Umpires will no doubt find a nice brown paper bag stuffed with cash, post game, in the rooms, courtesy of the Swans HQ. Worst umpiring experience in a long long time. We havent played all that great, we need to lift hugely, all round the ground, Fly must read the riot act now. Elliott, Shulz, Johnson, josh Daicos, Mihochek, all must lift now. Game far from done, but if these umps can just see both sides, be a big bonus. Go Woods !!

Put Ash Johnson on the market now.

And would he get a game in the SANFL?

I couldn't see another team listing him. What dynamic does he bring? Doesn't have repeat leading patterns. Great kick but can't hold marks.
Watch how many times he goes to ground.

The whole team can gone cringe. Even the coaches address to the 19th man reeks of hubris.

The team had lost its desire

Hate to say it because I don’t know if we will ever see him back but we are missing Murphy in the back half.

Umpiring has played no factor in the Swans lead. They are cutting us up pure and simple. The Swans don't need to waste money buying off the officials when playing against us. We are pathetic at the moment and unless we can rediscover some of our form last year we're heading for a 10 goal drubbing.

It is ALL our fault!

I'll be the first to slag the maggots but this is not their doing. Yes, Mason was stiff when he took that mark, and McCreery was right cos the ball was out of bounds but otherwise, we're missing Tom Mitchell, Taylor Adams, Nathan Murphy and probably Jack Ginnivan, and cannot cover for them.

The 19th man is in cardiac shock at the moment. Medics have been called for but he'll be on life support by the end of the evening I think.

Think we have no choice but to get Frampton into the side next week.

Same story as last week, we’re being exposed for height down back.

[Greening gold]

There's a few blokes out there who've won their last premiership medal.

[The Black and White Lion]

The stats can lie but 9 of the top 12 players on the ground are swans. Just not working hard enough. Not leading to make kicks possible. Not overlapping to make runs. Dodgy kicks. It’s just not happening tonight

[shawthing]

Gee if we lost to St Kilda next Thursday night (yet another six day break!) this could get very ugly.

Massive loss. I underestimated it in the off season.

[LaurieHolden]

Johnson off, Macrae on.

Let's hope the umpire's legal team aren't reading this post as its highly libelous. lol

There's so many things wrong with this team, where do you start? Let's start with father time. We're too old. Pendlebury, Howe and Jamie Elliot should have announced their retirements after the grand final. Schultz might be OK if he had a couple of tall forwards around him. How is Ash Johnson getting a game? Sidebottom is having a new lease of life. He's the only 30+ player out there justifying his spot. How Macrae and McInnes can't get a game reeks of the Buckley era when we played favourites like Jesse White. Dean is obviously having a poor game but we need to offer him some slack after missing two years of his football. Our year is going up in smoke before our eyes. The Swans should be at least 5 goals up at half time. We're going the same way as Geelong last year. Selwood had the good sense to retire. Our players just want to keep going which is preventing guys like Macrae coming through. I hope Fly has the good sense to start rejuvenating the team.
