Next week at a glance

Re: Next week at a glance

Funny how we see games diff , i thought Tiller tried hard today and Hill did ok, thought Wight and Williams were shocking.

I agree on Hill, he wasn't dominant be generally when he was involved he did good things. Should have slotted the easy goal, but was a contributor.

Tiller, wasn't bad, just didn't get involved enough. May have been due to a lack of game time though I think he found the pace of the game difficult.

Williams I'll give the benefit of the doubt too b/c he was obviously underdone and needs time.

Wight's game......really was awful. The kick across goal to Pavlich and the fact Tarrant gave him a bath.....

Not necessarily.

North have been pretty ordinary this year whereas Freo really should have won there last 3. Yes we can argue to the cows come home that they have squandered there opportunities, but they have played some pretty good footy against 2 of the top 3 teams to get themselves in winning positions.

If we play the way we did for 3 quarters against North we will lose. 1 quarter of football isn't good enough for North.
I agree Freo have played good football against good opposition but I still don't rate them.

I would have Addison in before Hill

On current form I would agree and with Cullan out Addison is a little more valuable.

Re: Next week at a glance

I see no reason to change a winning combination.

In 2005 and 2006 the Swans used the least amount of players of any team.

Agree, however, Callan will come back in. I believe for Tiller.

Re: Next week at a glance

North are better than Freo is the reason.

North are not as good as last year and even with Boomers milestone game we should but them away just nicely. I think that Thompson has back has changed their winning game plan and the Ruck/Onballers are currently off the pace.

Freo well they really are a box of chocolates - You just don't know what your going to get!

Again I'll state if we played as badly this week again we will lose as North are not Freo.

I disagree with that as well. We knew they were prone to choke. No surprises.

Is choking the same as running out of gas?

Freo were out on there feet in the last qtr and lost the game because of this reason. I think that is a sign of not being fit enough and to me it has nothing to do with choking.

Thats they way I took it. They have faded a few times and I think most teams would know that. If you can get close to them late in the game you are in with a big chance.

Hopefully the trip and hard game hasnt exhausted us for North

Re: Next week at a glance

Is this Boomers 250th? I bloody hope not

IIRC arent the Roos one of the best teams in milestone matches? I think their record is fairly spotless.

Whether you think its choking or a lack of fitness, North won't make the same mistake.

Neither, they have simply forgotten how to win, how to play disciplined footy and Harvey does not inspire them to it.

Agree.

Coming into last week we knew that Freo would slow down in the last and we would win the last quarter.

We can not say the same about North regardless of how good / poor they have been.

Simply if we play those 3 quarters the same we will lose a lot of games.

Bollocks...

Do they switch from disciplined to un-disciplined footy at 3/4 time??

Of course they do, how do you explain their 4th quarter fade outs? They simply cannot play four quarters of footy, how else would you describe it other than undisciplined? Leading at 3/4 time I think they feel they have done enough and just try to play to stay in front if you like, rather than try to attack and win. It is not an issue of skill or cattle or tactics. They just go to shit when they have a chance of winning and it can only be through playing undisciplined 4th quarter football.
