    It's amazing isn't it?

    Confidence is an amazing thing.....and young sides can lose it quickly. This is another development season now.....

    This Could be a thrashing like the one St Kilda inflicted on Hawthorn earlier today.
    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

    At least the Swans should be fresh for the second quarter. Half of them didn't touch the ball.

    I hope the Swans keep going for the risky kicks/switches - might end up being good in the long run.

    Not so much for this game but for developing a gamestyle.

    I'm so over that trend in footy. That and the rugby league dummy hand passes - where an arm is held and its impossible to handball, but they hand it off and its play on.

    Gosh that was just awful after the first ten minutes. Need a rocket at quarter time or going to get seriously ugly.

    I hope Horse can work some magic at Q time. 11 scoring shots to 3. Double the disposals etc etc.

    Getting thrashed

    How woeful is this? Yes we are definitely the great pretenders. I don't think they should bother tackling because Geelong can always get a handball away anyhow. Totally disorganised down back, very poor coaching.

    Maybe put Mills back in the mids for starters
