a lock to go to Geelong Not sure on what planet we can let Peatling walk, he’s currently in our top couple of mids and fits the list profile perfectly, given Cogs and Kelly are reaching their twilight years

Those at the ground, what are we thinking about Cogs? Heard Kingy on SEN say he was basically unplayable at centre bounce and that a decision has to be made.

2 months on the road doesn’t help. Boys looked cooked today. Hopefully get our legs back with a few home games. This part of the fixture has the potential to ruin the season so at least we are still in the mix

Highly credentialed no doubt, I'm sure he'll be great. But definitely doesn't look like someone who's ever been anywhere near Western Sydney.

Bit of a throwaway line at the end of this clip. Expecting a big Melbourne club to play a home game at Homebush, assume against us? Surely during the Easter Show

Can understand being fired up straight after the game but if the doc has made the call, you have to live with it. Just hope that all club docs are similarly brave in making those calls

Shattered. But proud

Wouldn’t discard the fact that we’ve have five of the last six on the road (Canberra games are essentially away trips)

Interesting thoughts everyone... My thoughts around the whole "second Sydney team" thing are moreso that the academy zoning should take in more of the inner west (west of Anzac bridge as originally intended), leaving the Swans exclusively with north & east. Over time, you'd hope that translates...

Keen to get people's thoughts on where things are at, which I've seen talked about in various threads. Introduction of Tasmania and a new AFL CEO may now present the opportunity for a change of direction. A few issues I'd nominate are: 1. Overall strategic direction - I'm actually OK with a...

Let’s be honest. None of these guys that are making comments and decisions actually understand the whole of Sydney let alone Western Sydney. Sheppard, Matthews, Pridham and Harley they are all expat Melbournians. We need at least one of the CEO or Chair to be an organic Western Sydney product...

Times up for Dave Matthew’s I think

Always thought Nathan Wilson was a big loss for us, we never had the same ball movement after he left

Apologies I should be saying our Southern NSW zone. But point still stands If aim of the Academy was to grow the game then after 11 years we have Shipley (delisted), Briggs and Peatling from WS to show for it, and as far as I can tell noting much else to follow. You can't say its working.

The academy should be limited to Western Sydney (inner west as well?) and possibly Canberra Don't see how a kid from the Murray is any less of a flight risk then any other country Victorian

Harley Reid

anyone else feel like running through a brick wall for Kingers? I know it’s a nice edit but I’m getting warm fuzzies from the content that’s been coming out about him lately Gotta say I also love the embrace of the tsunami. Building the soul of the footy club!
