Match Thread. Swans v Geelong.

[Ralph Dawg]

Gee we are missing Ramps! Defence are a rabble at the moment.

Ramps is very important for us. But surely it can't be down to one player. All teams have to endure injuries throughout a season but the best still maintain standards and structures. It seems like as soon as some pressure has been applied to us (started with Essendon, even though we won), we've become as weak as jelly. The worrying thing is that there's no one in 2s who is demanding selection and in all ways, they are playing as sloppy as the 1s. I think this might be out down as another rebuilding year.

Geelong are too big, too strong, for the Swans. The umps are allowing players to stand up in tackles as long as they want, not just this game, but all the games. It doesn't suit a matchup of kids vs. men. Their skills are very good as well. We are being totally dominated.

We keep giving the ball to them and they don’t give it back

Inside 50's 5 to 18 - says it all.

Here's some more:

Disposals: 130-66

Contested possessions: 40-20

Uncontested possessions: 92-36

Marks: 43-14

We're getting smashed.

We just don't seem to have any system. Moving the ball forward we are handballing to no one or to someone under pressure. Bombing it into the 50 isn't going to work. There is no cohesion and our backline is in disarray .

I'm feeling so nostalgic. Poor disposal is back at the Swans!

[Legs Akimbo]

Warner shows his class. A great kick for goal.

[Faunac8]

Great goal touch higher pressure level it appears after hopefully a rocket at quarter time

[Faunac8]

Errol finally gets a touch I think that’s his first that I have noticed.

[Legs Akimbo]

Younger brigade and Hickey showing the way. Great mark and goal Gulden
