    Longmire.

    Time to go John. The players need a new message. We should never have lost that game.

    Not time to go. But horse needs to reinvent himself to the team. He never appears to have a plan b or c if the main plan fails. Would love to see him take the rest of the yeah and try something different with the team. Why cant rohan be a defender, AA to the wing/fwd. Take the fact we wont play finals and start to look to 2018. Tty something please!!!

    I hate the idea of Rohan as a defender - mainly because he is too liable to make silly mistakes like dropping easy marks and the like, or taking the game on when its not there to take on, like the one that led to a goal tonight. It is costly when that happens down back, much more so then up forward.

    As he showed with the goal he kicked, his best place imo is clearly somewhere around half forward. Maybe half back flank at a push, but he isn't a defender imo.

    He was miles behind his man. Must have been thinking about beers after the game because he sure as heck wasn't watching where the footy was going. Maybe him going back was the only option with the 2 men off.

    Clarkson has won 6 from the last 7 at the SCG. Tonight we got beaten by a Box Hill team playing pedestrian footy. Longmire has run out of ideas.

    Totally out coached Beveridge both tactically(Hewett on Johanninsen) and psychologically with our desire compared to theirs.

    Obviously Bulldogs fans will be screaming for Bevos head after he was smacked by our 'washed up' and 'useless coach'
    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

    I've been heavily criticised elsewhere for suggesting we may not be too far off needing a fresh start in the coaching box - its the lack of plan B that does me in. When things are going badly, we just don't seem to have any alternatives. In the past, we've had enough individual brilliance across the park to often spark us when we are playing poorly. Of course we have Buddy to do that now, but he can't do it every time, and even his brilliance tonight couldn't drag us over the line.

    I still think our gameplan is fundamentally flawed for the way the game is headed though.

    I don't get the Swans lack of manning up out of defence.
    It's rerun after rerun, the boring Hawthorn ( or whatever team) circular waltz with th Swans wandering around aimlessly.
    It's actually extremely boring as a spectator to witness let alone spend time and money doing it.
    It's a bloody terrible look. Is that how they are really really coached ??
