talk about men against boys.

the swans will be looking to do some long term psychological damage tonight.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Will be a massacre.

good effort by the kids

i was surprised watching them in the knob cup but thought they'd  loose the plot a bit in the real stuff.

gold coast didn't look as well oiled in their first match, or pre season either, for that matter.

I thought so too Al.

In part to your statement I thought the experienced coaching duo of Sheeds and Chocco if anything  may have physically and mentally prepared GWS for the rigors of footy as opposed to the inexperienced Guy McKenna.
I know they have played one quarter but Sheeds and Chocco may get these kids development fastracked quicker than McKenna at GC. Not saying GWS will avoid the inevitable slaughters along the way either but experience in coaching will play a critical role in their development.

[Penelope]

yeah, that dawned on me too watching the two coaches at 1/4 time.

theres a lot of experience, and past success, there.

[tiger101]

Not sure if its just the slippery conditions that highlight it more but GWS are going in very hard at the footy when its on the ground.

[Penelope]

they're not overawed and they aren't taking a backwards step

The Swans aren't a team that blows sides away, but credit to GWS, they've been ok. The old heads have done their job and the kids are having a crack.

I think the kids earned some respect from the swans rather having any psychological damage done

[Hellenic Tiger]

Kids did okay tonight for GWS. They hung in there. At times in the third I thought the Swans were just going to run away with a much bigger victory but kicking 1.12 in the last quarter and a half will stifle that.

They just don't bury sides the Swans. They lack a real killer instinct and at best I can't see them doing better than what they did last year.

[Penelope]

they've used us as witches hats a few times tucker.

they grind you down and if you crack they slaughter you.

the kids tonight didn't crack.

[Penelope]

Dont ever let anyone, any player, any club , DOMINATE YOU!
That is is the essence of what football is about.
