Autopsy Unswanslike performance vs Richmond

Why the caution to post such brilliance?
Yes he had 13 and missed a couple. He also managed half of our total F50 tackles.
No doubt you are gonna offer valid justification as to how the rest of the team could only manage 31 between them but somehow Rowy's worth in the side is questionable?
He also led our contested possessions and pressure acts.
Fantasy Points aren't the be all and end all but he was BOG by a mile with 82pts at half time. It's no surprise really that he tired in the 2nd half and was outshone when some others decided to pull their fingers out.

The claim by yourself and a few others that he was poor last week is rubbish. While it wasn't his strongest showing, the claim that he was to blame as Merritt supposedly ran rings around him and single-handedly kept the Bombers in it, is absolutely false.


Rowbottoms magnet is glued to the team board and rightly so.

Maybe we can argue he can be taken off the leash more , but then who do I want streaming out of the middle with it? Gulden , Heeney or Rowy?

He is a heart and soul type player and I think his season has been pretty good.

Won't make the All Australian but yeah not sure what some want from him.
 
On a positive how good does Blakey strike the ball going for goal. He made the long shot look easy as.

Could he push a bit further up the ground more often? Guess we miss the half back drive.

Sometimes I just wish Horse threw things around a bit more, like Blakey at a bounce or Hayward to the backline , or an opponent to Vlaustin

I'd love to see blakey spend some time in the middle. With his size he could be a real point of difference. The only issue is that he's such a weapon off hb

Yep rob Peter to pay Paul. But maybe Roberts frees him up a bit?
 
Anyways the key word is "former" partner so i dont get the whole argument to begin with you dont own the person if things are mutually over.

Sort of like Brownless and Garry Lyon situation which i thought Lyon did absolutely nothing wrong and had his career almost flushed down the toilet.
I mean sure if you want to pretend that basic human nature isn't a thing.

Hope wicks hasn't been hung out to dry from the club. Looks like a bit of senior player got off but wicks paid the price. Poor form based on what we know.

We need someone with wicks skillset to compliment the other fwds. Evident lack of fwd pressure was a big factor in losing the match.
 
I feel like I’m being a grumpy sod after yesterday.

But …….

Armatey 65% ToG, despite playing exclusively forward AND the sub being activated early.

The means he effectively only played 2.5 quarters.

Is it fitness? Tank?

Either way, it’s not good.

I just don’t see how the side is expected to carry this guy that can play one good quarter a game.
 
So he was stood down then. It's odd that the club and even the mods here tried to contain the situation by lying to us:

As per previous mod comments. Wicks wasn't stood down, he needed a break and they give it to him to help get himself sorted.
We only know what has been reported at the time along with any other reputable information we've been provided from reliable & verified sources.

We don't lie. That insinuation is insulting to me & the whole mod team who VOLUNTEER so you have a board to post on.

We allow conversation to happen to a point... When that point is pushed into territory where speculation & rumors are being paraded as fact then it is our job to protect BigFooty (& our posters) from any legal consequences - As well as to prevent absolute dribble being fed to our posters & any others that may read the threads.

We like high quality debate, conversation & discussion about facts & opinions. We don't like lies &/or unverifiable, uncredible & pointless rumors dominating our threads.

If you have a problem with our modding in the future then please PM us or an Admin with your concerns so we can adress it in a constructive (as opposed to authorative/combative) way.
 
The media is awful.

I saw a recent power rating that had the Giants in the contenders category and Sydney in the unconvincing category. Mind you, two of the Giants wins are against North and West Coast. The other team is Collingwood, who we also defeated.

Recency bias is a thing and it affects posters here, too. It was a frustrating loss but if that’s one of our worst games of the year then we are seriously contenders.

I still see us being 6-1 in a month.

This was from tonight’s Footy Classified

Caroline Wilson SMH :rolleyes: " Wicks was sent home from the football program "

Tell me Caro, What do we play at the Sydney Swans ???? ****ing Bocce ??? :rolleyes:

Sensationalist, untrustworthy past used by date journalist. Has only survived this long because of other untrustworthy people in football clubs who continually leak garbage to her.

This is not a shot at a female journalist either as I believe some of the best sports journos in World sport are females.
Caroline Wilson is washed up unfortunately.

Even after that poor performance, we’re currently $6.00 second favourites … although I think we should be around the $10 mark.

The laughable thing is Carlton are 7's. I know they are playing busted but if the Pies are not in the top 4 favourite sides it's laughable. They have lost to 2 top 4 sides and the Saints when up and about are dangerous, they still finish top 4.
