What a crap first half......Looked like we had them early, but they have wrestled the momentum away from us.

Today is the perfect example of how we are the world champions at unearthing talent.............for the opposition!

C'mon BlueBoys lift!!!!

Gibbs Murphy judd all out of form. Bolton Jolly kirk goodes mcveigh all too experenced around the packs.

We are still a chance but will have to start handling the ball a bit cleaner and will have to shutdown white. Hartlett is playing for his career.

Not sure what game you're watching jim, but Hartlett has been on White the whole game...clearly.

Bower was on O'Laughlin but Anderson is now.

Thornton is loose. Bower may be on Grundy.

I haven't been watching the entire game, so it was more of a question than anything.

131 disposals for the half. That's woeful. We're getting drawn into shocking matchups and not running enough for each other. Same thing happens every week, it's just that some weeks our opponents can't screw our matchups and run less than we do.

If we can't beat Sydney ... we are 3 years away.

yep. seems to be following the usual swans vs carlton script. unless there's some iniative shown in the coaches box and on the field, the swans will strangle the bejesus out of the game. take the game on FFS!!

It'd be nice if Fev could find the space in F50 that we allow White to enjoy. I'm no big wrap on Hartlett by any means, but he needs his mates to help him a lot more.

I'd like to see guys like Gibbs Murphy and a few others just take on the ball and go for it. Nothing to lose, everything - finals spot - to play for.

White's kicked 3 goals, and had a few more shots on goal.

I reckon there were only about two shots that Harts had a chance to stop.

The rest were a result of good delivery, and would not have been stopped by the vast majority of backmen in the AFL.

It's our midfield that really needs to lift.

they are being coached to be defensive though

the use of gibbs today is a disgrace

seriously our coaching box is being shown up again

Hate to say it ... but .. (turn the other way if u get shocked easily)

GIBBS has been hopeless!

Lurker Blue · **Posted:** Sat Jul 18, 2009 3:35 pm

T-Bird on White.

Bower on Goodes.

Gibbs into the midfield.

Hammer in the ruck.

Krooooz up forward?

Good to see Ratt's a giving them a bit of a rev up.. unfortunately the players didn't seem to be any more pumped

grrofunger · **Posted:** Sat Jul 18, 2009 3:35 pm

he has been murdered by the box today

grrofunger · **Posted:** Sat Jul 18, 2009 3:36 pm

camel · **Posted:** Sat Jul 18, 2009 3:36 pm

Gibbs has been ordinary.

He's got quite a few mates so far.
