Somehow I dont think so

SWANS coach Paul Roos yesterday declared he won't necessarily sacrifice younger players for the anticipated return of veteran key forwards Barry Hall and Michael O'Loughlin for Sunday's must-win game against Richmond at the SCG. Despite Sydney's inconsistent start to the season and their 0-3 record on the road after their disappointing loss to Fremantle, Roos seems determined to fast-track the club's rebuilding program by giving his generation next the game time needed to improve.
"We like to keep the young guys in because the only way they can learn is by playing," Roos said.
"We probably had six or seven kids on the weekend and it does make it harder and put pressure on the senior players.

Newman backs midfield to match Swans

RICHMOND skipper Chris Newman has backed the Tigers' midfield to match it with the league's kings of contested footy when they take on the Sydney Swans at the SCG on Sunday.
"They've been the benchmark in that area for quite some time and it's going to be a real challenge for us this week to match it with them," he said on Tuesday.
"They play a really hard brand of one-on-one football so I think the guys are relishing the opportunity to play against a group that are renowned for their hardness."
The Tigers have a dismal recent record against the Swans, losing their past five clashes by an average of 66 points.
Rather than ignore past results, Newman said the playing group had addressed them head on.
It was a tactic that paid dividends against North Melbourne last weekend after Richmond had won just five of their previous 20 games against the Kangaroos.
"We feel like we need to beat these teams that have had the wood over us," he said.
"If we're going to get anywhere with our football and be competitive in finals football, we need to start to beat the best. We got over the hoodoo against the Kangaroos and the next step is to beat the Swans."
However, Newman acknowledged that nothing short of total commitment from each player would be enough to get past the Swans on their home turf.
"We've shown glimpses of how good we can be in the games we've played previously, but we haven't played that four-quarter effort," he said.
"Against Sydney it's crucial, because they'll keep grinding away and grinding away and their physical presence can take a toll on you during a game. By the end of a game, they can blow you apart."

YOU WILL NEVER LEARN

Ryan O'Keefe has obviously spent a lot of time watching and studying us this week :wallywink
"Richo won’t be the only player that we must stop. Deledio is playing well, as is Foley, Tuck and they’ve also got Brown who is always dangerous."

I just don't think O'Keefe is all that interested this year. He's been very ordinary.
Watch now, he'll kick 7 and play a blinder this week :wallywink

Yep I always get nervous playing a side like the Swans who have plenty of midsize forwards who could get under our guard given our poor history of containing them. Hopefully the long trip from Perth and them possibly playing underdone O'Loughlin and Hall works to our advantage.

Swans will take the bite out of Richmond
Match preview - theroar.com.au
Sydney has won its past five matches against Richmond with three of those wins coming at the SCG.
FORM: Sydney suffered a disappointing 21-point loss to Fremantle at Subiaco Oval last weekend in what was co-captain Brett Kirk’s 200th AFL game. The Swans currently occupy 11th place on the ladder with a 2-3 win-loss record. Richmond broke through for its first win of the season last Saturday night, downing North Melbourne by 36 points at Etihad Stadium.
MEDICAL ROOM: The Swans welcome back forwards Barry Hall and Michael O’Loughlin from groin and ankle injuries respectively but will be without Craig Bird (shoulder) for at least one week. Veteran defender Leo Barry will be sidelined for another two to three weeks with a knee injury while promising youngster Patrick Veszprem (finger tendon) is likely to miss another month. For the Tigers, classy forward Nathan Brown (groin) will miss at least another week while Ben Cousins made a successful return from a hamstring injury in the VFL. Former skipper Kane Johnson (knee) is at least five weeks away.
KEY MATCH-UPS:
Brett Kirk vs. Brett Deledio
Deledio played a key role in the win over the Kangaroos, helping himself to 25 possessions, one goal and five inside 50’s.
The last time these two sides met at the SCG in round 10 last year Deledio was his side’s best player with 32 disposals, two goals and eight inside 50’s.
The Swans like to play a lock-down style of football and will be keen to prevent Deledio from breaking the lines and pumping the football inside 50.
Kirk has the quelled the influence of Sam Mitchell and Simon Black so far this season and will most likely be given the task of running with Deledio on Sunday.
Kirk, who is ranked first in the AFL for tackles per game with an average of 9.6, will not give Deledio any time or space at the stoppages and make him earn every possession.
Daniel Jackson vs. Adam Goodes
Goodes was damaging in the round 10 clash between these two sides last year, helping himself to 19 possessions, two goals and six inside 50’s in a performance that earned him the three Brownlow medal votes.
Like Deledio, Goodes is damaging with his ability to break the lines and kick goals.
If the Tigers are going to be any chance of recording their first win over the Swans since 2005 they will need to shut-down Goodes.
Jackson has been given some big tagging jobs so far this season and has also shown the ability to win his fair share of the football - highlighted by his game-high 33-possession performance in the win over the Roos.
The 24-year-old will need to pay close attention to Goodes for the full four quarters as he has the ability to turn a game on its head with a quick burst of brilliance.
Jarrad McVeigh vs. Matthew Richardson
Richmond’s last win over Sydney at the SCG was in round seven, 2004.
Richardson played a major role in that win, helping himself to 17 possessions, 10 marks and seven goals to lift his side to a 13-point victory.
The Tigers don’t need such a big performance from him on Sunday but they do need him to have an impact as he is one of the few Richmond players that has the X-factor to break the game open.
If Richardson starts in the midfield you would expect McVeigh, who has been given some big run with roles so far in 2009, to be given the task of matching up on the 34-year-old.
McVeigh, who has averaged 19 disposals per game and booted six goals so far this season, has the ability to hurt Richardson going the other way.
Luke McGuane vs. Barry Hall
Despite missing two games this season Hall finds himself in the top ten for goals with eight majors.
The last time Hall played against the Tigers in round 17, 2007, he booted six goals to inspire his side to a convincing 66-point win.
McGuane has been Richmond’s best defender so far this season and looms as the obvious candidate to match-up on the Swans spearhead.
If McGuane is going to be any hope of containing the Sydney veteran he will need his midfield to apply immense pressure all over the ground and deny the Swans the use of the corridor otherwise Hall will receive enough quality supply to kick a bag.
VERDICT:
With Darren Jolly expected to dominate Adam Pattison and Angus Graham in the ruck, the Swans should be able to dictate the tempo of the game. Richmond will battle hard all day but they simply won’t be able to win enough of the football at the stoppages to give their forwards any chance of kicking a winning score.
Swans by 38 points.

Stuck at work next week but shiftied a break to watch the footy, any suggestions of a good pub with fox around the southbank/city area too sneak out and watch the game.
I presume the Royal Oak in Richmond would have it but I may walk as could have a couple and could be a bit far.
Oxford Scholar shows footy but I don't know if they have our game on.
Bells is in South Melbourne so that may be a bit far away. Royal Oak would be closer.
Bells is just around the corner said they would put it on the big screen, Parma and a pot and larfin.

Waterside is cnr Flinders and King. I'm pretty sure they would have, Browny owns the pub! (or he uses to)

Brett Kirk vs. Brett Deledio[/b]
Kirk has the quelled the influence of Sam Mitchell and Simon Black so far this season and will most likely be given the task of running with Deledio on Sunday.
Kirk, who is ranked first in the AFL for tackles per game with an average of 9.6, will not give Deledio any time or space at the stoppages and make him earn every possession.
The upside I see here is that Mitchell & Black are both slow inside stoppage players. Deledio has far more acceleration than those two so hopefully he can get the best of Kirk. That's not taking anything away from Kirk who I think is a gun.

Good stuff. Just need a Tiger win CUB and it'll be a perfect day :thumbsup
-
Both sides as named.
Pretty poor Tiges. No pressure. Goal to Swans.
0 - 7

Rance on O'Keefe
All Swans at the minute. Basic first to the ball start. We're getting smashed :P.
Our backline asleep as the ball drops short. Swans goal :banghead
0 - 15

Richo vs Robertson-Thomson
Jacko on Goodes.
Good tackle by Jack :clapping. Tuck to Richo on the run gets his 800th :gotigers
6 - 14

Nahas grubber for a goal but ump calls it back for the free ::)
Patto from 48m. Point.
Thanks ump >:(
7 - 14

Point to Barry Hall.
We run it down Tambo to Jordie long. Collo crumbs a goal :gotigers
13 - 15
-
Swans straight out of the centre and goal thanks to their Canadian ruckman.
13 - 21
-
JON caught holding the ball. Swans get the turnover but its a point.
We run it down. Tuck at 70m goes to Richo but its spoiled.
Too easy for the Swans to run it back up the other end. Point.
Polo slips as he kicks. Turnover. Swans Jack pulls one out of his backside from the boundary.
Swans get the centre clearance to Hall. Too easy. Point.
13 - 30
-
Another Swans goal :help.
13 - 36
Richo can't run and struggling.
-
Quarter time
Richmond 2.1-13
Sydney 5.6-36
Goals: Richo, Collins
-
Richo is not fit and should not be playing.
Where are our leading forwards?
Despite being down by 4 goals, we have had enough of the ball but kicking long into the forward line doesn't mean much if it is getting kicked to a 3 on 1.
-
We're getting smashed at the stoppages and the Swans are rebounding out of our forward line far too easily. When we put pressure on them we got those two goals but apart from that it's been too easy for the Swannies.
If Richo isn't nowhere right then he shouldn't have played :-\.
-
THIS GAME IS OVER. ONLY QUESTION IS HOW MUCH??
-
richo is not moving ok, but should not be in the team because all we do is bomb it to him! too predictable
also when is the overrated turd foley ever going to use the ball properly, he busts his arse to get it and then cant dispose it properly
deledio work harder u sfool
-
Possies:
Bowden 8
Tambling 8
McMahon 7
Tuck 7
White 7
Cogs 6

Morton from the boundary around his body - OOTF
Richo off to the rooms
-
Our skill level is ok but their defence looks impenetrable
-
Poor play by Blingers. Had to run and bounce but just kicked it over even though there was no one to kick to upfield. Swans hit on the counter for a goal.
Playing too indirect and not protecting our teammates.
Lids finally gets a mark inside 50. Point.
14 - 42
-
Polo under pressure nice kick to Blingers. Poster.
15 - 42
-
4 kicks to leading forwards, 4 marks, 4 shots on goal. Okay,1 goal 2 points and one oob but still it makes a difference when the forwards move with purpose.
-
JON you superstar
-
JON now has a shot. Goal :gotigers
21 - 42
-
i dont understand how most of you want to get rid of JON.
What a goal and what a player he is. :clapping
-
Jordie laid a good tackle ;D but then gives it up with his kick :P.
Collo's kick doesn't get to Blingers.
Geez we make some shocking turnovers.
-
Our contested footy is better in close but getting killed on the spread outside. We've got no one to kick to up forward.
Goal to Swans.
Hall pushes in the back and no free. Misses anyway. Karma.
21 - 48
-
Richo back on :o
-
Collo miss.
Geez we make the simple hard :P
22 - 48

FFS Lewis R. Thompson on 19 possies before half time. WTF are we doing out there.
That last goal was Mcmahon's man. Absolute fool that bloke and he has many friends out there.
Tambling and Bowden the one's who can hold their head high.
Pathetic performance really and no structure up forward.
-
Free to the Tigers missed again ::). And then O'Loughlin pushes Moore in the back - no free :banghead.
28 - 61

Free to Gus on the siren. Tight angle. Goal :gotigers

I agree with y&b
-
Collins - Good so far from a youngsters point of view
Nahas - smart little player who can play and knows the game
Tambling - beenone of his better games
Rance - No where, maybe back to the twos for the young man.
Overall Swans - harder, more systematic, bigger, smarter and just better.
-
At least its not 13 goals to 1.Can we get any inspiration from Freo yesterday.Stop kicking it to Richo(when he is on)3 on 1-they are laughing at us.
-

Why don't you grow some balls and let him know in person
what makes you think i already havent! face facts he is soft , wont work hard and is a down hill skier
and when i see him again, i will tell him again, he is a soft sissy who is scared to get dirty and do the hard stuff
the acid is on him and if he does not improve in the second half he should not be treated different to others and should be dropped, dropping deledio will be the best thing for his career and attitude
-
At least its not 13 goals to 1.Can we get any inspiration from Freo yesterday.Stop kicking it to Richo(when he is on)3 on 1-they are laughing at us.
we can still win
1/ deledio has to start working hard
2/ we must stop giving them easy clearances and easy goals
and 3/ we must make the most of our possession and put score board pressure on
-
The problem is our forward structure - we don't have one. Too many numbers behind the ball and no one to kick to when we get it.
Jack, Morton, Nahas, Patto need to do more and apply more forward pressure. Leave Richo in the square and have the others higher up. Maybe push Lids up forward too. Oh and make LRT accountable to a man.
-
Good statrt. Nahas from outside 50
40 - 61
-
u see what deledio can do when he wants to work hard..............great goal by nahas
-
great goal nahas
can someone tell me how nahas can easily kick goals from 50 metres out then you have Patto who cant kick within 30 metres out.
-
Geez we had about 5 chances there and stuffed it up :scream
-
Swans run it up the other end and goal :banghead. That kills you.
40 - 67

Why would you put a pass on top of Nahas head :P

Swans run up and get a point.

Whitey finds Richo on the lead. 45m out on 45 degrees. Didn't make the distance :P
-
Off course we don't get the push in the back ::).
Finally Hall gets pinged for a push. Utter joke of a rule. Umps have no idea when to pay or not pay it.

Gus has it. Good pass from Jacko. Goal :gotigers

-
The only difference between the two teams was the forward line structure....That tackle on Jack Riewoldt is going to keep me awake all week.This is a game of massive missed opportunites....so many goals were butchered.
We were the better team after 1/4 time....But the season is back on life support.
Well done Tambo

i agree. Morton has done SFA all year. no second efforts no goals. NOTHING!!
Pathetic loss really
-
Never mind, great game Tambo and I firmly believe it will all come together next week, still making some pretty silly mistakes but like I said it will come together.
-
i agree. Morton has done SFA all year. no second efforts no goals. NOTHING!!
Pathetic loss really
Morton pathetic! no offensive forward pressure at all, I would drop him.
Lids has been far from a disaster this year, but as I have said before is also, IMO one of the biggest dissapointments this year.
Richo should not have played.
Edited to correct quote
-
Geez maybe some of you would be better off cutting the heads off live chickens alah Alice cooper......... actually he bit them off.

I'd assume Deledio must have raped your wife/girlfriend, but I'm not sure you could ever get one
-
Almost fell off my chair when a sports update on ONE just came on and said "In the AFL, Sydney does it easy over Richmond" ??? ::)
-
Morton pathetic! no offensive forward pressure at all, I would drop him.
If you were giving out of 10 for worst on the ground. today poor Mitch would score 50
He has struggled for the last couple of weeks ... some time at Coburg to find some form beckons I reckon

Yep, needed to step up today, especially when it became obvious Richo wasn't right - but he had a shocker instead.

Nice try but deledio would have no idea what do do with his manhood!
btw, if its ok to drop tambling, jordy, browny(as if he is seriously injured), bowden in the past etc for not having the influence they are supposed to have, why is deledio protected? he is not doing no where near enough and this year not only tambling has passsed him but also jackson! deledio should not be given leniency just because he was a no1 pick, he is underperforming...that means he must be dropped to the burgers and taught a lesson in work ethic
deledio never stands up when he is needed, and only gets his match stats up after half time when his opponents obv fatigue a little
i dont care what pick he is , he must work harder .......full stop
-

Nice way to contradict yourself, clearly he's working pretty hard if he's tiring out his opponent by half time
