Why are we playing Swallow over Rogers?Easiest way to look at it. We’ve got 10 in the bottom 12 of DE
Read the injury list. Unfortunately it is rising every week.Why are we playing Swallow over Rogers?
Rogers is injured. And if you thought Swallow was the problem today. There’s bad news coming. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s in our “best” for today. 28 touches, 78% DE, 6 score involvementsWhy are we playing Swallow over Rogers?
You guys are so much better at home that you're still a chance. Beat the Lions and Melbourne, you should only need to beat Richmond and West Coast away to make it. Not saying you're a shoo-in but you're not out of it by any means. Sure if you can't beat West Coast or Richmond you won't make it and certainly won't deserve toLegitimately only way we can scrape into finals is by winning every game and results going our way.
Only 2 games left are at home so obviously that’s not happening
It’s so over
Yeah not sure why people always go after Swallow. Hasn’t been the problem all year.Rogers is injured. And if you thought Swallow was the problem today. There’s bad news coming. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s in our “best” for today. 28 touches, 78% DE, 6 score involvements
We don't deserve to make it. I haven't seen a mature performance from the club all year. Finals teams win everywhere.You guys are so much better at home that you're still a chance.

Swallow was ok, he wasn't the problem today and that's not what i was trying to say. The game has past him and the older boys, we know what we get from Swallow, Holman etc, we've been to the well too many times. Didn't know rogers was injured but I'd rather see the future than the pastRogers is injured. And if you thought Swallow was the problem today. There’s bad news coming.

Once you're there, anything can happen.We don't deserve to make it. I haven't seen a mature performance from the club all year. Finals teams win everywhere.
Honestly, doesn’t matter how we recruit, it is always wrong. We used to go after speedy smalls and flankers and got smashed in the middle after a few injuries there. Changed to contested midfielders and skilled talls to replace our leaving players and got smashed on the outside instead.As an aside, what I would give to have GWS’ list and recruiting team. That is one club entirely on the same page. They have fast, hard working small forwards and skilled rebounding defenders coming out of their a*s and keep adding to their stocks each year and throwing them at you. They know who they are.
Compared to the absolute mess that is our list and our complete disdain for anyone with even VFL level skills.
Look at our VFL team from today and tell me who should come up? I agree, but it’s just not possible right now.Swallow was ok, he wasn't the problem today and that's not what i was trying to say.

We played Davies & Rosas last week and they got suspended. If they didn't the senior guys you named wouldnt of been consideredTime to acknowledge a glaring fact for all those who have worn rose colored glasses all year. We are just NOT good enough and don't deserve to play finals. That won't be happening anyway. We are a PC correct team of young men who don't know how to play a tough brand of football. We're like a bunch of privaye school kids who by their position in life, think it'll all come so easily to them. We need more jumk yard dogs like Will Graham and Bodi Uwland before we can hope to be challenging for anything. Why do we persist with the likes of Sexton, Holman - even Swallow? These guys will not be part of the next phase. Why was Graham a Sub while these guys who play with half his grunt get the nod. We are deficient in top end talent with experience - it shows every time we play away. Dimma must drag some elite experienced players up here and forgo all the kids - we have enough. So disappointing on so many levels.

We’ve drafted maybe 3 kids on our own merit in the past 4 years because we keep adding academy players.As an aside, what I would give to have GWS’ list and recruiting team.

Gonna cook us again this year when we add a mid who hacks the ball and no gun small forwards or outside usersWe’ve drafted maybe 3 kids on our own merit in the past 4 years because we keep adding academy players.
It’s a double edged sword.
