Amazing to see the contrasting posts from first quarter to the rest of the game. Swans just took the foot off the pedal and we just don't have the skill to wrestle it back

Every season lately we have a game like this. I could smell it coming. We will probably win the next 5 now.
Wow, how bad was that?
Turns out the Grundy omission was an awful call. Marsh is not an AFL defender.
So too the decision to play Cameron. He was poor.
I think our inexperience was exposed. We let our standards drop and then we didn't have players able to stand against the tide to bring it back. Season-worst games for Florent, Jones and Ronke. Selecting Newman is pointless.
Poor games by Smith and Franklin. Hewett needs to contribute more with the ball.
Outstanding game by Aliir. Kennedy did what he could.
SICKENING
forgotten 1996
2005 a much sweeter memory,2012 even better
We just got absolutely spanked by the worst team in the competition at the contest. The only midfielder who won the ball or made a tackle stick was Joey. The rest were kinda just standing there and doing nothing of consequence at all. We can talk about our defensive / offensive structure, coaching, Buddy, team selections - you name it. But at the end of the day, if we continue to get smashed at the contest, then the rest is completely irrelevant. So who can support JPK? In the past he would've had his mates Jack and Hanners but they both look gassed for 2018. Parker looks great up forward but pretty average at the contest. Heeney, Ollie, Hayward and Paps seem to run a bit hot and cold as midfielders. Maybe Dawson needs a go - I heard the commentators mention he laid 20 plus tackles in the Neafl today. But at the end of the day, our only genuine option for 2018 is for the players we have to step up.
Doesn’t matter in the scheme of things, I guess. Swans aren’t flag contenders, merely making up the numbers. Here’s hoping they serve up a better performance next week. And please, put Grundy back in the team.
he deserves it , his coaching is not getting any better. Players I think have stopped listening, and maybe his selection need exploring, While I agee Cameron deserved a go perhjaps Sinclair didn't like it, he was terrible, The back line was pathetic perhaps they didn't like reg not being there.
