    what is wrong with them tonight? A pack forms and Geelong clear the ball so easily without no pressure?? Our rucks/ruck rover midfields are woeful tonight? Thank god for lukey parker. They almost look a little bit disinterested. I hope the real Sydney comes out in the second half.

    I wish our mids would look, even for a moment, before they kick.

    Jetta's disposal is textbook.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    Jack is useless and has been since the 2013 game against GWS. They got in his head big time and he hasn't been the same since.

    Rohan hasn't impacted at all. Even his forward line pressure is missing. Where does he go?
    Shaw is getting found out badly.
    Reid has disappeared again.
    Getting well and truly flogged out of the centre.
    We need to work so much harder even though we have had 40 more stats at half time.
    Geelong are pretty quick and doing us on the outside.
    Johnson is a dog.

    Plenty of shockers tonight ... the defence is just woeful ... no cohesion ... no confidence ... they seem to just run away at centre clearances willy nilly ... our set up looks all wrong ... Rampe stopped being a potential star when he decided he had already arrived ... Shaw is gone ... Grundy is just slow thinking Grundy ... Mike has been round long enough to see 2 obvious hand passes in preference to a no look / round the corner 30 metre kick. Some one on here said he didn't think we would take them lightly ... in my mind they were favourites unless we started to play like our reputation ... and we haven't!

    The surface is still crap I see.

    Buddy gets absolutely raped and no free ...but able to somehow get his boot to the ball.

    Ruckwork has been poor tonight so far.
    That was ridiculous. If that's not holding then idk what is.

    also, not a great idea to use the word rape not in the context of rape.

    Pyke is such a liability around the ground now.

    We are at our stupid best with dumb disposals, stupid kicking and lots of poor decision making. A good team would be 6+ goals in front by now....

    oh and no 15 in the umps is doing his bit to help the cats.... at least 3 goals directly from awful calls from him.

    come on swannies, pull your finger out!

    FFS! What is going on? Really poor effort so far. Glimpses of what we're capable of, then back to error riddled 'deer in the headlights' stuff. Umpires, of course, aren't helping, but we're our own worst enemy at the moment. Massive improvement needed in the second half.......

    It's a good close game .
    Cats have some smart players and are a heaps better team than last year.
    Hope we can time the centre hit outs a bit better.

    It's the 7th game of the season. We have the best injury list in the league. We should be in top form, but if this is top form, we are in deep trouble. Win, lose or draw, a lot has to change for us to be serious contenders for anything this year. The evidence is in. It's just not working.
