The opposition marks the balls in the pocket then our defenders switch off allowing them to turn and quickly hit up a teammate in a better position. This has been creeping back into our game. The Dogs love to do this (Richmond thrived on it) so we need to remain focused.

These should be the changes, close thread.

Bombers making a late run for 14th.

Live ladder anyone?

We’ve been caught napping all day in defensive 50 for the inboard kick.

Tomlinson has been great today.

My theory (purely guess work & way off the mark) is that had Oliver and Petty not missed JVR would play this week, in an attempt to get us back to our normal structure. But to play him with an already weakened side puts us under a lot of additional pressure if he doesn’t find his feet straight away.

Did stuff all tonight. Swans have McDonald and Amartey, they’re the future. As good as he’s been it’s coming to an end, time to play him up the ground.

This might sound foolish after last week but I think we can take the Cats, Blues still a year away.

Best thing Swans can do at years end is not offer Franklin a contract. Just play McDonald & Amartey.

Top 2 is a must.

I meant in terms of ability / pressure applied. We had TMac out but that’s not what I was talking about.

Geelong played to their maximum capacity last weekend and for all their so called dominance only won by 28. With 10 minutes to go if Kosi doesn’t miss scores are level. Our pressure was way off what we’re capable off, we have several players fumbling a lot very early in the game and we had two of our weapons in Gawn and Jackson struggling to find touch and missing with injury. For all of our so called problems we’re sitting second by 2.7%. Nothing is guaranteed but I’m confident a top 2 finish awaits then our dream of back to back is there for the taking.

I thought he showed a bit early against the Cats. We’re short on options so being our best option he’s going to have to find it on the run, along with a few others and the team as a whole.

Only 6 weeks to go in the H & A season, we know what we get with Weid and M Brown, I’d be giving JVR a three week stint to see how he goes. He could be just what we need. We still have the no.1 ranked defence in the comp, the best ruck combo, top 3 midfield (if not the best, but not on current rankings), but our fwd line is the concern. From watching the Casey highlights he can take a grab and is a reasonable kick, it’s not like he’s being played rd.1.

Read this on FB over the weekend and would still rather Brown than Weid.

Ladder predictors are fun but more than ever pointless right now. Upsets every week, just simply must keep winning.

I didn’t realise they had players out because of Covid but they were finished before that. Too many players that beat up on weaker opponents but go missing when it counts.

Top 2 still a chance, and will most likely go right down to the wire. Our percentage still very healthy.

Peter Wright for a 4th round pick.

Gawn 0 marks doesn’t help. This is Geelong’s best, we can take them come September.

And Kosi’s miss

Could also use that description to describe the Lions.

Makes next week even more important.

Geelong gets North and the Eagles twice this season.
