leave it to deever

To be fair I'm giving them their props tonight Layzie. We deserve to be fried for that lack of effort. I was hoping for so much better than the tripe we served up tonight. It would be fair to drop about ten players from that list tonight. To start with Laurie. Spargo. Chandler. Schache. So many players have lost form.... Lever, Rivers, Langdon, Nibbler. I hope Bowey is ok. Can't afford to lose him. Ironically Grundy smashed Max. I know he's captain.He's better off leading my example than talking. The biggest concern for me is our backs have been against the wall with the media on us and losing Gus. That was our response. I think there is significant reason to be concerned. Kozzie needs an anger management course. Doesn't matter how good he is if he can't play. Goody was so slow to sub Laurie off who he shouldn't have selected in the first place. We have time now to reset but I don't see how we can fix our forward line. That should have been done three years ago but we must keep learning first. Another champion game from Jack. Nice purple patch from Fritta. Oliver not ready.

Just another Sparrow game. Never really delivers. Sometimes threatens to look like a player but then you remember.

I'm starting to have doubts about Goody. I'll always be impressed with him getting us a flag. But coaches too lose their appetite and edge. He can be very stubborn at times and make some weird selections. Some of his finals selections last year were bizarre at times. Why did we recruit Grundy .... because we were down a big fwd. Grundy goes and we ignore that fact we don't have a big fwd. Tmac and Bbb played horribly in both our last two years finals but they are still around. So glaring is our fwd line lack of firepower we've not only kept Schache but now he's not the sub anymore. Unless Jvr becomes a star on his second year we better all pray Petty has a big year. Where are our goals going to come from. Why does Chin always get games. Laurie too.? That's on Goody

Oh dear. Are the media right? What has happened to Langdon and Rivers. Lever rusty and loose. Laurie and Schache not up to it. Sparrow just doesn't improve. Spargo shouldn't have been out there. Billings not much from him in just over a quarter. Max talked a big game but didn't deliver at all. Oliver not ready yet. Same learnings ......no fwd line other than a Fritta purple patch. Kozzie let his mates down again being reported. I feel from tonight we will be lucky to make the eight and all our hopes are on Petty not getting injured.

Well we have a week to see if the media is right. On tonight's effort, I'm thinking they may be. Probably only six or seven can hold their heads up today. Nothing in the slightest has changed up fwd. How are we going to score this year? Jvr looks like a first gamer. A purple patch from Fritta. It doesn't look positive. We can only hope Petty plays a full season.

Well maybe there's some truth in the narrative. We look awful for most of the night. Olivers not the same yet. Chandler .....when? Spargo...Gone backwards. Schache...I've said enough. Laurie....nup. Sydney have shown what we lack.....players who can mark inside fifty. Sparrow...never seems to go next level. Windsor...first game. Lever...looked rusty. Max....a bad night. Jvr......quiet.

Chandler and Spargo are no goal sneaks. I hope Kozzie doesn't get reported again. He's let his mates down. I know we don't have any options other than Schache but gee whiz it's been three years since Jackson left we replaced him with Grundy and then gave up.

Nup Max is just off.

That might be it. The learnings are the same. No big fwd who can kick goals. I hope Bbb can get back to something.

Yep. Grundy has shown him up with four marks to one.

He's not up to it.

Please get first goal.

Tommo has been good. Answered his many critics .

Fritta at ff. Jvr at chf. Tracca fwd .

I'll take two points down. When will Sparrow string two good ones together?

How in the world was that not htb? Been on it all night.

Umps getting Swans some help. That wasn't fifty.

Great to see Tracca keep his eyes on the goals then. The ball goes where you look.

Second for Viney. I didn't think swans fans were such nuffies.

Fifty for dissent.

I don't think Schache is going to ever be a player for us.

Oh no Bowey.

Good to seem him down the ground. He's a natural chf .

The umpires are really sweating on us when we are tackled. Fair go.

Lady luck is a fickle one
