Round 19: Geelong v Sydney Swans

[crackedactor]

We are a good team when under no pressure but as the pressure builds we fade away. Bloods NEVER did that. We now look like a 6 - 10 team.

What disgusting umpiring, an absolute disgrace. I suspect it was Fitzpatrick organizing some pay back for Colless revealing their conversation. Fitzpatrick will make sure he teaches the Swans a lesson. Cop that Swans! Apart from that we cannot run out a game. We always get beaten in the second half, we look twice as tired as the opposition. Do we need a new fitness coach?? Are we not training hard enough??

@@@@ing umpires! What other job can u make so many disgraceful errors & not only keep your job but get defended for it??????

No numbers on their backs tonight?

Felt we were already behind when McGlynn was out and Nanka was picked. To come out and show that putrid skills and intensity was very disappointing.
What has happen to Lloyd? His decision making, poise and kicking accuracy were once his strengths.
Pretty straightforward to beat us, clog the corridor and put extra back.

That game sums up where our midfield rotation and ruck clearances are at

When teams get going we don't have the run to spread with them

Why was McGlynn out?

We were outplayed and outclassed tonight.

Stop the bull@@@@ about umpiring - they don't kick the ball, they don't fumble the ball, they don't drop marks, they don't kick the ball to the opposition - all they do is call what they see.

Every decision is going to make only 50% of the crowd happy.

If you think you can do better, then have go at it.

I have respect for those guys, I have been there and done it.

So which one was it - an AFL conspiracy or us being outplayed in the second half??? You're kinda on the fence there....

unbelievable silly comment?? umpiring was disgraceful. I never said it cost the match!! Our lack of run in the second half was the major problem. Though they could creep over the mark, grabs us high, trip us and it was always play on. Opposite happen , or even it did not, the free kick was still paid.to Geelong.

The umpiring was pretty terrible but I agree it wasn't the reason for us losing.

[goods78]

Yep. We always get out coached....

Could not believe Reid being thrown in to defence late in the game.

We needed marking targets up forward not Jack v Taylor!

Longmire looking after the margin rather than giving us a chance to kick a winning score.

No, they just need a transfusion.

Let's use the remaining games to see what stocks we have in the reserves and if they can take the next step.
