Petracca a liability today

Just now, leave it to deever said:

We actually won the clearances in the 2nd but got smashed with our ball use.

Sparrow's the one for me in the middle that needs to get going.

Jv looks a little off, agreed.

Yes forgot about Sparrow.  His reaction time looks pedestrian against the best clubs at times under heat.

Needs to speed things up and drive those legs out of congestion more.

Not sure Petty forward is working. Our key talls look a bit lost and we usually play the 3 key backs.

Petty needs a block of games to see if he can settle in.  Switching him back now is pointless as you're admitting defeat before you've given it a decent go.

Ok so if we're up by 15 plus with 3 minutes to go that's diff.  Then you might throw him (among others) behind the ball

I think throwing him back for match ups is ok.

They have 3 tall forwards, although only started with two on field. If we put him back to cover the third, I've no problem with that change, wouldn't think it was admitting defeat.

Sydney certainly had more control in that quarter. A small crumbing forward would be handy. 

good first half. Swans are top 4 team and have the wood on us. 

keep up the intensity and tidy up kicking and we will win this

Its nothing to do with that its the clearance battle and the cleaner ball theyre getting into forward 50 vs our spasmodic clearances and dirtty ball going in thereafter.

The day we can spread from a clearance then drive it forward finding a leading forward almost directly in front on occasions will be a refreshing change.

Chandler, Spargo & Tracc really need to get on their bikes big time in this second half.

JV's in pretty bad form so far.  Looks sluggish, trying to do too much and getting caught....alot.

P.S. Kozzy out is such a killer. 

 He should go back to late season 21 where his first option was pass it off he has gone back to captain tackled he doesn't have good footy IQ.

Death, taxes and the person that wants to tell everyone if you read the gameday thread you wouldn't know we're in front.

Agreed! Has looked really composed with the ball. 

Clarry you champion.

Mr Clazz!

I don’t think Oliver has had the greatest starts to the year but I feel much more confident in his set shot goal kicking. 

Swans looking much better when they stop playing dirty football and just get on with the game. Losing it when they start their dirty, feux tuff guy rubbish.

Come on guys

And people complaining about Clarry not being damaging enough despite having heaps of it, leading our metres gained and contested possessions and scored involvements including kicking a couple of goals.

Jack Viney give the ball away to often. Dinky kicks, handballs without looking.
