R12 Swans V Saints @SCG - Live

[Blood Fever]

I think we're playing with intensity, but we keep kicking it to 3 on 1s in the forward half

St Kilda pressure very good. We've matched it. Need more input from Kennedy, Papley and others. They usually lift.

Really poor kicking into the forward line and some poor midfield disposal. At the end there Parker takes advantage and instead of kicking quickly and deep he handballs to JMc who was covered.

When they are like this you can see it in the lack of two way running. E.g. Amartey marked on half back and waited and waited for the link player to run past... just players wuth hands on hips jogging. Too many saints players running through the centre on the break. The signs are there imo including bombing it forward. To be fair, saints are playing tight and working hard, applying good pressure across the ground.

We are being beaten in the middle of the ground terribly. Need to take control and man up there. Not sure if the sun plays a part at times on that side of the ground. Amartey dropped an easy mark due to the sun shining in his eyes. But they are easily going through our midfield by very easy handballs. We need to be a bit more accountable in the midfield.

Not a pretty game. It's been a disappointing performance but maybe that's because of my expectations. The st kilda pressure has been good.

I've been pleased with Amartey especially around the ground.

We've had some quiet players so hopefully they can lift in the second half.

Reminiscent of last week not looking switched on in the first half and as happened last week I think our class will win out and we go on and win by 20 plus. Papley is a bit of a second half specialist so expecting a couple from him. Amartey showing good signs and hope he goes on with it and maybe picks up a goal as well. Lance maybe due a couple as well

These umpires are ******* disgusting. You can tell who the AFL want to win this one.

We are playing a zone which is allowing them to get players free. We need to play one on one. Our forward 50 entries are a disgrace. Just bombing in to free Saints players. Bloody look you idiots. There was one ball that went to Amartey surrounded by 4 Saints players. Three flew against him and one stayed down they got the ground ball. There wasn't even one Swans cumber there. Why? Why kick to a player way outnumbered in the first place. Our players are lazy today. Allowing them far too much room. Our tackling and pressure has been non existent

So frustrating. We are playing like a bottom side. Little or no pressure, terrible disposal, just bombing the ball to a contest coming out of defence and into the forward line. Our exit from defence has been terrible. On several occasions we had players free but Lloyd went long down the line or into the pocket. fu** me. We are not taking the game on at all. We are fumbling, handball ING to players who are immediately under pressure because we are not protecting the man. We are playing selfish footy. As long as my stats look good fu** everybody else. That's what it looks like.

There are a few problems. We are allowing Hill, who only managed 6 disposals last week, look like the best player in the AFL. Who the fu** is on him? Who the eff is on their half backs? Wicks has not touched the ball so far. Papley has had very little ball. Heeney wasn't sighted in that quarter. Hayward did not go near it in the last half of that quarter. We have too many players playing cameo roles. Not enough putting in full game effort.

Our mids are being beaten. The rucks are about even but we are being killed on the second touch. Our first touch is fumbly, unsure and useless which allows them to clean up. Theycare far cleaner than us. We are getting overlap but far too many disposals that don't hit their man or a fumble leading to a secondary possession where the player gets dispossessed. This is nervous footy. It's as though our blokes all have hangovers.

We need to be far cleaner in the second half. We need to play them one on one. Keep them accountable. We need to use the ball better. We need to tighten up on their half backs and mids. We need to have a far better plan coming out of the backline. Doing the same things every time is so predictable. What we did against sides that fill the corridor was to draw wide and then free up the middle of the ground. We are not even trying that. We need to do it fast.

If we don't wake up soon we will be beaten today. These guys are not that good. If we don't beat them we are a middling team.

May be best not to schedule any more games at this time at the SCG - the sun is affecting a lot of players. Start 90 minutes later maybe.

[stevoswan]

Come on Swans! Kick straight Will.

[Blue Sun]

This umpiring.... laughable.

Can somebody please explain that last free kick to the Saints that resulted in a goal? McCartin had his arms and head belted when we was in front yet the free and advantage was paid to StKilda.

Genuinely confused.

Feel better now?

If we don't beat them, we are a middling team......today. As I said earlier, we are better than this.

Pathetically biaised. But why?
