GrantSmith Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Calm down rip and have faith.. We've traditionally been the worst starters in the AFL.. Buddy will come good, he showed signs today.. As has been said, once Tippett is back the dynamic will change and will change further when Goodesy comes Goodes (ok I'll get my coat).. There was lots to be pleased about today, Reid had a good look. Jetta was starting to find his feet... Ruck's always been a soft spot for us, I think they over estimated Pykey being able to stand up as #1 ruck but there's a lot to like about Derickx. Mummy was a big loss, no doubt about it, but I don't think the Swans brains trust were counting on Tippett being out for so long.. We're 0-2 and so are Adelaide and probably 2 others... If we're 0-5 at the end of round 5, we can kiss the top 4 goodbye. Adelaide, North and Freo should see us 2-3 possibly 3-2 not catastrophic but difficult... Tanking for the CoLA re-instatement?

I didn't see the game but that's good news about butterfingers and jetta.how well did Collingwood play though? They were crap round one. I reckon Pyke will gave a great second half of the season...

GrantSmith Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 If the Swans played this way last week, they'd have taken the Giants by a long way... Yup, butters was strong on the mark but needs to look at his accuracy... Just little annoying little things that the boys need to work on.. Derickx is a good prospect, he's quite physical like Mummy but not the bulk or presence that Mummy has.. Gary Rohan looked promising also but needs to find his confidence. He finds that, he'll be awesome. McVeigh needs to push forward and not hang on the half back... Malco and Shawy can handle that area with precision and run... McVeigh slows them down IMHO. If Parker can HTFU he'll also be a gun. Hanners needs to stop sniffing Buddy's arse (despite crashing his car) as that's slowing him down. I missed the last quarter as I was in a meeting, but there appeared to be something in the last 10 mins that had the boys baulking... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Will27 Posted March 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2014 My take on it was that Longmuir got badly outcoached by Buckley in this game. Especially after Brown was subbed off with an injury. For some reason, Horse was happy to leave Nick Maxwell as a loose man in defence while he had Reid doing the same at the other end. . Maxwell's been doing it for 200 games and Reid doesn't have the smarts for it just yet. At one stage, Maxwell had taken 5 intercept marks by himself and at one stage it was 9 intercept marks in defence to nil. The Sydney boys kept pumping it in, usually straight to Maxwell. Richo and Linggy were going spare. To quote Linggy "Sydney have to man up on Maxwell and make him accountable. They have really missed the boat here". Syd badly miss Tippett as they need a target who can take a mark. Buddy is not a pack marker. Buddy did a few special things that brought Syd back into it. That's his game. He's "the cream on the cake" footballer who can win games off his own boot. Regardless of how much he cost, he's never going to get a million possessions but he has the X factor. IMO, Syd paid over the odds for him but that's what free agency and having 2 new sides has done. Driven up prices. Eddies Betts got $500 000! If Mummy is worth $600 000, Nic Nat would be worth 1.6 million. All in all, I thought the game was mistake ridden and not of a high standard. We all know that injuries, form fluctuations and suspensions can dramatically change things though. The best 2 teams I've seen so far this year have been Freo (by a long way) and Port. All I know, is that if WCE keep winning and Carlton keep losing, I'll be a happy little vegemite 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chooka Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Good to see Melbourne have improved under Paul Roos, no 100 points drubbing just a respectable 93 point defeat for the demons. That's a positive and the future looks bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Eagles slaughtered Melbourne by 93 points. Had a feeling they were going to be a force this year with a new coach, some good pickups and hopefully a better year with injuries. Thought of putting $1000 on them at 15/1 last week, no chance of getting that price now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xangsamhua Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Was at the Gabba today. Lions not bad in a 25-point defeat. Plenty of endeavour, but lots of silly mistakes and turnovers. Geelong are just a classier side. Lions won't play finals in 2014, but if they keep going as they are they'll be nobody's easybeats. Perhaps 10 wins again. They've got a couple of young stars in Sam Mayes (second year) and James Aish (draftee from Norwood). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstanley Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Below are the results for Round 2 . There were 3 tied on 8 They were Chooka, Gazman and Kooweerup. Very good tipping. The actual winner for the week is Chooka who was closet to the margin of the first game. Well done Thanks for the tip Bookman.

GrantSmith Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Was watching Damian Barrett and Garry Lyon on the AFL website last night (now I've never liked him personally always thought the other bald fella whatever his name was - Hutchy that's him - always a more likeable fellow. Barrett always seems swarmy, like the type typical P.I gumshoe type tabloid reporter.) giving Horse a pasting about how the Swans played and how there's a culture fracture in the team with Buddy's arrival. After 2 games, he's written them off. I'm fairly sure he does this every year that the Swans start bad. On the Dees, Garry Lyon noted that Roosy's salary being 7 figure, half was for his coaching prowess and the other half is for "taking the heat" off the players. He also mentioned it was that "taking the heat" part that burned up Bailey and Neale. He thinks that Roosy has what it takes - being a premiership coach - to be able to absorb that "heat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooka Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Is Buddy really bringing down the Swans? Never has one man, in such a short time, been so responsible for the demise of one club. That’s what we are led to believe if you listen to some of the disgruntled coat-tuggers on why the Sydney Swans have begun the season with a pair of disappointing losses. Single-handedly Lance Franklin has turned a top-four team into a side incapable of playing September football; a side out the window with bookmakers when framing premiership markets. http://www.theroar.com.au/2014/04/01/is-buddy-really-bringing-down-the-swans/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
