Sorry but watching his pressers are painful |
Well, the first is probably what he really believes.
The second is a lie no one believes. |

how come we can lock the ball in our forward line for 10 minutes at the end of a prelim final without letting anyone score when we need only one goal to win it, but we cant lock the ball in our forward line for one minutes when we need to preserve a one goal lead.
Where was the Grundy tap to the base of the pack with a pack to firm and another ball up? _________________ Ohhh, the Premiership's a cakewalk ....... |

Experience and maturity will fix this problem but this takes time. Most fans here do not have the patience required and TBH, I don’t blame them. I’m impatient as well but what is the answer? We need to play some kids (which we have done) but the other side of the coin of doing this is that we will lose some games. It’s a fine balancing act. |
True Comarade, but the young Swannies have shown, that kids are the way too go, was rapt they smashed those arrogant Tigers. I hope our young kids coming in now, can emulate them. |
The Swans kids come through their academy and the club has a superior development system whereby young players can commence their careers competitively. Collingwood’s debutants genarally are unready and need to learn within AFL games. It’s called a complete lack of player development. |

Last night we should have won.
If we played as well as we ‘ve done in the last 2 weeks against WB - the a 16 point margin looks easily surmountable. So we could be 3-0 and thats including against 2 Likely Top 4 teams. |
I think a lot of people's 'great effort, nearly got there' tolerance has well-and-truly worn out.
Painting it in a positive light is like trying to see the upside in only losing by five points in the 2018 GF.
The fact is that we're 1-2. That's a million miles from 3-0. |
If we're a 6-10 team, then against a flag favourite its was an excellent performance - you cannot argue anything esle. |

I call BS. We were up 44 - 19 at one point. We simply couldn't put the foot on the throat and kill the game. Then, notwithstanding the lapse that allowed the Lions in, we couldn't control the game for a mere 45 seconds to win the game. This was so far from "an excellent performance" that it's painful. _________________ There are 10 types of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't. |

[quote="RudeBoy"]To lose on the last kick of the night was devastating, but we played pretty well most of the game.
Our biggest problem is that we have a couple of players who simply do not do near enough, in WHE and Callum Brown, the latter being not skilled enough to play at this level.
Unfortunately, given Grundy had virtually no opponent in the ruck, the fact we still couldn't win was not good.
I thought Sier was terrific and Thomas' tackling was ferocious. Overall, we needed a bit more from De Goey. We could/should have won the game, so it's not all doom and gloom. Remember, the Lions are considered a top 4 team. We are a good side, but we need to improve to beat the top sides.[/quote
This.
After wading through 10 pages of attacks on Bucks, that are way overegged, this is my take as well.
Id see if we can get Travis Clokes glove for Cox though.... _________________ ___________________

Exactly my sentiments.
A professional team would have possessed the ball in the last 45 secs. There was too much at stake. _________________ Think MAGPIES...winning the Flag this year! |

Then players who don’t think a game out should be just that. ☄️Out
I recall the good years when we had the “forward press”. The ability to pressure the other sides defence to lock ball in our fifty
Well both WHE and C Brown are almost incapable of that —-JDG or Billy could to a degree but Billy out and JDG is split between mid and forward
I’m hoping Beau Mac with his known tackling in the 50 to increase this factor
Locked in our fifty for 45 seconds makes a final eight seconds goal unlikely _________________ I'm not arguing--just explaining why i am right |

Those were the years when we also supposedly had a fitness advantage over the oppo. |
