Is he the reason the Swans have failed to reach ultimate success for past 6 years. Their recruitment seems to be good.

Or should they just be happy to be making finals.

Sydney are getting old, they have no depth and Buddy struggles in finals, he lacks energy. Is that Jacinta's fault ? :lol: :lol:


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Myth.

Has relied on Kennedy, Hannebury, McVeigh, Jack, Parker and Franklin.

4 of them are cooked. And alas, so are Sydney. Lingerie has zero answers.

To be fair, how do you uncook a player.

You can't.

But as a coach, your true worth and ability is on display not when you have half a dozen legends at their peak - but when you don't.

So my Tiger friends are right in saying Hardwick is a passenger.

But the head coach position at a club like ours is not overrated?

I posted this in the "Hannebery" thread:

" ... if we replace Richo with Longmire I will be seriously pissed off
He's an average coach of a fairly talented team
The GWS midfield are killing the Swans midfield
Hmmmm what to do .... ?
Move Franklin to on ball or at least up the ground !!
But he's too stupid to even consider it !
So their best player sits deep in the forward 50 doing nothing
Longmire is a dumbass"

He relies on his best players
He has no plan B

It's a really good question, and I'm happy to debate it. I actually don't think it's black and white.

It's late and I'm drunk, so I'll respond tomorrow. Genuinely good question IMO.

Pass him onto St kilda and pursue a newer version.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

You don't. You find a sucker to take em off your hands so you can bring in an uncooked one.

Now which club would be silly enough to assist?

Footballers are like sausages you can fry them boil them or bake? them .. but in the end they are all sausages.... so I suppose they all get cooked one way or another

Ok, I didn't know that, I only watched the 2nd half
But it was an elimination final so no 2nd chance
If he was played injured then that's a stupid decision
He still had to try something to change it around
Still a dumbass coach
