    Changes for Round 4 - West Coast

    So many, so little time!

    1. Smith. Has become the new Benny McGlynn, passion there but has lost five meters of pace; this has be coming for a year and half now

    2. Foote. Wasn't tackling meant to be his strong suit?? Seriously bad, what do the coach see in him?

    3. Marsh. Has had plenty of games, but from a set shot kicks it out on the full

    4. Sinclair. Who lost the Jetta/Sinclair trade, both teams. If you are the ruck man and you can't mark, you can't play

    5. Parker. Is he carrying a injury??? He looks totally out of place, missing tackles, bad kicking: give him rest

    6. Naismith. We kept him and Sinclair and Tippert and let Nankervis go??? Not doing enough around the ground

    Other general thoughts, that was one of the worst skill games i have watched; players not being able to kick to players on the lead, hand balling to players who are marked, and worst of all, our entire defense couldn't read the play and were five meters behind their man. Truly woefully!
    Time for some seriously changes.

    You can't drop players if there are not the troops available to come in - who do you want to replace these guys with?

    We need to persevere and hope the Swans spirit can lift us from the doldrums.

    That isn't to say we shouldn't make changes. But for me it would be limited to Foote and Sinclair. I just don't think Foote is good enough, and you've summed up Sinclair well. If Teflon Tippo is not fit and Cameron does ok tomorrow, then Cameron for Sinclair is a must. Maybe Edwards for Foote - unless any of the injured guys are ready to return, then whoever that is.

    .
    I wouldn't call 10 games plenty. 16 disposals today at an efficiency of 75%. equal 4th best for us today. I think he will be a good player.

    Give them a break - it was a one point loss with so many players with so little experience, big jump from the NEAFL and don't forget being in finals every year means no high draft picks. This team of newbies has lost by 38, 23 and 1 point, personally I believe that to be quite an achievment. At least we are competitive.

    Horrendous post. Absolutely terrible.

    Fortunately you have numbered your ideas which makes it somewhat easier to respond:

    1.Smith..Smith...SMITH - I don't have a response to this, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Smith is the most underrated player in the comp.
    2. Foote was unimpressive, but there isn't much in the shop.
    3.Marsh was in the best.
    4. Sinclair did what was required.. I'd like to see Cameron, but Sinclair did what was expected.
    5.Parker???, seriously...?
    6. Naismith??? Not on board with any of your opinions (aside from Foote)

    The unfortunate thing of posting on a website such as this is your opinions are held in perpetuity. As Areatha said - Think...

    And if you're such a gangster, why don't you start a thread about Kieran Jack?

    I too worry about Smith. But i cant see any changes for WC game.

    We are odds on to go 0-5, and from there top 4 is out of the question. Gets some games in the youth.
