GAME DAY - TIGES V SWANS

Unaccountable footy.
Rioli needs a stint in the 2's
Ask yourself why on earth he was named sub instead of Jack Ross (or even the eternal bridesmaid, RCD?)

Why a struggling low-possession HFF who was to be dropped instead of a mid? Who are you most likely to need? Dumb as.

Just haven’t turned up. Happens. We’ve copped biggish losses in each of our premiership years, particularly early doors.

Doesn’t even matter if we lose to Port and end up 2-2.

Perspective, folks. As a club we have zero interest in April.

Swans will make finals and are on the way to becoming a very good side. Dont think they will make much of it this year as the younger bodies will run out of puff by finals time.

Loss today. Loss next week. Dimmas relationship will suddenly come to the fore. Going to be interesting to see just how great a club we really are. Gonna have to start making some tough calls and get some hunger back in the side. Rioli, Caddy and Aarts need to go now. Pickett and even Graham have to be close to emergency and twos. Captain getting closer to father time. Really missing Soldo.
Middle of the road with club in turmoil? Sound familiar? It's when we perform best
 
Slow, no intensity and as I thought after the Melbourne practice game, this new open brand under the new rules is having a huge effect on our system.
 
Bolton 2 disposals minus 14 metres gained. Is that even possible? With Prestia out he had to step up but has inexplicably gone completely missing.
He's been played out of the goalsquare, so isn't able to replace Prestia in the middle

Some say it's using excuses, but gifted frees to the oppo really hurts to gain momentum and that's what has happened here. As we're not 100% early in the season, we would've been better playing Norf instead of a young team who's done their homework and built up really well during pre-season.
While the free kick count doesn’t show any biase it’s where they have been granted which is the problem from us.

I'm not watching seems the guys are flat after last weeks game in the heat.

Fantastic result getting another game in 32 degree heat.

Has us ripe to turn up to Adelaide flattened even more.
That's BS, Craig. They're coming off a nine-day break. conditions the same for each team. Don't fall for fake excuses.

Thats what im hoping. Just depends how much hunger is really left in these blokes if things get too out of hand. As i said will show how great a club we are. Time will tell

Yeah we've seen it before. At least it gets the spotlight off us for a while.

Yeah not concerned. Remember we got pansted by saints and hawks early last year.

The umpiring isn't our problem at the moment.

Love the hysterical reactions on here.
Early days. Lot more games to go in the season.
No need to get you knickers in a knot.

Nope. Yeah they have had some shitty free kicks but this game is about effort and we are not giving it. Free kicks are not the reason we are 40 points down at half time

Today the problem is midfield, midfield, midfield. They just aren’t mucking in.
