Game Day Round 07 Sydney Swans v Brisbane Lions - 1 May - 4:40pm @ SCG

[The King!]

No Daniher or hip wood either

yeah they were better today not denying it

but we are missing our best ruckman, a key defender, papley isnt fit etc

 

[swanssince2002]

Basically Melbourne and Brisbane are the only ones showing some consistency. Freo vying for that top 4 spot. Remember Lions sorta got screwed over at the Cattery with the hands in the back. Then its wide open really.

 

[SSwans2011]

It's a bit creepy how poisonous the atmosphere gets every single time we lose. Of course you get disappointed, but we get psychotically negative. It doesn't seem to happen on other boards with such intensity.

Oh, it certainly does happen on other boards. The only instance it doesn't is when a board collectively believes a coach is cooked and the attention gets turned towards the coach. See the Port board and GC board this year for examples of that.

It does get quite spicy here though. I've got COVID at the moment, and I'm self-medicating with beer and pot which is keeping me sedated enough to stay out of it.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Carlton jesus

they barely beat port

Gut feeling i have about certain sides against us.

 

[Millky95]

5-2 is a great start and it was a good contest

5-2 would take us to 16-6 which is pretty good for a season

Reckon the mids just need another year

 

[SuperMal]

Considering lloyd was worth about 2-3 goals for them, we arent far off

Its a team game....there’s some truth...but not absolute.

 

[The King!]

sometimes you tip the hat the best side on the day and keep working

credit to brisbane, Neale was a monster , especiallyin the third when it got close
Their goals from stoppages is just great set up and coaching and they have strong talent across the board

plus handled injury well

 

[The King!]

fair point

I get a bit sick of the double think that occurs on this board whenever there is a loss. It seems like the common consensus during the week is that we're a good team that isn't quite there yet. Then we're competitive but ultimately fall short against a contender and everyone loses their s**t.

We've beaten all the teams we should beat this year if you accept this board's consensus of where the team is at.

 

[Bloods86]

he surely plays v the suns

If Paddy's back, not sure he's in. Can't see us playing the McCartin's, Rampe and Gould.

 

[The King!]

Gut feeling i have about certain sides against us.

fair enough

i think we are good against Melbourne even though some want to present the cup now

 

[Millky95]

How did Ladhams go against an actual ruck set up?

 

[Dubsforsam1]

Getting McCartin, Hickey back into the team will make a big difference.
Players just need to be more efficient with the ball.

 

[ShireSwan]

Disposal efficiency.

Rampe - 40%
JPK 50%
Hayward 50%
Blakey 60%

Lloyd with a game losing 87%. Shame on him.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Good lesson for our mids today. Neale dead set smashed every one of them.

Lloyd didn't help but we were belted in the coalface (midfield).

 

[GoulburnSwan]

yeah went to franklin too much

drop him i reckon

Yep Cleary scoring 36 points (although it should’ve been 42) was a poor effort!!

 

[EvilleAces]

Need to target a couple of a grade defenders. One big one small.

yeah some weeks we cant fit all the guns in, other weeks we suck

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

wont win every week

5-2 is a great start and it was a good contest

we got beaten by the better side today who deserved the win, we never gave up

its not doom and gloom imo, quite the opposite

I think honestly most of that 2nd quarter where the game was lost was self inflicted.

I just dont understand most of our kicking to advantage.

 

[EvilleAces]

Sheather for the small defender in the not to distant future.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Rampe - 25%
JPK 50%
Hayward 50%
Blakey 60%

Lloyd with a game losing 87%. Shame on him.

This is why stats are stats. Watch the game, Lloyd was terrible. Compare Rich and Lloyd...one doesn't miss a target and doesn't cause 5 goals to the opponent

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

5-2 would take us to 16-6 which is pretty good for a season

Reckon the mids just need another year

The Brions are excellent and fully deserved their win. We got sucked into their game style. Can some journo ask Horse why we bomb it in to the fwd 50. Pleased we stuck at it

 

[Superstar swan]

Beaten by the better team today but there's still a few heads that should roll

 

[The King!]

yeah they beat us, not saying we didnt blow it

we might lose to essendon in 2 weeks,

teams lose games

Got beaten - but not terribly.
