    Urgh.

    I really need somebody to explain these new rules to me. What happened to holding the ball? What about that (not called) deliberate at the end there?

    That surface is awful. Nobody could keep their feet. A miserable game

    Gosh we were unlucky in that last couple of passages of play..... maggots swallowed their whistles late.

    Frustrating game yet again. If we had of used our opportunities early in the match, could have been a very comfortable win.

    Umpires too gutless to pay 2 obvious holding the ball against Freo. Infuriating!

    That one about 60 metres out from goal with a couple to go was as blatant as you would ever see for holding the ball. Its a joke of a rule now.

    Someone said we took a huge step forward in the way we were playing - are these people for real? Have they picked some random off the street to commentate? Baffling how poor the performance of everyone to do with this comp has been this year. Again, 'fans shoukd be pleased' what garbage.

    After a four week stretch where we looked like we may have turned the corner the last month has been a bit disappointing. Time to tank and give some peripheral players a chance to see what they can do. I also don’t want to see Lance play again this year. We have 2 or at best 3 years for him to be part of a realistic premiership challenge let’s put him on ice for 2019

    Youngest Swans team since 1997, nuff sed

    McLean looks very promising, maybe not ruck next season but KP, knows how to play

    Stoddart might just be a very good NEAFL player and no more?

    Some positives in that game but a lot if negatives too. Stoddart just got reminded of the step up. MacLean hopefully had a great game. Hopefully first of many. Overall too many brain fades and poor kicking for goal (seems like a problem every week). We should have won that game but they just seem way down on confidence. Can't get run ons but get run over.

    I thought we played courageously with the 22 we had out there

    Great effort in super slippery conditions

    Effort fantastic - composure at times down, and skill errors average at critical times. Plenty to take out of it, but still so ffrustrating to lose a game we really could have won comfortably.

    Gee I like the look of Rowbottom as a player - still raw but every game he has 2 or 3 moments that you make you go 'this kid will be a star'. Genuinely good kick of the footy too.

    Gerard Healy is becoming an enabler of umpiring underperformance and I cannot stand it. This old boys club fondness for dismissing blatant missed frees as some kind of badge of honour for the beneficiary is very 1980s and freaking wrong.
