    I really hope he doesn't lose too much confidence because he is a beautiful kick of the footy for the most part...look at his 60m pass to Rohan at the start of the Hawks game the other week, absolutely perfect. There aren't many players in the comp that could have pulled off that kick as well as he did.
    He made the AFL team of the week. He had 26 possessions and 14 marks to go with a couple of clangers....He had a really good game.

    In over thirty years of watching AFL, I haven't seen a player yet that doesn't commit the odd clanger.

    Certainly Mal, with his much lauded lazor kicks, turned it over now and again in most games, with poor decisions/kicks. Everyone does.

    Shaw on the other hand is probably doing it a bit too often these days.
    Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

    do we need to get a petition, the last loss was the last chance surely. Not robinson crusoe, but if we don't change now we are not going to topple the hawks or freo. Need to find someone, try someone and back them in. Shaw misses based on age and form. Rampe needs to lift and not be isolated at full back...
    Staying ahead of the game...

    Blood them now. Do a Ryan O'keefe with him viz; back to the reserves to mentor the young players.

    Loyalty brings security for the individual and the team but it cuts both ways. Even if your best mate keeps giving away goals on a weekly basis at some point you need to correct the problem otherwise you might get some results but maybe its too late before you realise!!!.

    I think we will too - though we are not leaving ourselves much wriggle room if we got rolled on Thursday night in terms of Top 2, which is still a huge advantage (although as we showed in both Premiership years, this is not a pre-requisite for winning the flag).
    "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
