It don't rain as much in September
The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
Cute handballs and precise kicks don't cut it in the wet - why do we persist with this game style in the wet ? I learnt this in my 1st yr of footy in u9's ! Surely our coaches can see this
I was just thinking back to 2012. Bulldogs at the SCG, Swans won 20 goals to 5 in one of their best ever wet weather performances (and before a pitiful crowd).
What worries me is not so much the wet, but the inconsistency in skills from week to week. They go from fast, slick and pinpoint (Port Adelaide) to...the opposite, you never know which one it's going to be. I can only assume the main factor is opposition pressure, rather than suddenly forgetting how to play.
The first game I took my then 6 year old daughter to was last years game at the SCG against The Kangaroos which we all know we lost in the rain.
My daughter stated at the end of the game the swans need to practice more in the rain. How wise she is !!!
What frustrates me is that rainy games in Sydney are not a rare occurrence, you would think the team would have learnt to deal with the weather conditions by now.
Chillin' with the strange Quarks
Playing catch up footy rarely works.
It never works in the rain.
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.
I see rain is forecast for Melbourne for Saturday. Oh hooray.
At least we'll get a chance to see what the boys have learnt from last Saturday.....
