The guy has been in the job for 5 minutes and you want to crucify him? Common Synners, even you are more balanced than that, surely!

WC bumped into a very good team in Swans.

Thats what happened...

the same Swans that will dismember us completely.

Adelaide changed a coach and it mattered.
Worsfold is a smart coach...

We dont have that... we have a guy called Ratten.

Most of our players are shells of themselves.

Even if theyre not injured.... they are not playing at their best....

And have not hit any highs with him.

Im not sure what youre saying harker...

CAN RATTS COACH OR NOT???

110 games should tell the story....

Are YOU convinced or is there a fence in that trench of yours , you like to sit on???

Not crucifying anyone.

A review is needed... including his job.

Who's fault is it that we have had all these injuries this year?

Didnt West Coast have a serious clean out at the end of 2010 (Ie Nisbet resigning etc) with only Worsfold holding on.

So who did the Swans have as power forward???

Some-one, can't remember who said pre North game, Duigan forward won't work this week because they will have planned for it and my thoughts were = exactly and we will not do that as we'll need him to help our KP back cover the North forwards! So what do our genius coaching group do?????

Synbad, you're a good thinker but one that gets so bogged down in what you want to see, that I'd be worried you shot me and not your enemy in the heat of the battle.
I'm not happy about the way this year has panned out for us either, but I don't want to release the safety and just start shooting randomly either.

I can tell you that this year started out in a very promising fashion for the CFC from what I gleaned through the pre-season but not in my wildest dreams did I think we'd drop off like flies the way we have.
When we ultimately reflect on 2012, we'll see that we never had a chance with the rolling medium to long term injuries we sustained.
Behind the scenes? I don't really know nor will I pretend to know as some others do. Fact of the matter is that if you aren't there, then well you just ain't. Simple.

Common Synbad - I know you lack some footy knowledge sometimes but fair dinkum!!!!
Ok - I'll play because I'm in the mood (pissed off after watching the footy today) Reid, Goodes & LRT ring a bell? 2 out of the 3 are extremely good by the way.

What ever took us down the path, needs a serious look at. Business is business, but not for the sake of making out to be doing the right thing because you really don't know any better.
Coach stuffed up? Out he goes, but then you have to take a head or two along with that for the appointment also and so it goes.

Western Bulldogs match?
If Kreuzer doesn't front, which seems that he most likely won't, we have another debutante fronting up. Mitchell? Casboult?

Surrey.....
Reid and Goodes??

What were their contested marking statistics???

Reid was ok..Goodes did bugger all as a kry forward.

But if you watched that game.. youd find they were not the crux players..
Jetta /O'Keefe /Bolton and everyone of their players who did what they had to do .. spoilt when they had to.. kicked it to the right areas and chained up beautifully.

If you think they had effective KPF youre dreaming

Sam Reid isnt power.. he is athletic.. and Goodes wasnt damaging.. or in the play.

They would have won that game without them,

In contrast WC were bomging the ball into theirs as if they did have power forwards.

Besides... how many power forwards are killing it in the AFL right now???

Its how you play the game that counts.

Swans is a classic example of a beautfully coached no frills type of TEAM

Microwave not working?

Harker its not about the injuries... its also about what happens with guys like Gibbs Russell Bower Garlett T Bird etc.

Who steps up?
who doesnt?
Who falls away?
How does the group react as a whole???

I wanna know harker... do you think this coach Ratten is the best man to manage.. condition... prepare and tactically lead this team???

Put it on the line....

Or just say

"I dont know... after 110 games i have no clue if this guy can coach this team to its fullest of potential..."

But answer the question....

KP forwards keep KP backs busy. All they need to do sometimes is contest, sometimes.
Swans are coached well by Longmire or the previous Roos?? Team hasn't changed much with coaches changing??
No - they have built a culture around hard nose players and are lead well onfield as well as off!!!
My point is that the players are dedicated to hard work and demand that from each other.
Can you put your hand or your heart and say the same about our's?

The actual issue is Ratts never planned for Henderson going back.

If Casboult or Mitchell played, they still provide a target inside 50 when Hendo moved back.

Kruezer may not play, injury has flared up

Surrey hard to say if youre serious or not.

Those players arent doi ng it only with hard work.
Ours try to work hard too.... but we dont have an effective game plan.
Our players dont have a clue.

How many undisciplined acts committed today?
How many times did Swans players all go up and spoil each other (Happens alot with us.. but not cos our players are t trying)
How mant times.. do they keep pushingt hat ball forward ... just relentless...

How are our bodies prepared for that kind of game???
How many times does Goodes run past the man and not recieve the ball.. contrast this to what we do with JUdd...

If judd demands the ball he gets another stat..

Goodes uses himself as a magnet to draw players away from where the ball is going.

And how many times do you see Swans players outmarked?


Theyre coached.. and they execute all the simple things better than us.

Theyre predictable in their relentless gameplan in sacrifice and pushing that ball forwards.

We play as a group of individuals....

cos were not welded together....

Lewis Jetta????

IS A @#$%&! GUN!!!....

He is Adam Goodes mk 2...

Well done for development....

their mids???

Not household names... but flower GUNS!!!!

Their defence.... wow!!!.... that esseindon reject??? never spoken about as an AA.. but wow!!!.. and how he leads that defence of not overly tall guys as a machine....!!!

their pick #150 ruckmen???(One from Canada growing up riding reindeers)

WOW!!!!!!

Coaching... development.. etc... A +

US????

BIG F FOR FAIL!!!

See the difference???

Of course ts going to flare up.

We have a coach who is about self presevation.

K should have been rested for a month weeks ago... and then checked

I wonder what were doing to this kids longevity
