I am disappointed about Kohlmann. I thought he was a really good leading forward last year and gave the mids something to target. Reliable mark and kick.

mikeh how many years has it been since we actually had a forward line? How many times in the past couple of years have we had the ball on the wing and been forced to kick sideways, backwards or the player hold the ball because we don't have any players forward of centre?

Totally agree. Unfortunately the style of play that Swans adopted later in Hardings tenure and for all of Pickerings years has been extremely defensive, low scoring and boring to watch. That is why I am disappointed in Kohlmanns departure because I saw some small signs of a more attacking strategy in the last few games of last season (v Perth and East Fremantle) and Kohlmann was part of that forward structure.

Looks like we have 2 practice matches coming up for this pre season-
Mar 13- vs SF at Basso
Mar 20- vs WCER at Basso

Thanks. I have a prior engagement for the 13th.

Kohlmann is a big loss.Had a strong lead and a nice left foot.
Gault is going to have to play forward or Tony Notte.
Warwick Wilson is good news.Beautiful user of the footy.
Do we have any pace in the midfield in 2021. Really need some run and carry in the midfield.Slater use to do that on the wing.
