    Imaging what the swans could of achieved tonight if they actually showed up from the first bounce with the intensity they showed in the last 12min.

    Plenty of passengers and the once great defence of the afl is now about as reliable as carltons back 6.

      Embarrassing home performance against a badly undermanned Adelaide. Why would the crowd bother turning up to watch those sort of performances at the S.C.G.

        Really disappointing.

          I don't think longmire is to blame when your midfield doesn't show up. What happened tonight?

            Poor execution by foot and a lame display by the 'gun' midfield. There were some players trying their guts out but they were let down.

              To be honest poor kicking by the crows in the first half kept us in it. It was dry and everyone went missing.
              2nd half broke even in slippery conditions. Evened up the skill difference.

                2nd contest again play body and ignore the ball and 4 defenders within 2m of the ball. Jenkins just picks up the ball struggles and an easy handpass 2m from goal.

                Go now Longmire go now. You are a dinosaur of a older era.

                How can you possibly blame Longmire for that goal. He was in the coaches box. Not on the ground going the man and not the ball.

                  Exactly! Our list is actually a lot thinner than most think. There is nobody in the past 2 NEAFL games that I could see having an impact in the seniors. We are in more trouble than we all thought in my opinion.

                    Only positive for me was Heeney continuing to stand up and Marsh was pretty good I thought.

                      He has plenty to do with it.

                        Lloyd was excellent, McVeigh very good, Towers good.

                          Our midfield is a disgrace.

                            The way the team is going is worry enough but for me, it's what's coming out of the coaches box at the moment that is most concerning. New ideas? It's really hard to see any.....a dynamic game plan backed up by
                            adaptive gameplans and a group of players that instinctively adapt and put those plans into place as the game evolves around them. Hawthorn 2013-15 anyone? We have a very talented list and have had for a long
                            time.....if Clarkson was our coach since 2013, we'd be going for a seven-peat this year.

                              At least 3 posters, Buddie missing easy set shots and field goals, Heeney missing 3 set shots, midfield getting spanked, our most lauded players not turning up.Everything is just Hunky Dory!

                                Good games from Cunningham, Marsh and McVeigh. Some positives tonight
