TOPIC:

I wasn't at the game but going by the stats it looks like Bolton may have recieved another five votes, he's gonna be very hard to stop for the Sandover now and must be a strong chance of getting drafted again, good for him but from a selfish view I hope he's still playing wafl next year. Looks like Jake Waterman had a very quiet game after a sensational debut - I hope the Eagles hadn't whispered in his ear and told him to lower his efforts. Unlikely I suppose but you never know.

When one looks at our Senior list from the start of the season until now how many players on our list have actually improved their footy so far?
I am still seeing the same basic errors in ball skill, maintaining possession, poor decision making, non existent ability to lay a tackle that sticks, zero forward pressure etc etc I was seeing in March.
That is an indictment if you ask me!

Maybe Malaxos has the answers BH??? Every thing you have stated here is his area of expertise, right???

Methinks he has scored more than enough runs,if one may use a Cricket analogy,for many clubs to sit up and take notice,Tiger.

That being the case,doesn't that force West Coast to use their Father//Son pick earlier than hoped?

I just wonder at what stage of the 11 inside 50s Bolton had yesterday did the SD brain trust try and negate his influence on the game???

Perhaps BH and you should apply for the coaching position next year.

Only if you join us 42....like the 3 musketeers...one in all in...I'm already looking forward to your 3qtr time speeches

No one would be able to understand them without a thesaurus DW.

Very rarely have I looked forward to the end of the season as much as this one. It has been a real trial watching Swans this year. Ultra defensive, minimising the damage with an average of around 8 goals scored per game. You can say all you like about developing young players and looking to the future but supporters also need hope and all I saw yesterday was our three grades soundly beaten by a team who will definitely rebound next year.

We are so far behind the rest of the competition it is not funny and at the moment I cannot see where we would be able to catch up in 2017 to the extent that we would be in the finals mix. If 2017 is Harding's last year I am hoping that he is not replaced by Malaxos who has hardly covered himself in glory as the midfield coach this year with our skills at an all time low.
3 weeks to go........

And another part of the problem is a team has bloody big holes to fill when good players drift away or go elsewhere, and then long term injuries to players happen. Good experienced players can help the younger guys. Clubs should do everything possible to retain players instead of watching them walk away. The young guys try hard etcetera etcetera but they need guidance from the long term players. But if that's not there, the team just bumbles along. Swans not won a Home game as yet this season. Perhaps they can remedy that in the last Home game of week 22?
Their efficiency rating is the worst in the league too which doesn't help.

Hmmm with DW not in attendance for many weeks and 42's tendency of late to leave the ground a tad early it might be left up to me to 'carry the can' at the end of the day!
