Game Day Sydney Swans V. Richmond Tigers - The Mitch Morton Cup

[Horts]

Yeah we should of won it in the end we threw it away

But i also feel if hawks had equivalent players out it would be mentioned all game

Win next week and all is right

Lose and this game takes on more meaning

Without doubt we had our chances.

I'm relatively okay with the fact we lost, it's just the fashion that we lost it in. We looked really really bad, we didn't look like a Preliminary Final team let alone a Grand Final team.

Our outs were our own fault, with the exception of probably Bird.

Looking forward to having Kennedy & McGlynn back. Those 2 play tonight and we scrape over the line in my opinion.

You heading up next week? Looking into flights tonight.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Geez the hysterics in here is over the top!

Tigers came out with intent and got the rub of the green. After that the game was pretty even.
We butchered the ball and still only lost by a kick.

Fancy smashing a 1st game ruckman and the coach for playing him. FFS.
I thought he showed a bit, obviously a long way to go.

As for the Goodesy bashing, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Why mate? its not a good look at all he is ruining his reputation if he cares about that.

I might actually, tempted to roll dice and go prelim weekend maybe that is arrogant

LOL! might as well just put out the prelim thread then

 

[stevoswan]

While I don't blame the umpires I really wouldn't mind never seeing Matt Stevic again.

Stevic is a grade A ****.

 

[Tedeski]

Yeah, but their back si

Yeah,but their back six played to different rules....there was at least 3 frees not paid in the last 90 secs that would of been paid up the other end. It was a close loss wet ground 9 players<50 games, basically a third of the side not there today. Bring on the real stuff.

Yeah but that start is concerning.

 

[Horts]

Yeah in the same boat. I'm not giving karma any chances to * me though so ill probably make the trip.

My missus birthday next weekend tho so ill be solo. I'm thinkin BF meet at the station after the game and have a sip in the city if we win.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Yeah but that start is concerning.

Was the mindset going into the game i have never seen us concede so easily.

 

[Number37]

Why mate? its not a good look at all he is ruining his reputation if he cares about that.

If you are talking about the staging, yeah not a good look, but Swans supporters bashing him is out of line IMO.

If you are talking about his game, he wasn't that bad, IMO he was OK. Swans supporters bashing him for something he hasn't done all year (defensive pressure) all because we lose to Richmond is completely ridiculous.

He dived bartel style

 

[Tedeski]

It was just unprofessional to be kept scoreless at the start.
We needed to just absorb the heat they were always going to bring at the first bounce.
A little arrogant is perhaps the best description.

Yep thats the problem i have with him just goes to ground and looks for the free way to easily, we all know he is limited in his defensive pressure due to his turning ability.

 

[Tedeski]

Mitchell books himself a finals gig.

Fresh Buddy. Fresh JPK. Hopefully McGlynn. Reasonable hit out, good finals prep and no injuries.

Bring on finals.

McGlynn is in trouble if he doesn't play next week.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

McGlynn is in trouble if he doesn't play next week.

McGlynn probably did a 3-4 week calf in round 18.

 

[Tedeski]

It's a newish rule implemented after the hawks were kings of holding onto the man after they had disposed of it

First time it's been paid all year.

It was 5 goals, umpire and luck assisted. s**t happens.

Given what happened at the start, we went alright.
Parker was huge, Mitchell was huge.
Reg & Ted were a bit off but not horrible
Rampe was huge
Jetta was good in patches but lazy at other times
Ball movement was off.
Smashed in the ruck.
Lloyd and Cunningham go from strength to strength.
Tippo looking good.

Add JPK, Buddy, McGlynn and normal programming will resume next week.

Still can't see us getting beaten in September.

Agree we will win the next 3

This team will be fired up next week

 

[Tedeski]

Meh, lost with 5 of our best 22 out, shitty conditions, shitty ground and shitty umpiring and only lost by 3.

Nothing to see here, move along.

To make the GF we need to win 2 more on that "shitty ground" with perhaps the same "shitty umpiring".

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Longmire

"We tried to win the game so that was good"

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

One of Kennedy, Bird, McGlynn will miss next week unsure who yet wanted McGlynn and Kennedy to play today but weren't quite right (worry)

 

[Number37]

He dived bartel style

It's not the end of the world if he dives.
Despite what some people want to believe, every player dives/stages/plays for frees.

Yep thats the problem i have with him just goes to ground and looks for the free way to easily, we all know he is limited in his defensive pressure due to his turning ability.

He doesn't do it all the time.

 

[Cadsky]

Rance is a dead set cheat. That guy would get away with murder.

How long does he have left on his contract? Get him to the swans!

Several times today and cost him a shot at goal

It's amazing the level of cheating he gets away with. Rules go out the window when he's in town
