Well we got the pace that many of us wanted, so we will see.

Woosha is smiling because everyone knows he is not coaching them, Rutten is.

Kossie needs experience, to learn how to play in the AFL.

NON MFC: Round 16
When you want other teams to win for us they generally lose. Yes I know plenty on here will post we should worry about ourselves and win our own games.

NON MFC: Round 16
Gawn, May, Petracca, Oliver, Langdon, Brayshaw, Lever and Salem are probably our best and the 3 newbies all look good.

Can't argue on the second bit but maybe a small argument on the first point.

NON MFC: Round 16
Of course not that it matters, but Port last played a week ago at home, not in Alice Springs, 5 days ago, flying home at 3.00 am and they are at a one day advantage of recovery on their opponent who played 6 days ago. Oh and BTW they are better than us, quicker than us and also better coached, not that that should matter either.

Inability to kick in the wind
I think it was Lever who short passed a ball to someone and kicked it high allowing a player to run from a distance behind him and jump up to out mark him. It was a simple basic pass. It was not only poor skill but just dumb. Worst part of it is that is a typical part of our game, we are incapable of passing the ball to retain possession. We don't seem to try and remedy it in any way. It goes on year after year. Don't get me started on the handballs to the ankle or to a player with a man right next to him.

Swans in Cairns for 2 days vs Demons less than 5 hours - why?
I don't like making excuses, but from a personal experience in Cairns, I was there last summer and dropped off a rental car and then walked back to meet my wife.I walked about a kilometre along the main street, so there was intermittent shade and when I got back I felt absolutely sick. I felt like I had run a marathon. I was just drinking cold water and resting. Yes I am not as fit as the footballers and much older, but I do regularly walk for an hour or longer and I have never had this reaction. The humidity in Cairns is a killer. After that day of travel with an early start probably 5.00 am, playing on a windy ground they have probably never seen before, against a side that has had 2 days to acclimatize and able to get up at a normal time in routine, train on the ground and get used to the conditions, all off a short turnaround from the previous game and having got to bed at 5.00 am a few days earlier from the Alice Springs game, well that is simply unfair. We seem to have played at more grounds, with more short breaks and travel than most other teams and that has to affect the players.

NON MFC: Round 15
When Maynard barreled him from behind and sent him flying to the ground, with umpire 6 a couple of metres away, I thought only a Pies player could avoid that free. I also thought back to the game a couple of rounds ago, when we had the mark on the siren, 10 metres out and AVB just gently pushed a player lying on the ground in the back and the mark was reversed. Only could happen to us. Robinson had every right to go off at that umpire. He is the Perth umpire who supports WCE. In an ordinary season he would be dropped for that decision. It was as blatant as it could be. This year he will probably get the GF and especially if the Eagles are in it.

CHANGES: Rd 16 vs Fremantle
Actually on reflection you could be right. If it’s his quad then someone may have got it wrong letting him play.

Did quad a week ago, but bandage was on his hammy late in game, so seems like a different injury.

I am known for being understated.

Tbh I hope it is Port v Lions as I am sick of Tigers, Cats, Pies and WC . I could live with GWS if as looking likely we are not a finalist.

POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs Sydney
Dazz you posted earlier about Jordon. I have been a fan since we got him and have seen him improve since then. I look forward to him getting a chance. You know a bit more about him, how do you see him. We clearly need to get speed and good ball use into this side. It is our major problem. Poor quality tackling is another issue that needs addressing.
