Glad we spent millions on two forwards

while the defence remains short and rots
We have no ruckman
Yeah middle is talented though few of them are soft

We also overpay reid who is a useless spud

And overpay a father son we wont pick

Too many players who show a little eg jetta cunningham jetta and do nothing most of the game

And over the hill players who have been great servants but are done

Its round 1 but i was worried pre season and am more worried now maybe im a bad fan, but this isnt a premiership contender, it will struggle to play finals
 
Like you, what about Harry and Jetta , got the heart of a split pea

I like you too mate. They're not much better, need some time in the 2's hardening up.

Was furious we forced blokes like Mumford, Everitt and others out the door to get in Franklin and Tippett when we had won a GF without a big forward. We showed our soft belly in the GF and we're going to roll over this year as well.
 
I really worry that Longmire is not a good coach. He is the one that is supposed to shape the players mindsets but so many times when the heat is on the Swans just look like they are not interested and crumble under pressure.

His slingshot gamestyle was great, and won us a flag, then immediately went out to completely reverse it and came up with some shit that I don't even know how it constitutes a game plan.
 
Yeah Goodes hasn't been great. Might be a figment of my imagination but I seem to remember the AFL banning us from recruiting any established players. If Goodes and Shaw retired we'd have two kids that wouldn't be getting a game anyway. For all we know he was asked to stay so we didn't have to concede the year as a rebuild.
 
Actually unless he wins the ball in forward fifty stoppages (and then kicks the goal) he is going to be a liability. Doesn't make you a band wagoner. Makes you someone who recognises that he isn't the player he was.

He and Macca can practice pointing and complaining to Umps in the 2's if they want.

Even 2013 we looked fixable though with tippett part of it

And i realise franklin carries the side a lot and earns his keep

Might be a figment of my imagination but I remember us having an A-grade ruckman and some decent utilities that were bundled out the door to bring in the millionaires.

We have Pyke as our number one ruckman. That is laughably embarrassing. It only gets worse when you look at who his back up is. We wonder why we don't win the clearances?

Not true

Tippett is first ruck today

Pyke is just nothing now
