Thread: Changes for Rnd 2 V Port.

    If the Swans get bashed up in the first quarter again (last week and GF) , will Horse give them another Barassi , because in this era it doesnt work , well not immediately anyway with The Swans or any other group of humans.
    Maybe reminding them of how good they can be , reinforcing their self belief systems , calming their nerves, helping them release negative energy works better than berating them, making them feel awful about themselves.
    Maybe it's just the guided walkabout tour by a very calm and thoughtful indigenous Australian in the Blue Mountains I did today that has me thinking about positive vibes versus negative . He was really excellent .

    Maybe he's actually saying that to them but doing so by yelling it in order to get the message home. I'm sure he'd be aware that berating only works once in a blue moon and is a method to shock the players into action. The days of dishing out negativity and criticism every quarter like Barassi did are gone forever.

    Without looking too closely at stats and disregarding the grand final last year, we generally start away games pretty well. If we can kick the first 2 or 3 and silence the crowd it will go a long way to winning the game...Port are borderline impossible to stop once they have momentum.

    Oh, well Horse could obviously point out that they haven't played their best and threaten to send them to the naughty corner with no oranges.

    A bake was deserved after that 1st qtr.

    Compared to what I wanted to do to them I thought Horse was restrained and measured at Qtr time last Saturday.
    ..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

    Don't hate me, but I've tipped Port as well. I just can't see us beating Port over there after last week, so I'm not surprised at all that no one is tipping us. PS. The one tip for us is the 'kiss of death', who always tips the underdog, so we actually have no serious tips.

    Last night Barry Hall was having a bit each way ~ he tipped Port on Teams and us on 360! Newman tipped us on the footy show.

    a week is a long time in footy

    when we can bring the game into our tempo we can control a game then put on 4 or 5 goals in the last qtr or so

    we can do that in this game coming up too !
