I still don't get it - Kennedy was BOG the week before, massive pump up via video from Stanton, not picked.

LOB has a very so so game in the same game, and gets a jumper.

WTF?

(i note no mention anywhere that Kennedy was injured again)

Point is, you simply can't have 2 or 3 blokes on the park who are only going to touch it a handful of times....

Sarcastic tone:

BB: "We select blokes based on form." (right up there with, 'We'll be defined by our pressure...").

End of sarcastic tone.

And, you're not the only one who doesn't get it. O'Brien and Levi were also inspired selections... ***cough, splutter***

Can I just add that the boys have become too comfortable being uncomfortable??

good one, Three Leos.

My favourite from BB is, "We don't put a ceiling on what we can achieve." Generally after being asked if he thought we could make finals, or what we sought from the season.

Just about the most unaccountable, mumbo jumbo piece of cr@p statement I think he's ever come out with. Great for shutting people up... you can't argue against it. Clever, and suitably ambiguous. Sort of thing Trump would love. And just the sort of thing you'd hear chanted at a pyramid/multi-level marketing seminar!!!

The human brain loves a clearly stated goal/vision, one that unites all, followed by the incremental steps required to achieve stated goal/vision. I'd much prefer, "It's our goal to play finals this year and go deep into finals next year, a premiership within 4 years", (for arguments sake). The stated goals of the first two years of the rebuild were practical, realistic and relateable for the fans. Last year and this, well, just unaccountable, visionless garbage.

People laughed at the Tiggers a few years back when they publicly stated they would achieve 70,000 members... unheard of at the time. They had a vision. Bravo. Who's laughing now?

How about a clearly stated vision for this year, BB? Nothing vague (he loves the back door left open), something that is actually palpable, treats us with a little respect and assumes we might actually be capable of critical thinking. If we fall short, well, we're very forgiving... that's obvious, eh?

Well I’ll be.....

“For Jones, dotting the Is and crossing the Ts began with video reviews of the Swans’ opening two contests with the Western Bulldogs and Adelaide. As he said: “I made sure I had a look at the blokes who played on him (Franklin) – Easton Wood in Round 1 and Daniel Talia the following week”.

A “go-to” person was the former Hawthorn, St Kilda and Fremantle key defender Zac Dawson, the recently-appointed manager of Carlton’s Next Generation Academy program.

“Zac’s been a great help. He’s given me key points each week, has watched vision with me and helped me preview the guys I might be playing on,” Jones revealed.”

Dawson was a guy with zero ability who managed to somehow keep a career going despite delistings to play 166 games.

Those are sometimes the types of guys who make good coaches. We all know Clarkson had zero playing ability.

It's why Leigh Matthews is such an exception, most good players are dud coaches.

Almost certainly teams coached by has-been superstars would have done better without them!

Interesting The Dees inspect recent Swans games and go with twin rucks!

Dees to defeat the Swans.
