Totally out-coached tonight. Showed absolutely no imagination in quarters 1-3 when it was obvious we were getting pummeled. Why weren't the instructions to kick long given in the second quarter???
Also, the idea to give the players a week's holiday must be seriously questioned. Most of the team obviously thought they were still on holidays tonight.
Surely goal kicking practice would have been more productive than a week or surfing and kicking back on the piss?

I agree with you Hammo.
Outcoached now for the 5th time in a row.
The Swans have as much chance of beating the magpies as the liberals have in winning in NSW.
Four years to prepare for an election and they still stuff it up.
Much the same the SWans. Pathetic, insipid, lame and weak.
Who gives these blokes a week off. To refresh to play like crap.

I only mentioned to GS14 that I hate this game ... it might pull the toothless wonders out of the woodwork and boost our revenue, but psychologically, the swans suffer after the week off. I think I'd rather play this game in the first week and have the second week off.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
Out coached for most of the game, why is it stick with the same tactics bar a few positional changes when it isn't working.
Very frustrating

Definitely outcoached. On that note I suppose I better off my congratulations to Malthouse reaching the 200 games at the Pies, etc
At least Roos realise we've got a problem when it comes to the Pies, even if he hasn't fixed it yet...

Because whenever we kicked long, we were beaten in the contested marks. It wasn't as simple as you made it out to be. The Pies big men were too dominant in the air. Nothing was working. It wasn't Roosy's fault, it wasn't that he was out-coached, it was that most of our players were off with the pixies for three quarters, and couldn't make a good decision to save their life.
Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!
Having forwards who can kick straight would help!"Our forward line tonight really struggled and that probably was the difference in the game," he said.
We all admire ROK's workrate, and he was far from the worst tonight, but when was the last time he kicked a vital set shot?

Roos sat on the bench. Perhaps next Collingwood game he could hop over the fence and joins the fans. He would have the same impact on the game.

Sydney appear to play better when Roos is in the box to be honest.
Our 6 game winning streak started when he went back up there. Against Melbourne we were not great, which I believe was his first game back at ground level..
Time to end this stupid experiment.
Roosey will be fast asleep now, he has to coach his kids team in the morning. He said he should have watched a good movie tonite.
Yes, so should we!
