News Roundup - Mon 18/4
Well we start today's roundup with the Herald Sun and their match report from yesterdays match
Interesting quote out of that article was
"It was a comedy capers out there for a while," Roos said..
Well Roosy everyone knows that, even Blind Freddy's Blind Dog could see it. What I want to know is how you are going to solve this problem in the long term? This is somthing that should of been solved a long time ago, when you took charge and for it to still be happening nearly 3 years after you took over is wrong and not the direction the club should be travelling.
I know maybe we should get Batman out of retirement to solve these comedy capers?
Anyway from there we get the match report from The Age with Loss sours a big week for Swans
The Age seems to want to focus on the Swans lost chance to consolidate on last weeks great victory against Brisbane, which after yesterday means little. This is a fact brought up by Jude Bolton
"Roosy (coach Paul Roos) spoke to us after our win in Brisbane and just said to make it stand for something," said Bolton. "It's so disappointing to come up with a performance like that."We wanted it to be almost a season-defining win (in Brisbane), now we have to regroup for next week. It's definitely a setback after last week. It's a kick in the face
Good to know the players "really" care.
So on to the Daily Telegraph and their match report Swans Never In The Flight.
Just another stock standard report telling us that the Swans didn’t win and that we were shit (as if that doesn’t surprise us by now), with nothing special to report back on.
The Australian's match report Kids Prove There's Plenty To Crow About focuses on the Crows young players and how they had a major impact in yesterdays match.
Good quote from Roos on, how the Adelaide midfield really over powered the Swans.
As Sydney coach Paul Roos put it, the Swans accounted for Adelaide's A team of midfielders, but had no answer for the B team that stepped into the breach at the SCG yesterday.
Maybe its time to try and blood some rookies, otherwise this problem will only get worse.
Ah well, at least we have the news of Paul Williams to cheer us up - NOT
Williams' broken collarbone tops Swans' woes - The Age
Swans to miss polish of Williams - Herald Sun
Williams suffers broken collarbone - Swans Official Site
Basically this injury is going to hurt us because we just DON'T have a clear cut option to replace Willo's role in the side. Sure we'll bring in McVeigh, but other than that who do we use to provide the attacking drive out of the midfield?? My pick would be Goodes, but I guess David Sprigg will be the man (gee, great lot of good that will do).
