Everyone - [censored] goal kickers

I tend to be pretty positive and supportive about our players and coaches but this goal kicking has broken me. Goalkicking coach has to go.

I can’t do it with the goal kicking anymore.

Guys I’m starting to think we aren’t gonna boost our percentage much today.

Dominating and still can’t kick a [censored] goal.

Idk what you’re talking about I’m having the time of my [censored] life.

Appalling 1st quarter. But I think we battle back and win this. Despite last week our quarters have been uneven all year.

about 5 free kicks for holding not called there

Well this makes a lot of sense now

Would be great to have Viney back in the side at some point but I’m now far more concerned with his long term health and well-being.

The quick, creative handball chains we’ve been executing so well recently are right up there with the speccy for my favourite thing to watch in footy. There have been a few that have been like poetry in motion.

Could be wrong but I feel like there might be a bit of a disconnect for some here in terms of what the coaching staff seem to want our forwards to do versus what forwards have historically done in footy. Have found the game plan thread and Binman’s recent comments there really helpful in trying to understand this. Petty and AJ certainly aren’t Hogan or Cameron but the way they play largely negates intercept marks in the forward 50—which both prevents those really frustrating fast transition goals through the corridor that killed us earlier this year and allows for ground balls that either let Kozzy do Kozzy things or starts those inside 50 handball chains to try to get to the open man. Given that we do not have a dominant key forward at the moment, it honestly seems like a brilliant move by the coaching staff.

I’m not as well versed in footy coaching/strategy as others but I feel like it’s been noted that the “tagging” isn’t really tagging and is instead a way to put Clarry with players/into spaces where he gets a lot of the ball and can shine, thus building back his form. Yesterday’s 31 disposals when he’s supposedly “tagging” seems like pretty strong evidence of this being the case.

If you’d like I’ll genuinely give you my Kayo login information so you can go back and watch how much of a positive impact he had in that second half.

I’m…happy? And not anxious or furious? What is this feeling…?

We’ve given up 6 goals in the entire game…

difficult to not think about the % we are missing out on…

HOLY HELL KICK IT THROUGH THE GOD DAMN STICKS

Dominating this game and missing our kicks. Should be up by 4 goals. So frustrating.

Dean Martin a lovely touch

Disco 4 goal game incoming

I’ve found that for me the anxiety inducing way we play means every game is the Tim Tam binge game

Melbourne-based Swans supporters make us look like an incredibly blue collar team by comparison. They’re next level posh.

Boy, the sport gets a lot easier when you can just sprint 30 meters into the goal…
