Game Day 2024 Round 06 Bloods v Gold Coast @ SCG @ 1:05 PM

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Lewis Jetta is here and just got interviewed. Forever a Swan and his 2012 season will go down in Swans folklore.

Many thanks for that.

I’m not a fan of Campbell being relegated.

To my eye, he’s got weapons we need - whereas Jordon does not.

We've just gone for straight up pressure

Just think we have a lot of guys who are low-possession players and that can be fine if you're talking about say Blakey or Rowbottom or Papley, but unfortunately too many are hovering too close to that low-impact zone too.

It's your Jordons, your Campbells, your Haywards, your Lloyds, your Florents, your McInerneys, your Roberts'.

In isolation I don't really have a problem with any of these guys as they mostly do a solid job in their roles. But when combined they basically add up to nearly a third of the team being outside flanker types who generally struggle to stick tackles and aren't consistent enough in their skill execution to compensate for that.

Something had to give for someone with a bit of hardness and mongrel.

 

[The King!]

Lloyd maybe should be the sub if anything, he has been woeful

 

[Ed_Gein]

Their first gamer, Jake Rogers, was still in nappy's when we won the flag in 2005. Time flies...

 

[The King!]

Papley owes us a decent game after his recent rubbish. Hope he isn't skipper again

 

[RilesMacca]

big chance to get some ground on the comp and stay a game clear in the top 4, gotta bring the heat in the forward half. It was severely lacking the last two games

I’m not sure the stats would support the assertion that Lloyd is low possession.

 

[RilesMacca]

Lloyd will struggle with there smalls you watch

at least rosas isnt playing, tore us a new one last year

Not sure why Roberts is in this group, nor Ollie. I see no reason for a low possession mid. Rowy must lift his play in general play. Probably our worst player outside of stoppages.

Agree with this. Looking forward to some grunt coming back in with Parks and hopefully Gus. Then we get Mills to sort out our defence.

I wasn't criticising those players individually, I was saying that as a collective there's too many of them and it's been hurting us.

 

[wills2g]

our 2nd and 3rd talls really need to beat up on GC's 2nd and 3rd defenders

Need Mills in the guts I reckon

 

[The King!]

I think our players need to play better than their players

 

[ShireSwan]

Would love to see 2022 "get the ball no matter what" Chad go up against the GC midfield.

 

[The King!]

Lloyd will struggle with there smalls you watch

He looks cooked

 

[Punts]

Need Mills in the guts I reckon

And in defence more imo

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Woah Campbell as the sub!

To me that says he's behind Errol, McInerney and Jordan.

 

[The King!]

Play Papley forward not starting at the centre bounce

been shit since he mouthed off at Essendon, get him scoring goals

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Need Mills in the guts I reckon

For team balance need him back - we are vulnerable there

 

[The King!]

Bounce already I have a 15k run to do

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Hope to see Adams put in a good one, did well for first hitout
