At least Papley is workin his arse off.

It is probably only part of it but lack of confidence had gotta be hurting us.

Conservative (sensible?) play by Carlton now.

I agree. The coaches need to be held accountable, not just the players! They selected a side with only 1 (mediocre) ruckman. Knowing damn well Tippett wasn't going to play leaving Reid to play a lot of the day in the ruck hence having a tiny forward line...then playing buddy as an extra midfielder...good idea fellas!

Could it possibly be that the loss of the concessions and all the salary cap nonsense has finally caught up with us? The AFL want Sydney fans to follow the Giants and think we are fickle enough to drop the swans when they lose...all that's going to happen is that fewer people will watch AFL...

I'll be going to every game at the SCG. It's a great place to watch footy, I'll sing Sweet Caroline and I'll catch up with the people who sit near by, and probably either study or join the lady who knits while she watches...

and we might win a few games...who knows...I love Buddy too...

How bad is it going to be now? How to fix?

**Merdo5555** · 29th April 2017, 05:34 PM

When will we ever put the effort/recruiting into improving our kicking?

I think you and Ludwig need to talk. Let us know what agreement you come to.

Still feels like the Swans players think they are a good team.

I think us supporters certainly did until today...We clearly over achieved last year which has given us false hope now.

Just hard work & skills training. We've gone a long way in past with hard work, but never been a highly skilled team.

When the work rate falls off, we're toast.
