    I'm still trying to come to terms with why Aliir spent all of that time languishing in the reserves.

    Buddy has now gone goalless for 6 consecutive quarters. Something ain't right here.
    It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

    I'm hearing ya Wardy, I rapidly feel like I'm falling out of love with the way the game is headed, really am. Not helped by the Swans playing like a V10 with the handbrake stuck in the on position as our gameplan just isn't great.

    Yes but judging by the pushing in the back of the Swan player in the first quarter that wasn't a free. Same goes for the push in the back (in the side) against Rampe in the first quarter. Umpires lacking consistency big time and the ch. 7 commentary, especially McAvaney, is just as bad.

    It must be some serious issue to restrict training so much. But we saw it with Hanners, we have form for trying to make players burst through walls and play when they are clearly not quite right.

    Disappointing isn't it. I've been lacking interest since the 2016 GF. This game is rigged.

    The worst thing is about the umpiring - they NEVER mention the stats. It must not be spoken about it seems

    The commentators really like to favour whomever is playing the Swans. Thats being polite.

    Puzzling why they've given up on COR and chucked him forward. He's made a few mistakes sure but surely he's better value for us back than forward, a position I'm sure he's never ever played at any level.

    Very valid point. The media will talk about rules and decisions in the context of a particular rule but never talk about the standard of the actual umpiring. Never in my time of following this game has their been less media scrutiny of the actual umpires......it is really strange.
