Rebuild? What do you think is happening? Six debutants in two games is not a rebuild? Geelong doesn't rebuild. The Swans don't rebuild. They add to what strengths they have. They don't sell Petracca, Oliver, Gawn and bring in teenagers. Look at Hawthorn, North Melbourne - they are playing with enthusiasm. Our problem is mental, not physical.

It was impressive to watch the Suns move the ball. There always seemed to be a receiver running into position as the team mate with the ball needed to offload. It was a sort of cascading support plan that kept the ball moving in the right direction. Each player knew what support his ball carrier needed. It looked co-ordinated. Something to learn from.

Trac's body language wasn't off ( looking from the MCC member's stand). At times he was frustrated, disappointed at his inability to contribute in his normal manner.

This comment was unhelpful.

So the new coach will bring a group of champions with him/her? Nope, it'll be the same cattle with - as of now - three, maybe four players in form, six kids trying to find their feet and 15 blokes who can't kick straight.

Yes, sorry Dice. I was a bit indiscriminate in my comment. Apologies to XL and Hendo.

Still on an F1 note, it's hard to win with a squad full of rookies. Just like the Dees, all the F1 rookies had terrible gamedays on Sunday, too.

Can we get Oscar Piastri in on a mid-season transfer? At least he knows how to lead...

I thought we'd go Top Four this year. I'm thinking Bottom Four now. I reckon Anzac Eve will decide the wooden spoon.

Here's a thought. Maybe we could buy Oscar Piastri's contract from McLaren so he could play down forward. At least he knows how to LEAD!

Why doesn't JVR ever lead? Petracca goes down there in Q3, leads and gets a free. JVR waits at the back of the pack, waiting for the big bomb, which he never marks ( he's a two-grabber). Turner leads occasionally, but JVR.....

How many times in Q2 did we get run down from behind?

I hate to harp, but we have missed 5 set shots in the first half (Chandler, JVR, Langdon, Turner, Sharp). How are we supposed to win when we kick like that?

What's up with Fritter?

We played pretty well considering how many newbies we had, but that old Gawn bloke cost us the game with his 25 metre miss. Perhaps we should send him to kicking school.
