Who gives a **** about finals anyway So overrated It’s all about the draft these days

[DanWCE]

Blues approaching WCE Derby levels of in game injury.

*not cheering for injuries

 

[garlic munchers]

So too much to claim “at least we are not Carlton”?

 

[KERRPOW]

Voss gorn

 

[Jandamarra]

A little bit of magic left in buddy

 

[Tugga27]

This is the last time i tip the blues

I'm hearing ya.

 

[KERRPOW]

Neither team are very good.

Suprised by the swans lack of depth tbh.

 

[Bender_]

Owies is such a spud he couldn't even crack into our side.

 

[Farang83150]

Can't blame injuries.....according to blues fans a few weeks ago on the MB

 

[Ishmael_]

My tipping has been average this year, but luckily I went off Carlton early and that's single handedly seen me go top.

I don't think Carlton's list is as good as it's viewed, but they still have a lot of alleged 'A' graders and they've fallen off a cliff.

Unfortunately for Voss It's a matter of when and not if he gets the boot. Time to crank up the merry-go-round again.

 

[Farang83150]

Is that Warner's brother that was the swans sub?

 

[Truckosaurus]

Is that Warner's brother that was the swans sub?

Yes. And I think there are still two other brothers coming.

 

[THE A5]

Jetta and other former indigenous players were invited for the swans songs. He didn't miss a beat with his big woo's. Miss that campaigner so much

 

[Lia]

Carlton somehow want for nothing but want for everything at the same time. Those bookends and those midfielders, yet they are still garbage.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Carlton stand like a chilling warning for us about how getting stuck in a revolving door of rebuilds and coaches can go on for a very very long time. Simmo needs to stay for the rebuild if he's up for it and we stop the losses. Got to get more than the 2 wins for the year.

Only have to look down the hwy for that

 

[FKASC]

Only warning that needs to be heeded is that rebuilding through trading and free agency is guaranteed to fail.

It’s a bloody stupid way to rebuild yet so many dumb campaigners are enamoured by the idea of throwing the war chest at a heap of local free agents and expect good results.

You can’t bring a heap of players in from random teams, give them an inflated sense of self worth, and expect them to gel and play as a strong cohesive team.

Spent far too much on top-end players and neglected the bottom 6-8 in the side.

They're cooked but that's the Carlton way.

It's not how many it's who is injured Swans have nearly all their key forwards and backs injured.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

At least we ain't in the position Carlton's in. Bring in all these free agents, a Brownlow medalist nearing 30 with a lot of miles on his body without a single finals game and two Coleman medalists where one couldn't kick a ball into the ocean after extending his contract for SEVEN years and will barely be fighting for bottom half of the top 8. Yikes.

TK broke us

This is what I'm scared of with the idiots desperate to sack everyone.

 

[bzparkes]

Hey, at least we got the warning off of one player and didn't double down.

 

[Rowan18]

They didn't do a proper rebuild. Only went down to bottom 4 for 2 years. Similar to us in 2011-2012, we then had to miss finals in 2013-2014 to get the depth required for a sustained finals run.

 

[Keys]

When we got slaughtered by Carlton there were a few mouthy blues supporters quite willing to gloat after their win on the way out of the ground.

All I could manage in response was a pithy little “Enjoy ninth” half out loud half under my breath

Little did I know 9th was being optimistic

 

[Bender_]

Look at this line-up:



Weitering
Cripps
C Curnow
Walsh

I'd say they are A-grade talent

McKay*
Saad*
Docherty*
Cerra
De Konig
McGovern

B-grade maybe (*not far off A-grade)

Then it just falls off a cliff to good old fashioned spudleyness. The gulf between their top end talent and bottom end is massive.
