I have just returned from the Gold Coast and have been reading the thread. One thing I noticed at the game which may account for some of the kicking to the opposition. The players seemed to be kicking to the jumper, i.e. red. In the replay you may even catch Luke Parker go to high five a player only to realise it was a GC player. I'm not saying it was the only reason for the turnovers but I'm sure it would explain some.

In the end, that's the be all and end all of it.
It is a very important game this weekend, to turn at 9-2 and puts us well and truly in the box seat for a top 2 finish, especially as our draw in the 2nd half of the season is fairly kind in terms of away trips, with the only toughies being West Coast and Geelong Away.
A loss however and it brings us back to the pack a bit - in particular the Hawks. I'd love to go into our game against the Hawks later in the year still 2 games clear, as we could all but shut the door on them finishing top 2 (Assuming Freo continue to go well) by beating them.
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
Last year we won 6 games by more than 10 goals, two of those were over 70 points and one was over 100 points. We also won 1 game by 50. But we Don't smash teams? The old ugly duckling Swans didn't, the swans of recent years are more than capable of handing out a solid belting. In saying that, Total winning margin is irrelevant but we played @@@@ against the Gold Coast, as fans we like to see them play well. That wasn't a good performance, see what Horse thought about the performance.
You get it Melbourne Blood ... so many don't ... I hope the players "get it" and some of our skill coaches start earning their money.
I'm the only person at this club that cares about percentage and how important it is at the pointy end of the season.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
Well we played better than Freo are - all you need is to keep on winning then % is irrelevant
